Between the energy of Acland Street, the Esplanade and Carlisle Street’s local hotspots, this entirely transformed, single-level Edwardian gem feels right at home in one of St Kilda’s most-loved pockets. Set back from the action, the one-way street keeps things calm, yet everything you need is an easy stroll away, from a quick tram into the city to lazy days on the beach.
Rebuilt from the ground up, it retains the charm of its original era through leadlight windows and high ceilings, perfectly catching the sun in both generous bedrooms, with the main also offering a walk-in robe that can double as a study nook. The central bathroom sits close by, thoughtfully updated with a clean, modern look, whilst towards the rear, living and dining transition with ease to the Smeg-appointed stone kitchen, continuing through to a private north-west courtyard that captures the late sun, bordered by low-maintenance gardens for a relaxed outdoor backdrop.
A European laundry, double glazing, split-system air conditioning, alarm and CCTV form an outstanding, no-fuss base right in the heart of it all, with city-bound trams, popular cafés, supermarkets and the beach all moments away, capturing that idyllic St Kilda lifestyle without compromising on style.
