84 Tennyson Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

A luxurious home that goes so much further than appearances, this executive standalone residence is a triumph of form and function. Immediately impressive from the road, then raising the bar on entry, the architect-designed home is accented by raised ceilings, expanses of glass, clever skylights and exquisite stone surfaces all elevating ambience and experience. 

Across a fenced front garden shaded by iconic Plane trees, the double-glazed accommodation unfolds past a ground floor garden-view main bedroom with walk-in robes and luxe ensuite to the sun-filled entertaining zone at the rear. An incredible space for hosting, the gourmet kitchen has been planned to create the perfect workflow and features a waterfall stone island, twin ovens and an induction cooktop. Substantial storage here and in the butler's pantry with integrated dishwasher is an added highlight. A bank of stacking sliders retracts to connect indoors with an incredibly private deck forming an exceptional setting for alfresco entertaining – shaded by a remote awning, it looks out to the irrigated landscaped gardens. 

More living space can be found upstairs, cleverly incorporating a study nook. Also here are two oversized bedrooms - both with fitted wardrobes and sharing a simply breathtaking bathroom with freestanding bath. And while the main home offers space for families, there is an incredible bonus of a self-contained studio above the garage, featuring a living area/home office, bedroom, bathroom & kitchenette (dishwasher & fridge) that will cater for teenagers, guests or in-laws perfectly.

The double garage with laneway access from both Byron & Mason streets offers a wall of storage that conceals secondary laundry facilities, while the powder room & main laundry flaunt yet more lavish use of stone. Entertainers will love the purpose-built 288-bottle wine cellar which is temperature-controlled for optimum storage conditions. Remote blinds & linen drapery, zoned heating/cooling & hydronic under-floor heating, CCTV & alarm, the inclusion list goes on & on, and only a visit will reveal the true appeal.

An exceptional home enhanced by a brilliant location. Just moments from a choice of neighbourhood cafes & shops, close to trams & Ripponlea station, it is also a straightforward trip into the city and to some of Melbourne's best beaches.
