2/3-5 Daley Street, Elwood.

Behind the gate on a tree-lined street, a courtyard with palms, warm ochre walls and a fountain greets you on the way in. You could almost be on the Mediterranean, and this ground-floor apartment has a touch of that holiday vibe too. Inside, living, dining and kitchen open up as one generous, light-filled room with timber floors underfoot. The renovated kitchen anchors one end, with a breakfast bar, gas cooktop, dishwasher and long stretches of bench space for preparing meals. Glass doors run along the rear of the living area and slide back onto a private patio that’s a world of its own. Towering fronds and big leafy planters bask in the sunshine against a backdrop of stone and bamboo, giving it the lush, tucked-away feel of a tropical hideaway. It easily takes an outdoor table, a few pots of herbs and the barbecue. The two bedrooms sit on either side of the bathroom. Both have built-in robes, and the main bedroom opens straight onto the patio, so you wake up looking at greenery rather than a wall. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, with the laundry neatly hidden behind bi-fold doors. Split-system heating and cooling, intercom entry and a car space complete the package. Elwood Village is a short stroll for cafés, bakeries and neighbourhood wine bars, and Glen Huntly Road in Elsternwick adds the Classic Cinema, the Rippon Lea shops and Elsternwick station. Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve and Elsternwick Park are close by for runs and dog walks, and the Elwood Canal path takes you all the way to the sand at Elwood Beach and Point Ormond. Move in, unpack, and decide whether today is a beach day or a village day.
