1/46 Foam Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

On Elwood’s Golden Mile, and every bit as good as that sounds, this ground-floor renovated apartment serves up secure, sunlit living with the beach at one end of the street and the village at the other. Set within a quiet boutique block behind automated gates, it’s an enticing mix of privacy, lifestyle and low-maintenance ease, complete with intercom entry and private parking. Whether it’s crisp swims in the bay, a lazy Sunday at a wine bar or a quick dash down the street for coffee and a croissant, this spot puts you in reach of everything that makes this pocket impossible to beat.

Northern light and hardwood floors enhance the open-plan living and dining zones, while the subtle-blue tiled kitchen adds a designer flair with stone benchtops, quality appliances, and a functional layout that works well day-to-day. Two generous bedrooms feature built-in robes, with the main stepping straight onto a high-fenced decked courtyard, which is a sensational suntrap offering an idyllic setting for morning coffees or an easy afternoon under the Plane tree canopy with friends. The bathroom carries the same chic aesthetic with brushed gold tapware, a neutral palette and laundry facilities, whilst features include split-system air conditioning, instant hot water and Tasmanian Oak flooring underfoot. 

Ideal as a city-edge beachside base, a smart buy or a savvy downsizer’s move, it’s walk-anywhere address and stylish upgrades will have you hooked, with every local favourite within minutes, from Ormond Road’s cafes and dining options to the foreshore trail, Elsternwick Park and city-bound transport.
