5/493-495 St Kilda Street, Elwood.

Big rooms. Snazzy updates. And a garage that doesn't stop at fitting the car. This first-floor apartment in a securely accessed boutique block has some serious advantages over its modern counterparts, starting with the generous proportions and finishing with a location that puts parks, cafés and the beach firmly on the agenda. Made for spreading out, having friends over and enjoying the luxury of space, the living room is filled with natural light from wide windows. Timber floorboards add warmth, and a door opens to the balcony when you feel like a little fresh air and a leafy green outlook. Split-system air conditioning keeps things comfortable whatever the weather. Across the entry, the kitchen has a personality of its own, with streamlined cabinetry, gas cooktop, dishwasher and a dedicated meals area. Both bedrooms are just as roomy, one featuring a long bank of built-in robes. The bathroom catches the eye with bold mosaic tiles, a shower over the bath and washing machine taps, while the separate toilet is a welcome bonus for sharers. As for the oversized lock-up garage, there's room for bikes, golf clubs, suitcases and whatever else needs a home. The location makes a pretty persuasive case for getting outdoors. Elsternwick Park and the newly opened Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve are close by, the Elster Creek Trail is ready for a walk or ride, and the beach is always tempting. Elwood Village and Glen Huntly Road take care of the coffee, shopping and dinner plans, while Brighton Road trams and Elsternwick Station make commuting easy. Whoever ends up with the keys is going to be very happy here. All information provided, including floorplans, room dimensions, and land size, is indicative only and intended for general guidance.
