53 Eliza Street Black Rock

Positioned for sun and sea-breezes on the northside of this iconic Golden Triangle address, this grand brick Edwardian combines the breathtaking beauty of yesterday with today’s beachside, poolside family living.

Beautifully accommodating with up to five bedrooms, two bathrooms and the three living zones that modern families love, this substantial c.1910 home unfolds with a traditional formal lounge facing high-fenced front gardens, expansive family living flowing to pool-view family zone and wisteria-draped veranda, and a lofty central lounge at the heart of the 1st floor. Built with the grandest dimensions and finest detail of the era, this enchanting Edwardian home accommodates a growing family with a choice of master upstairs and down, a timeless marble-finished bathroom on each level, and a library-fitted home-office to double as a spacious fifth bedroom.

Centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned with a gracious granite kitchen featuring Ilve and Miele appliances, the home offers an entertaining poolside life against a backdrop of rare pressed-metal dado-panelling, lavish leadlight and authentic timber floors. With a welcoming fireplace for almost every ground-floor room (gas-fired for the family zone), there are lofty ceilings extending to a soaring vaulted roofline with openable Velux skylights for the upper level.

Immensely private in auto-gated grounds, the property stretches deep to a northerly rear with a path through a ‘secret’ side garden opening into a ‘suntrap’ pool garden wrapped by towering hedges. With a sophisticated water-feature pool wrapped by seamless paving, there’s endless entertaining with a plumbed, granite-topped BBQ kitchen...plus double-capacity solar pool-heating for endless swim-ability across the seasons.

A minute to booming Black Rock village at one of the Golden Triangle’s most highly-prized addresses, this exceptional Edwardian is just 400m to the Red Bluff clifftops and the path to Half Moon Bay, a few doors to Tricks Reserve (and a walk through to Black Rock Primary School), and around the corner to the bus to Sandringham station and the Mentone and Brighton schools.
