320 Barkly Street, Elwood.

The stylish renovation of this engaging Edwardian one block from the beach has produced a flawless family environment that is grounded in its heritage yet entirely at ease in the present. The leadlight windows and covered front porch remain. So do the cast iron fireplaces, rich timber floorboards and the framework of a home built to endure. The kitchen is the centrepiece of the transformation. A substantial stone island bench anchors the space, wide enough for morning coffee, a cheese board at six o'clock and serious cooking any night of the week. Two sinks, a dishwasher, gas cooktop, canopy rangehood and wine fridge cover every occasion, with storage that is generous. The adjoining living and dining room, with split-system air conditioner, is expansive and filled with natural light. Large windows draw the greenery inside from every angle, and French doors open wide to a north-east facing terracotta-paved courtyard framed by artistic landscaping and mature planting. Three generous bedrooms sit towards the front, each with robes. The main bedroom has its own ensuite, while the central bathroom references the era with tessellated tiles, a corner spa bath with gold fittings, a separate shower and a timber vanity with a marble top. A carport and side shed are also included. Jerrys Milk Bar and MO Moran Reserve are moments away. The Elster Canal walking track, Elwood Village, Tennyson Street and Acland Street are all within easy reach, along with the Botanical Gardens and the beach. Zoned for Elwood Primary and Elwood College, with St Columba's and both Ripponlea and Balaclava stations nearby.
