1 St James Crescent
Mount Eliza

Idyllically located in a tranquil pocket of Mt Eliza with rural vistas across Gunyung Creek Reserve and the former Ansett Estate, this solid-brick single-level classic 1970s three-bedroom family home is on the market for the first time in two generations, offering an outstanding opportunity to secure an entry-level beachside property to renovate or redevelop (STCA).

Located in the curve of the crescent, with an elevated westerly aspect facing the nature reserve and rural pastureland, the solidly built generously proportioned home has been designed for relaxed, low-maintenance living and entertaining. Well-maintained and cared for over the decades, the home’s original bathrooms, fixtures and fittings pay homage to the 1970s while the modernist layout stands the test of time with open plan living and dining zones, a central kitchen with updated appliances including a gas cook top, oven, and double dish-drawer dishwasher, and a dedicated bedroom/bathroom wing, which includes a master bedroom with walk-in robe and shower ensuite. Outstanding features include a Murano crystal chandelier in the unique living/rumpus room with timber-lined cathedral ceilings, and glass sliding doors opening to a balcony with verdant outlooks. There is a neatly paved rear garden, with an undercover alfresco area, and an established coastal-inspired front garden. Additional features include a garden shed, large laundry with external access, under-house storage, gas heating, a split system air conditioner, car port, and off-street parking.

On the edge of Mount Eliza’s green border, a short walk to Kunyung Primary School and Moondah Beach, this family-friendly location is just a few minutes’ drive to Mount Eliza Village, Mornington Main Street, and is close to transport and within easy reach of prestige schooling including Peninsula Grammar, Toorak College and Padua College.
