C&G Strolls: Life at 13 Gordon Avenue
Who doesn’t love a stroll? Being in walking distance to the places and people we love is so important to a happy existence – which is why C&G are bringing you our new ‘Strolls’ series – focusing on the lifestyle you’ll enjoy when you live in a particular home we are marketing for sale. Being close to amenities, schools and points of interest are not only of value to you, the dweller, but they also add to the value of your home. Today, C&G take you on a stroll starting at a beautiful residence in Elwood so you can better daydream about making it your own.
Today’s property is 13 Gordon Avenue in the heart of Elwood. With its Edwardian style, BBQ entertaining area and quaint veggie patch, this two bedroom property is just waiting for a young family to make their mark. With that in mind, here’s what’s on within a brief stroll from your door …
One of the first things people look for when assessing a property is transport links. Gordon Avenue is within ten minutes walking distance of Ripponlea metro station, with access to the city via the Sandringham line. A short walk up Byron Street will take you to the tram stops accessing the city via route 67, with interchanges with route 78 nearby.
A short walk along Mitford Street will take you to Elwood Primary School and Elwood College, providing excellent potential for young families to fall within the required catchment for high calibre education institutions. The pleasant walk to the schools provides a safe way for your children to get to school, without relying on public transport.
A range of dining amenities fall at your feet on both Tennyson Street and Brighton Road. The Grosvenor Hotel’s bistro setting offers a fantastic steak night, while the award winning Curry Leaf Café and Iliana Pizza both provide dine in and takeaway options. For brunchers, Presse Café and Wine Bar offers a diverse menu all day until late. You won’t be stuck for nearby eateries at this Elwood location.
For young families with children and pets, green space is a must. The property itself backs on to Clarke Reserve, while School Park is a short stroll away. If you’re a tennis lover, stretch your legs to a twelve minute journey and you’ll get to Elsternwick Park Tennis Centre. For all ages and abilities, the club is a great way to get fit and meet members of the local community.
