In Melbourne’s Bayside District, Scott and Alex Pendlebury Discover Their Ideal Renovation Project.

Scott and Alex Pendlebury have finally located their upcoming remodeling project—a delightful home situated in Melbourne’s highly sought-after Bayside neighborhood—after a protracted two-year search.

The house, which includes a pool and tennis court, was recently purchased by Scott, a Collingwood champion, and his wife Alex, a nutritionist and presenter, for an unknown sum that is estimated to be over $7 miℓℓio𝚗.

They sold their former house in Elwood, which they had constructed themselves, and moved into their new house last week with their kids Darcy and Jax and their beloved Golden Retriever named Lenni.

Alex claims that after finishing the renovations at their former home and Williamstown and Albert Park, they started looking for the next job not long after.

Alex said, “We wɑntеd to renovate; we didn’t want to build again.” For our most recent project, we intentionally searched for an older home with solid structural underpinnings.

A split-level formal lounge room, a dining area, a games room by the pool with a wet bar, and several other tempting features can be found in the newly acquired five-bedroom home.

Scott’s memories of his boyhood in the country, and Alex’s liking for the house’s surroundings, which included the lovely hedges and palm trees, which brought back memories of her upbringing in the green northeastern Melbourne suburb of Research. We were enthralled by the property’s charm and saw tremendous potential in it, she continued.

Before completing their restoration plans, the Pendleburys want to live in the house for about six months. The structural integrity of the house will be maintained even as the interior is modernized, according to Alex.

Despite not knowing anything about the history of the property, they learned that it was constructed before 1985 and had been abandoned for five years before they bought it. “It seemed destined for demolition, but we were thrilled to save it,” said Alex.

The bigger backyard compared to their previous Elwood home particularly excites the younger Jax, and Scott is anxiously anticipating adding a basketball hoop. Jax loves having extra room to play in the backyard, Alex remarked. And Scott wants to play basketball and tennis with his mates.

Joel Fredman, the director of Fredman Property Group, along with Nick Sinclair and Paul Bond from Hodges Sandringham, who handled the listing, sold the Pendleburys’ Elwood house for $6.5 miℓℓio𝚗.
