6/229 Brighton Road, Elwood

Dreams can come true at "Taradale", in the peace and privacy of a spacious, rear-of-block elevated apartment.

A charming entrance vestibule leads to the living room with its high ceilings, picture rails, working fireplace and generous windows offering restful tree and garden views. With no adjoining walls and a screen door off the kitchen onto the back landing, this north-facing apartment brings delightful sunshine year-round and cool cross breezes in the summer.

The main bedroom is huge; no other word for it. High decorative ceilings and a full height built in wardrobe caters for all who have an overwhelming collection of …. anything. An adjoining sun room offers yet more light and space for a study. Polished hardwood floors throughout invite bare feet or soft rugs. Or both.

The second bedroom is a good double size and the bathroom is art deco style with a tub, pedestal basin and separate toilet. There's a separate washing machine and dryer space next to (but not in) the bathroom and washing lines downstairs at the back for open air drying,

On the next street corner you'll find Tennyson Street's cafes, IGA, chemist and the King of Tonga wine bar. Elsternwick Park and Ormond Road's specialty shopping, excellent restaurants and cafes are within an easy walk.

Did we mention there's covered off-street parking on title? We're mentioning it now. But as the 67 tram is literally at your door and Ripponlea and Elsternwick train stations are only minutes away, you might just forget about the car.

Oh, and there's a communal rooftop offering 360 degree views of the bay and the city. Nice.
