8 Tiuna Grove
Elwood

Presenting a breathtaking fusion of Victorian Italianate grandeur and contemporary architectural splendour set within glorious, landscaped gardens just metres from the beach, ‘Tiuna’, circa 1884, remains one of Elwood’s most coveted family estates. Privately set behind a high ivy-clad wall and automated wrought iron gates on 1018 square metres* the original five-bedroom mansion has been magnificently enhanced for modern indoor/outdoor living and entertaining with a light-filled architectural award-winning extension, alfresco decking, a fully tiled swimming pool, and a pool house/studio.

Rich in old-world glamour and grandeur, a marble-tiled iron lace-work verandah leads to the formal entry foyer where soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork, polished hardwood flooring and a sweeping central staircase illuminated by leadlight glass panels sets a wondrous scene. The original front reception rooms are currently configured as a formal lounge, dining, library and home-office, and are resplendent with original features including fireplaces, French doors to garden terraces, and bay windows. Connecting the original home and former stables is the industrial-inspired cedar extension by renowned architects JCB, a light-filled double-height central open-plan living, entertaining and culinary space that streams an abundance of northerly light through clerestory louvre windows and provides indoor/outdoor connectivity to the alfresco decks, the garden-edged swimming pool, and manicured gardens. The gourmet stone kitchen is equipped with Neff and Miele appliances, and the reclaimed former stables now house a large rumpus room that can be closed off with sliding barn-like doors, plus a bathroom ideal for poolside entertaining, and a laundry with outdoor access. The upper level contains the five bedrooms, all spacious with fitted robes, and three bathrooms, including the terrazzo tiled luxe ensuite to the lavish main bedroom, complete with a stunning crystal chandelier and bespoke cabinetry. Additional features include hydronic heating throughout, ducted cooling upstairs, a wine cellar, and a security system.

With Ormond Road’s cafes, restaurants, and boutiques just a few minutes’ walk away, easy transport to the city, and of course Elwood’s spectacular foreshore parkland and beachfront practically at your doorstep, this elite location offers an indulgent and privileged lifestyle.
