19/91 Ormond Esplanade, ElwoodVIC3184

In the sought-after Golden Mile, high within the landmark mid-century-modern Pine Gate by Sir Bernard Evans, this one-bedroom apartment channels Elwood’s magnetic beachside lifestyle with a location that’s truly second to none. With the foreshore and park directly across the street, your mornings start with salt air and sand, while evenings can be spent dining at Elwood Bathers or wandering the village for cocktails, coffee and conversation.

Generously proportioned and brimming with light, the layout flows with an easy sense of connection. The large bedroom offers built-in robes and oversized windows, and the central modernised bathroom incorporates laundry facilities and a shower-over-bath. The kitchen opens to the living area to create a natural gathering point, featuring a freestanding gas stove and ample storage, while the hallmark sash windows of Pine Gate bring in treetop outlooks and a shifting light that fuels the calm, elevated feel.

Beyond the front door, manicured communal gardens and the beach across the road deliver an enticing extension of this carefree address, where sweeping sunsets from Ormond Point and morning runs along the esplanade are only moments away. Public transport links to the CBD are close by, and the village’s mix of cafes, wine bars, wellness studios and boutiques adds to the daily excellence. A rare opportunity within an architectural icon, this is a lifestyle investment with instant appeal, an astute portfolio addition, or the perfect step into a coveted beachside pocket.
