You may well ask where the internal photos are and I can assure you that they will be stunning as this fabulous property is in the final stages of a total refurbishment.

The stainless Ilve appliances in the kitchen are fit for a Masterchef and include gas hotplates and dishwasher.

The bathroom is luxurious with twin vanities and floor to ceiling tiling. Cabinet making and bench tops are first class and the detail, right down to light switches and LED lighting, is impressive.

Other desirable features include fully ducted, reverse cycle air conditioning, polished timber floors to the main living areas and you’ll love the large terracotta-tiled alfresco area, accessible from the main bedroom and living area, that overlooks the communal courtyard and entertaining area.

There’s secure undercover parking with storage, plus a huge storage cupboard under the stairs and better still, your own private entry.

The location is fantastic and central to all the delights of Elwood and St Kilda: Jerry’s cafe at the end of the street, The St Kilda Botanical Gardens, St Kilda Marina, public transport: (Brighton Road trams, 96 light rail, local bus service and Ripponlea train station), Elwood Village, the beach, The Elwood Bakery and Patisserie, Acland Street and too many other great places to list – this is better than Hollywood!

I would pick up the phone right now and arrange your private viewing before the owner decides to commence an auction campaign…

Suit $700,000 plus buyers.
