1 Elbena Grove, Carnegie

A fixture on this quiet street since the late 1930s, this beautiful Art Deco home combines the grace of the era with the space and lifestyle demanded by today’s families.

Set behind an established garden alive with colour, the home features the classic half brick/half stucco façade, then once through the arched porch, the textural walls continue this time adorned by picture rails and rising up to meet gloriously decorative ceilings. Warm timber floors flow from the entrance to the formal lounge with a roaring open fireplace, a feature which is found in the adjacent dining room which could equally be a fourth bedroom or study as required.

Right at the heart is a light and bright stone kitchen with a Bosch dishwasher and freestanding 900mm Smeg oven, whilst set to the rear is a fabulous addition that houses an open plan entertaining zone and family room. Full-height doors and windows here capture streams of natural light and the wet bar area with a second dishwasher is perfect for those who love to host. Outside, the alfresco deck is sheltered and private, offering more space to gather or relax, it is also accessed from the tranquil master which features twin robes and a luxe fully tiled ensuite with spa bath.

Two further bedrooms are offered in the original part of the home sharing a skylit bathroom - a laundry and generous storeroom plus ducted heating, two split systems and 3kw solar panels are on a list of practicalities. With a lock-up garage and driveway parking for two cars, this character-filled setting on 523sqm (approx) is an easy walk to trains & buses and within moments of restaurants and Chadstone Shopping Centre.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
