Five apartments remain for sale in Keystone's Ensemble, Elwood development

<html><body>
The boutique development Foam Street in the Bayside Melbourne suburb of Elwood has secured sales of nearly half of its apartments at its recent launch.

Developer Goldfields has seen demand coming from an emerging market which have been dubbed "Baychangers."

Goldfields chief operating officer Lachlan Thompson said five of the project’s twelve boutique apartments had already been snapped by buyers up on the first few days of the sales campaign.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31641]

“The Elwood brand is one of the strongest in Melbourne, especially for buyers looking to downsize to a smaller and more convenient home in a vibrant community that offers exciting lifestyle and entertainment options,” Thompson said.

“As a result, the supply of low-maintenance luxury apartments in Elwood’s established property market is far outweighed by demand, with many looking to alternatives, such as boutique new developments, like Foam Street, Elwood.

“These buyers are looking shorten and simplify the homebuying process and avoid the frustration associated with the existing property market.

“They want to live ‘life after the family home’ somewhere with a little more ‘soul,’ somewhere more intimate and personal; the type of place where you know your neighbours by their first name.”

Jackson Clements Burrows designed the development of two and three bedroom apartments in conjunction with Studio Tate.

“FOAM STREET apartments are designed to be entirely of their place – reflecting and complementing the street’s vernacular – thus creating a discerning identity within their environment. Each dwelling offers expansive living areas, private outdoor spaces and enduring finishes," Tim Jackson, director at Jackson Clements Burrows said.

The project sits in landscaped surrounds designed by Eckersley Garden Architecture.

The Agency's Michael Paproth said, as well as demand from locals who want to remain in the area, there is a rapidly emerging market of buyers from outside the broader Bayside area.

“Baychangers tend to be semi-retired or retired professionals, typically from the inner-eastern suburbs, whose children have started their own families, and who are looking for a lifestyle change, but without the distance associated with a treechange or seachange," Paproth said.

“Despite being right next door to each other, the Bayside and inner east can be quite different in terms of community, culture and lifestyle."

Actress Asher Keddie, and her Archibald Prize-winning husband Vincent Fantauzzo, have sold their Elwood home within the asking price range of $2.75 million and $2.85 million.
Marshall White Bayside partner Matthew Pillios confirmed the private treaty sale of the Edwardian-style home, but would not comment on the sale price.
The Milton Street home was owned by the couple for five years.
They listed it for sale in February.
They had snapped up the property in 2015 for $2.061 million, records show.
In February Mr Pillios said areas of the Edwardian-style home, including the kitchen, had been meticulously renovated with one of the four bedrooms converted to an art studio where Fantauzzo painted.
Fantauzzo’s art was displayed in the home including portraits of Keddie and actor Heath Ledger, who passed away in 2008.
Keddie is best known for her role as Dr Nina Proudman in the TV series Offspring, which concluded in 2017.
She is now starring in a new ABC and Netflix series Stateless, based around the story of German-Australian woman Cornelia Rau and the Australian detention centre in which she was detained.
It’s not the first time Keddie and Fantauzzo have sold a property in Victoria. The couple offloaded their 40-hectare property Ravenswood in 2017, at the peak of Melbourne’s market.
The property, which was their country retreat in Romsey Road, Hesket, sold for $2.1 million.

Gryphon House, an Elwood home modelled on a mythical beast, has sold for $3.68 million after 76 bids at weekend auction.
It sold for $360,000 over reserve through McGrath St Kilda agents Christine Ford and Josh Stirling.
Designed by architect Simon Thornton around a decade ago, the home has a lion's tail shaped chimney, solar panels resembling eagle feathers and a top floor meditation space in the shape of a griffin's head.
His idea for the design of the home came to him in the middle of the night.

He added it to the existing red brick Edwardian.
It now comes with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a music room and two large entertaining decks on its 328 sqm parcel.
Since the design it has been heritage protected by the City of Port Phillip.
A local couple bought the house, hoping their grandchildren would like it.
