Perfectly located directly opposite the picturesque St Kilda Botanical Gardens, this solid brick two-bedroom apartment in a boutique block offers an outlook of established greenery, mid-century charm and a peaceful parkside position, just moments from the very best of bayside living.
The layout is well considered and thoughtfully zoned, with the two bedrooms positioned at opposite ends of a wide entry hall for excellent separation and privacy. Both well-proportioned bedrooms face north, capture wonderful natural light, and are fitted with built-in robes. The second bedroom offers valuable flexibility as a guest room or a study, ideal for those working from home.
The oversized living and dining area is a true highlight of the floorplan, opening directly onto a balcony overlooking the block's own central courtyard garden, an inviting alfresco retreat. A large, well-appointed kitchen with a meals area offers ample bench and storage, perfectly suited to everyday cooking and effortless entertaining.
Practical features abound, including storage options, a central bathroom with separate bath and shower, a dedicated laundry and a powder room. Heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort, while a coveted covered car space adds a rare and welcome convenience to apartment living. The apartment also presents an excellent opportunity to renovate and add further value, whether updating to taste or enhancing its original mid-century appeal.
Location is a defining feature of this address. Acland Street's popular cafes and famed cake shops, St Kilda Beach and the marina are all within an easy and enjoyable walk, along with the village atmosphere of Elwood and the eateries of Carlisle Street. Trams on Brighton Road and Acland Street provide direct access into the city, with Ripponlea and Balaclava train stations also close by. A range of well-regarded schools and childcare centres are within comfortable walking distance.
This is an outstanding opportunity to secure a well-positioned apartment in one of Melbourne's most sought-after bayside pockets, opposite the tranquillity of the Botanical Gardens and within easy reach of everything St Kilda and Elwood have to offer.
