21 Coonara Avenue
Mount Eliza

Uniquely positioned with two street frontages, (21 Coonara Ave & 10 Torina Crt) this classic Palm Springs-inspired 70s family home on a large beachside block of more than 1000 square metres (approx.) offers the space and scope for subdivision (STCA), redevelopment (STCA), renovation (STCA), or simply move right in and celebrate its retro heritage.

A testament to the exceptional design and build quality of renowned Melbourne architect Avi Milder, the solid brick, single level circa 1978 home is in near original condition, yet full of character in terms of the modernist inspired style. Designed to view the pool (salt & solar heated) from multiple aspects, the brick and timber rich interior features vaulted ceilings over an architectural void while large windows and skylights allow natural light to flood the interior. The custom timber cabinetry and shelving in most rooms shows incredible workmanship, and the hydronic heating has also stood the test of time.

Zoned for the utmost in modern family living and entertaining, the layout comprises of a master bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom, built-in robes and dressing room at one end of the home, while at the other end are three fully fitted bedrooms, kids retreat and family bathroom. The central, main living room has a feature brick open fireplace, and looks out to the poolside entertaining area, while the classic timber kitchen complete with St. George oven adjoins the family/meals area, which opens via sliding glass doors to the large covered alfresco dining zone. Other features include purpose-built wine cellar adjacent to the kitchen, laundry with exterior access to courtyard, utility/storage room with power, garden shed, and a huge north facing fully fenced backyard, with its own street frontage and address (10 Torina Court), which could potentially be subdivided and redeveloped (STCA).

In a unique location, spanning the ends of two tranquil courts, the home is close to Peninsula Grammar, Mt Eliza Secondary College and Mt Eliza Primary schools, plus bus stops at the end of the street and within walking distance to the vibrant Village to enjoy numerous cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and fashion boutiques.

If you can realise the potential from a unique opportunity, then don't miss this one.
