An idyllic marriage of classic and contemporary, designed to endure
Conjured into existence by the award-winning minds at Ewert Leaf, St George’s architecture is defined by both modern innovation and enduring elegance. Tactful design features, generously sized spaces and regard for the existing streetscape comprise a collection of residences of the very highest calibre.
Timeless, visually cohesive and dynamic, the St George façade presents a harmonious juxtaposition of heritage and revolutionary design elements. Modern linearity reflects the aesthetic of the precinct, enabling the stylish set of homes to blend effortlessly with the iconic streetscapes of Elsternwick. The use of bricks, concrete and timber across the façade pay homage to the Edwardian Period - an era at the very heart of architecture in this part of Melbourne.
The St George collection is comprised of 10 expansive apartments, each living room graced with generous dual aspect windows. This feature enables ample lighting to bathe the sophisticated indoors, also providing cross ventilation throughout. A halo of greenery adorns the residences, with skilful landscaping making for verdant pockets of paradise.

“The architecture is comprised of modern, clean lines that reference materiality found in the Elsternwick heritage precinct. The use of bricks, concrete and timber is synonymous with the Edwardian period, enabling the architecture to seamlessly synthesise into the streetscape.”

Comfort fuses with opulence and luxury, surpassing all standards of liveability
Within St George’s walls exist refined and sophisticated interiors, designed for the utmost liveability. Ingeniously conceived by the Ewert Leaf team, the residence’s interiors cover all bases, from practicality to luxury – the effect being a truly immaculate place to call home.
Considered materiality is showcased through St George’s interiors, making for a rich palette of finishes that breathe life into every room. Joinery with lacquered timber veneer finishes establishes a sophisticated and opulent base – themes definitive of this elegant set of homes. This modern feature is complemented by natural super white marble, embellishing the designs of the kitchen, living and bathroom areas.
Whilst the sun kisses living areas in St George, thoughtfully placed architectural light fittings enable luminosity at all times of day. Tranquillity is found within St George’s bathrooms, sanctuaries of practicality and retreat awarded with chic porcelain tiles, plentiful storage and abundant natural night. This is matched with plush bedrooms, where luxury and comfort are equally paramount.

Emerald City
A suburb laced by the seaside and carpeted by fields of plush, emerald parklands, Elsternwick has long been sought out by those who crave both the luxury of the urban, but find delight in being surrounded by nature.
When you look at a map of Elsternwick from above, your eye is almost overwhelmed by the vast pockets of greenery that blanket the suburb. Housing verdant stretches of lush parklands, all veiled by canopies of leafy treetops, wherever your gaze falls discovers another hue of green. This preoccupation with the natural wonders can be traced back to the suburb’s famed Ripponlea House and Gardens. A relic of a time begotten, today the historic mansion still
holds its grandeur amongst the most exquisitely manicured gardens. This same sense of grand serenity, though sewn within the very fabric of Elsternwick’s community, is perhaps most profound in the various public greenspaces that punctuate the landscape; from the Elsternwick, Harleston, or Hopetoun Parks, through to the local golf course, you will never be lost for a pocket of sublime wonder to reconnect with nature.

While there has always existed a preoccupation with fresh, quality dining within the community - Attica has time and time again sat at the helm of World’s Best Dining lists - with the emergence of some innovative new players to the local foodie scene, you don’t have to wander too far from your doorstep to find yourself a hedonistic temptation. A mixed-bag of cuisines; if you awake with an unabating urge for some traditional Vietnamese-styled congee - flaked with smoked ocean trout and drizzled with chilli oil
- Bang Bang awaits; after a big bowl of cloud like pillows of gnocchi topped with 20-hour braised lamb rib Ragù? 48 Hours Pizza and Gnocchi has got you covered; if, however, it’s the perfect hangover cure you’re looking for, look no further than Hanoi Hannah’s very own Bloody Mary. Made from the plumpest tomatoes and laced with just the right amount of booze, the cherry on top of this bad boy, is the perfectly fried trio of spring rolls that sit atop. Did anyone say ‘hair of the dog?’.
Indebted to the culinary craze that has swept our fair city - and what has placed Melbourne on the world’s stage for gastronomical delights - Elsternwick and its surrounds have remained at the forefront of this foodie movement, offering locals an enviable dining scene defined by the interplay of new and old, casual and formal and local and global.

Cultural Hub
When the daily grind is defined by a community that places a shared emphasis on comfort as well as convenience, those small, about town errands become a joy to toil over. From stocking your pantry, filling a vase, finding a new frock, or even just the monotony of getting from A-to-B, here the journey is as equally memorable as the destination.
A cultural epicentre where tensions between tradition and modernity are played out and the parallels between natural and man-made are embraced, Elsternwick’s local community finds as much solace in the beautifully crafted spaces of the Classic Cinema as the sun-drenched sands of the nearby Elwood Beach. Though not known for its retail prowess, much like its other amenities, what Elsternwick lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. A haze of delicate hues and vibrant pops of colour are accompanied by the intoxicating perfume of sweet florals, enveloping your senses as you are carried into the beauty
that is Simeon’s Florist. After selecting a rambling bunch of blooms, continue the aesthetic journey in Camellia Boutique, where the racks abound with delicate fabrics designed to add an air of sartorial edge to any occasion. This commitment to excellence is similarly witnessed throughout the community’s public amenities, where ease and convenience are second to none - including the web of transport opportunities that thread their way to-and-from the city and beyond, making the opportunity for escape as simple as meandering your way to one of the many points of departure the locale affords.
