121 Ruskin Street, ELWOOD

On an exceptional Elwood allotment of approx. 1,020sqm, this gracious Californian Bungalow showcases the quality of the era, the proportions synonymous with the heritage and the potential suited for tomorrow. Nestled amongst flourishing gardens, there is the added highlight of vehicle access not only to Ruskin Street but also to the laneway at the rear.
An elegant foyer embraced by handsome timber panelling and providing the warmth of an open fireplace creates an incredible welcome then from here, an elegant dining room with box bay window sets the scene for refined soirées. To the front, a peaceful lounge opens out to the pillared front verandah while a second living area and timber kitchen with meals area look at to the rear garden.
Including three large bedrooms (BIRs) sharing a traditional bathroom with clawfoot bath, this grand home offers the comfort of hydronic heating inside, while out amongst the established greenery are multiple out-houses offering workshop space, a studio and laundry/WC plus ample storage, pizza oven and a lock-up garage.
With a 5.8kw solar system, original accents that include beautiful leadlight window, this is an incredibly rare chance to procure a substantial allotment approximately 500m from the foreshore. With the opportunity to sympathetically renovate and extend, drawing on the character and charm of its classic vintage (STCA), this special family home is just metres to cafes, buses and within a walk of schooling.
