In the heart of Elwood’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 suburb’s best family homes.

Conceived by the renowned architectural firm Hayball and constructed by Hickory Group, it’s situated on a generously proportioned 1,142m² north-facing block. While the front of the home presents as a not uncommon Federation façade brick home, the exposed angular concrete around the entrance to the basement gives a hint at what lies beyond.
