With its dramatic arches, striking façade and grand staircase, this handsome Art Deco boutique block knows how to make an entrance. And the apartment inside certainly holds its own. Big on proportions, rich in original character and cleverly renovated where it counts, it's a terrific mix of 20th-century architecture and modern-day living.
Its old-world charm has been treated with respect throughout. Ornate plaster ceilings and decorative centrepieces crown the rooms, warm floorboards run from end to end, and the arched glass doors are exactly the kind of detail people go looking for in a period home. The living room is wonderfully generous and full of natural light, with split-system air conditioning and a pair of those beautiful doors swinging open to the kitchen and dining area.
The kitchen has been completely transformed. A sweeping arched window frames leafy views beside the meals area, while crisp white cabinetry, soft grey overheads, subway tiling and a freestanding stainless steel gas cooker complete the smart contemporary fit-out.
The main bedroom is a standout, with a painted brick fireplace and built-in robes, while the second bedroom is bright and well proportioned. The bathroom has had the same stylish makeover, finished in gleaming white tiles and terrazzo-look flooring, with a wall-hung vanity, mirrored cabinetry and a rain showerhead over the bath.
Fitzroy Street and Acland Street are an easy stroll away in either direction, so the restaurants, cafés, bars and those famous cake shop windows are right there whenever you want them. The beach, the Espy and the Sunday Esplanade Market are all within walking distance, with Luna Park and Albert Park Lake close by and trams on Brighton Road keeping the city within easy reach.
A slice of St Kilda's history, all the modern comforts and a location with a personality to match.
