This architect designed three-bedroom, two-bathroom plus a study home offers family functionality and sophistication in what is arguably Elsternwicks best street.

Families with young children should revel in its position next to the hugely popular Harleston Park, while everyone will appreciate the flexible open plan living zones that create an entertainers paradise. Whether its a party for six or 60, this house offers unlimited entertainment prospects. In winter cosy up by the gas fireplace; in summer spill out onto the generous front deck or enjoy the indoor-outdoors of the rear garden, the choice is yours.

Updated by Kestie Lane Studio, with custom finishes and joinery, this deceptively spacious home has a calm, inviting aesthetic underpinned with finishes of timber and marble.

A vast high-ceiling, light-filled living and dining room with bespoke cabinetry includes a hidden Calacatta built-in bar. The kitchen also features Calacatta marble benches, including an island lit by overhead pendants, mirrored splash back, stainless steel appliances and fitted walk-in pantry. Clerestory windows let sunlight in, adding to the already open, airy interiors and leaving ample wall space for art. Wide European oak floorboards feature throughout the ground floor.

Carpeted stairs lead to the first floor where a fitted study can double as a childrens playroom. Two bedrooms, with built-in robes and served by a family bathroom, have access to generous balconies with park views creating an atmosphere of being at one with nature. The main bedroom, tucked away at the end of the hall, has an ensuite with double vanity, bath and shower and a balcony to enhance the views across to the park.

More features of this unique home include ducted heating, cooling, quality window fittings, including motorized external blinds, garage with internal access, powder room, and an unrivalled location only five minutes walk to Glenhuntly Shopping strip with easy access to Wesley College and Caulfield Grammar
