Award-Winning Architecture | Elwood’s Golden Mile
Occupying an exclusive beachfront position on Elwood’s Golden Mile, this award-winning residence, designed and built by Judd Lysenko Marshall Architects, is a remarkable achievement in contemporary coastal design. Its distinctive spotted gum exterior and signature porthole windows have made it one of the area's most recognisable architectural homes, with spectacular bay views, northern poolside gardens and an innovative multi-level design giving equal consideration to waterfront outlooks and absolute privacy.
A central open staircase connects the principal living areas, with full-height glazing at ground level opening to landscaped gardens, a heated plunge pool, an outdoor shower, and a sheltered al-fresco terrace with an automated awning and an Australian-made Tait outdoor kitchen, complete with BBQ, sink, and fridge. Expansive living and dining areas capture uninterrupted bay vistas and magnificent sunsets from the upper level, maximising the entertainer’s footprint well beyond the gardens, with a beautifully appointed stone kitchen featuring premium appliances, an integrated Bosch espresso machine, Zip HydroTap, a wine display cellar, and a state-of-the-art NZ electric fireplace. An external staircase links the upper balcony directly to the garden, letting entertaining extend across both levels, while the uppermost floor is devoted to a private main bedroom suite, preceded by a fitted study and gallery, with extraordinary views across the bay. Three further bedrooms, including separate ground-floor guest accommodation, are complemented by a dedicated home office, library retreat, family bathroom and powder room.
Spotted gum and polished concrete flooring, 100% NZ wool carpets, and double glazing reflect the original architectural vision, supported by electric blinds, refrigerated heating and air conditioning, and integrated indoor-outdoor audio. Comprehensive appointments also include solar power, Bosch security, CCTV, an expansive attic with internal stair access, motorised entry gates and EV charging infrastructure, with secure parking for four vehicles, including a double garage, plus two additional on-street parking permits. Directly opposite the beachfront reserve, mere steps from the sand, and moments from Ormond Road's restaurants, cafés and boutiques, Elsternwick Park and city-bound transport, this landmark address also offers excellent access to Brighton's prestigious schools, including Firbank and Brighton Grammar.
