1/2 Vautier Street

Hidden behind a high wall in a leafy Elwood street just steps to The Village, a sanctuary-like courtyard garden introduces this majestically proportioned and indulgently appointed four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence, which combines high-end architecture, designer flair, private low-maintenance alfresco spaces, and a highly considered floorplan perfect for dual family or multi-generational living and entertaining. Cocooned in tropical-inspired greenery, a travertine pathway edged by a tranquil fishpond leads to an over-sized pivot hinged entry door, where under-floor heated travertine offers harmonious connectivity with the indoor and outdoor spaces, flowing through the expansive open plan living and entertaining zone, through to a leafy, sun-drenched rear garden courtyard, accessed by floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. Completing this space is a gas log fire heater in marble surrounds and refined timber custom joinery while the gourmet cook's kitchen features stone benchtops, a bespoke cork-topped mobile island, and an Ilve oven and 5-burner gas cooktop below a pair of Qasair tubular rangehoods. Incorporating the greenery from outside, and adding to the bespoke designer style, is a full-width glass splashback window, while a walk-in preparation pantry enhances the entertaining amenity. Newly carpeted with pure wool, the sumptuous downstairs main bedroom suite incorporates a large walk-in robe/dressing room and a floor-to-ceiling tiled luxe ensuite with rainshower. Bathed in natural light, the upper level main bedroom suite is equally indulgent, with access to the wraparound decked sun terrace, and a 5-star ensuite showcasing a freestanding 'egg shell' tub and bath spout. Sharing a central bathroom are another two generously sized bedrooms, both with built-in robes, one with additional study space and access to the deck. Additional highlights include video intercom entry, automated blinds, designer pendant lighting, luxe downstairs powder room, ducted heating and cooling, separate laundry with laundry chute, garden lighting, outdoor speakers, and a remote-door garage with internal access. Step outside and you are in the heart of Elwood's vibrant Ormond Road shopping strip, while the sands of Elwood Beach, the Bay Trail, foreshore parkland, and a host of lifestyle amenities are at the other end of the street.
