Magnetic in design, lifestyle setting and north-facing excellence, this single-level, three-bedroom period home has been uplifted and revived for modern-day brilliance in a truly unbeatable St Kilda locale. Quietly positioned on the edge of St Kilda Botanical Gardens, just a stroll from the lively action of Acland Street and the foreshore precinct, it offers undeniable connection yet a peaceful disposition, settled within private, quiet gardens and made for indoor-outdoor living.
Original hardwood floors and soaring ceilings carry the romance of its 1920s origin, with exposed brickwork bringing an earthy texture, softly lit by integrated LEDs that come alive at night. One of three, the main bedroom brings a sense of theatre with its curved bay window, custom-made seat and statement wallpaper, connecting to a sunroom currently utilised as a home office, with an in-built desk and floor-to-ceiling storage framing leafy views.
A modern central bathroom with a two-way powder room precedes the rear domain, where the space opens up through an architectural-glazed curve that invites northern light across the open-plan living zone. High ceilings and exceptional entertaining appeal highlights the design, with a low-maintenance rear garden and deck offering an idyllic spot to settle in for long lunches under a draped foliage canopy. A surprise mezzanine offers a clever extra space ideal for a reading retreat, with access to the enormous attic, whilst the kitchen draws focus with its curved marble island, bespoke hardwood joinery and generous scale, designed for the avid host.
With hydronic heating, ceiling fans, partial double glazing, a European laundry, irrigation, an outdoor shower, a lockable bike shed with easy street access, and the hallmark tree house out front for the kids, it has all the right ingredients for turnkey living. And, with the beachside light rail, Carlisle Street and Brighton Road trams and the area’s iconic nightlife energy all within minutes, plus zoning for St Kilda Primary and Elwood College, this one hits the lifestyle sweet spot from every angle.
