435 Kooyong Road

Set behind a picket fence and a softly layered garden, this red clinker brick Edwardian reveals itself with confidence and presence. The verandah stretches across the façade, its timber fretwork casting light and shadow, while the home holds its place elegantly on the corner. Inside, the character remains consistent in its charm. Ornate ceilings, leadlight windows, rich timber floors and traditional fireplaces bring texture and balance, offering generosity with size and ease. Four well-proportioned bedrooms with high ceilings, each with a garden outlook, unfold along the central hallway. With the fourth bedroom adapting to a home office to suit. Moving through the broad hallway, the home opens into a contemporary living arrangement. The kitchen connects directly with the dining and living area, creating a central space filled with natural light for day-to-day living and relaxation. French doors extend this space outward from the living area to a private courtyard, with the indoors and outdoors coming together naturally, while a second, large outdoor area provides additional space to entertain, offering flexibility rarely found. From its corner position, the secure lock-up garage is accessed via the side street, allowing the front of the home and its garden to be enjoyed, with an alarm system and video security in place that promotes the peace of a low-maintenance lifestyle. The home sits at the heart of Elsternwick, only minutes to village shops and restaurants, excellent schools, green spaces and easy transport connections, including Elsternwick, Caulfield and Gardenvale stations, alongside trams and buses, all coming together with ease.
