8 Woodland Avenue

Capturing an extraordinary vantage across Port Phillip Bay, and offering privileged private access to prestigious Toorak College, this four-bedroom coastal sanctuary defines an elevated expression of luxury living on Mount Eliza's coveted Golden Mile. Framed by exquisitely curated gardens and conceived with a rare sense of scale and ease, the residence unfolds as a private family haven where considered design, generous proportions and seamless indoor-outdoor living exist in quiet harmony. Just a leisurely five-minute stroll to the beach and moments from the Village, it offers an effortless balance of coastal tranquillity and everyday convenience. A timeless contemporary façade offers only a restrained introduction to what lies within, where a warm coastal sensibility is immediately felt. Oak flooring grounds the interiors, while double-glazed aluminium windows, electric blinds and sheer floor-to-ceiling drapery soften light and texture, drawing inspiration from the surrounding shoreline palette. A grand entry foyer makes a striking first impression, defined by a sculptural sweeping curved staircase that rises with architectural grace and sets a compelling sense of arrival. This is a home that understands proportion and theatre in equal measure, where volume and light are carefully orchestrated to create an enduring sense of calm sophistication. From here, the upper level is devoted to the extraordinary bay outlook. The master suite is conceived as a private retreat, complete with a dressing room, luxe ensuite and direct connection to an undercover alfresco terrace where uninterrupted views stretch across Port Phillip Bay to the You Yangs and the Mornington Yacht Club. A fourth bedroom or secondary retreat continues this visual dialogue, capturing the same mesmerising horizon. The ground level unfolds as a sequence of beautifully connected living spaces, each enriched by natural light filtering through expansive north-facing glazing and framed by established Silver Birch trees and a dramatic stone feature wall. The family living zone is anchored by a gas fireplace encased in natural stone, flowing effortlessly into a refined granite kitchen appointed with premium appliances and a generous butler's pantry. Beyond, dual sliding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening to an exceptional all-season alfresco pavilion. Timber-lined and fully equipped for year-round entertaining, it features a built-in BBQ, three-door wine fridge, wood-fired Coonara, integrated television and radiant strip heating, creating an atmosphere equally suited to intimate evenings or large-scale entertaining. A tiered sundeck rises to a sunlit dining terrace, inviting visions of a future poolside transformation within the surrounding landscape. Accommodation on this level includes two additional bedrooms, an elegantly updated family bathroom finished in micro cement and brushed brass tapware, a refined powder room, and a spacious laundry complete with drying cabinet. Further appointments include reverse-cycle heating and cooling to each bedroom, ducted heating, integrated security cameras and internal access to a double remote garage. A rare Golden Mile residence where architectural refinement, coastal beauty and contemporary comfort converge, offering a lifestyle defined by light, outlook and understated luxury.
