51 Rutland Avenue

Framed by elegant gardens and elevated by architectural poise, this seaside residence seduces with a beautiful blend of French Provincial romance and Georgian revival symmetry in this privilege position mid-way between Mt Eliza's vibrant village and the beach. An effortless stroll to village supermarkets, grocers, cafs, restaurants and boutiques, and an equal distance to the Ranelagh Club and shoreline just moments from the end of the street, the location delivers an enviable coastal lifestyle within a suburb renowned for its elite schooling. A beautiful balcony captures treetop views across the gardens to the bay, while the flowing floorplan extends to expansive decks and lush rear gardens that wrap the home in privacy, creating a setting that captivates both heart and imagination. Behind a striking entry, three distinct living zones provide exceptional versatility, including a formal lounge with marble open fireplace and French doors opening to the rear gardens, and a generous dining/family domain that connects seamlessly to a sprawling entertaining deck framed by integrated bench seating. The exquisite kitchen is finished with granite benchtops that complement warm polished timber floors, appointed with a step-in pantry, Smeg oven and five-burner cooktop, Miele dishwasher, large breakfast island and a charming garden outlook through multi-paned sash windows. A grand staircase carries you up to three bedrooms which include an extra-large parent's bedroom with a fireplace and direct access to a two-way ensuite bathroom with double shower and a bath, while the wide landing has concertina doors to a balcony with a bay view that is a beautiful spot to escape for sunset drinks. An open plan study on the lower level is set in the heart of the home beside a second bathroom that cleverly integrates laundry facilities and opens directly to the deck, providing convenient amenity for alfresco entertaining. Set on 884sqm (approx.), the home also includes ducted heating, heating panels, airconditioning, extensive awnings, solar power, remote-controlled double garage and adjoining workshop that would also serve well as a gym area.
