Eco-conscious luxury with a private backyard vibe

Steps from Elwood’s vibrant coffee culture, shops and restaurants, with the beach a few minutes’ walk away, this ground-floor apartment in ‘Elwood Green’ hits the perfect balance – close enough to dive into St Kilda’s energy or Ripponlea’s charming village atmosphere and station, while claiming a peaceful setting at the complex’s quiet rear.

Inside, the layout flows from the entry through to the bright, open-plan living and dining room. The sleek kitchen is equipped with Miele cooking precision and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, complemented by a bedroom fitted with built-in robes, a designer bathroom and a European laundry.

What sets this home apart is its unexpectedly generous private courtyard. This decked retreat, framed by timber panels and greenery, transforms into an outdoor room for lazy afternoons or summer gatherings. Full-length sliding doors dissolve the boundary between in and out, making the space feel almost twice as large.

The industrial-luxe aesthetic leaves a lasting impression – concrete ceilings adds architectural intrigue, black track lighting injects bold drama, and rich timber veneer cabinetry brings organic warmth to the overall palette. Forward-thinking features complete the package, with solar heating and power contributing to a 6-star energy rating, along with ducted climate control, video intercom, and secure basement parking for everyday ease.
