Three generous bedrooms include a magnificent garden-fronted main bedroom with a bay window and ornate fireplace, along with two additional bedrooms with built-in robes and two bathrooms, including the renovated rear bathroom with bath and an adjoining laundry opening directly onto the deck. Complete with ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, plantation shutters and garden irrigation, this charismatic solid-brick Edwardian is an undeniable lifestyle winner, positioned within moments of excellent schools, the 96 tram, St Kilda Marina and a vibrant selection of beachfront dining and cafes.
