In the heart of Elwoodโ€™s prestigious Golden Mile, 9 Bendigo Avenue, Elwood, is a masterpiece that articulately melds architectural past and present. Just a few minutes walk from the glimmering sands of the bayside beach, timeless red-brick elegance and contemporary concrete sophistication come together in one of the suburbโ€™s best family homes.

Conceived by the renowned architectural firm Hayball and constructed by Hickory Group, itโ€™s situated on a generously proportioned 1,142mยฒ north-facing block. While the front of the home presents as a not uncommon Federation faรงade brick home, the exposed angular concrete around the entrance to the basement gives a hint at what lies beyond.
