4 Lytton Street, ELWOOD VIC 3184

Hidden in a secret cul de sac just metres from the foreshore, this solid brick c.1905 cottage offers exciting potential to renovate (STCA) and create a state-of-the-art beachside home with an enviable Elwood lifestyle. Nestled in a picturesque period row on a deep 224sqm with rear ROW, largely original proportions retain their traditional high ceilings and rich period character in two bedrooms, one with original gas fireplace, the other with extensive built-in robes/storage. At the rear, an open living/dining room with original fireplace now featuring a gas heater is accompanied by a basic kitchen with meals domain, functional bathroom and dedicated laundry before undercover alfresco areas and a rear courtyard garden featuring outdoor WC, shed/storage and a lock up garage via the rear ROW. Other highlights include leadlight detailing, multiple skylights, solar panels and a front garden in a group of twelve original semi-detached homes. An ideal ground floor opening into a tightly held Elwood pocket with canal bike and walking paths at the end of the street, a short stroll to foreshore reserves and kilometers of Bay Trails and an easy walk to Elwood and St Kilda Beaches, St Kilda Botanic Gardens, Ormond Road cafes, Elwood Primary, Elwood College and buses.
