63 Foam Street
Elwood

Impeccably positioned in a coveted blue-chip locale, just two doors to Elwood Park and the foreshore, this standalone 1930s classic brick four-bedroom California Bungalow on 596sqm* has been beautifully maintained and updated, offering character-filled family living over two levels including formal, informal, and alfresco zones.

With architectural and decorative characteristics referencing California Bungalow, Spanish Mission and Art Deco styles, the two storey home is resplendent with ornate plasterwork, pressed metal ceilings, stained glass leadlight windows, sweeping archways, and intricately carved timber fireplace surrounds. A traditional tessellated-tiled front verandah gets plenty of afternoon sun, and a chequerboard tiled entry hall introduces the classic interiors with high ceilings adorned with architraves and roses, and polished hardwood flooring. The ground floor layout comprises a formal living/dining room at the front with an original fireplace, the main bedroom with a box bay window with garden outlooks and built-in robes, a second bedroom with built-in robes, updated traditional-style bathroom, and the living/dining and kitchen which is equipped with an Electrolux gas cooktop, Bosch oven and Asko dishwasher. Upstairs there are a further two bedrooms, with sloped attic ceilings and built-in robes, the main bathroom with a built-in tub, and a living area/retreat with study nook. Outside is a broad undercover paved patio, and access to the laundry/powder room, while the rear garden has extensive paved areas including a barbecue area, a large lawn with a feature Ash tree, and landscaped borders of Ornamental Pears. There is also a converted garage/shed, a carport and off-street parking for an additional three vehicles, gas ducted heating and air-conditioning.

In an enviable, blue-chip location, with Elwood beach and foreshore parkland just steps away and Ormond Road Village at the end of the street, it is also close to Elsternwick Park, Glen Huntly Road shopping, restaurants, and public transport.
