In a peaceful, tree-lined pocket of St Kilda, this freestanding double fronted Edwardian c.1915, single-level sanctuary has been impeccably renovated to blend timeless elegance with modern luxury. The home's Beatrix Rowe-designed interior showcases bespoke joinery and marble finishes, soaring ceilings with designer lighting, and rich period details from leadlight windows to original fireplaces. A generous floor plan offers versatility for downsizers, professionals, and families alike, it offers four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living zones for easy entertaining and family comfort.
At the heart of the home overlooking established gardens is a light filled state-of-the-art V-Zug kitchen with induction cooktop, dual ovens and a warming drawer, complemented by a spacious butler's pantry. Every detail exudes quality - from the wide oak engineered floorboards, integrated appliances, to the comfort of hydronic heating and ducted aircon. The expansive rear living and dining area includes a leather banquette dining setting and flows through French doors to landscaped gardens (created by Defreist-Sapontsis and replanted by Amanda Oliver), where a large deck and bluestone patio set the scene for idyllic alfresco entertaining amid lush greenery. A totally separate large lounge room with designer oak and rattan joinery and fireplace complete the living spaces. An FTTP internet upgrade, wired internet, large, lined attic and garage mezzanine storage add further practicality. The remote-controlled garage (via rear lane frontage to Pumpkin Lane), plumbed BBQ facilities, automated irrigation and tank complete the outside amenities.
Situated directly opposite the lush Renfrey Gardens in a tightly held neighbourhood, this home offers incredible convenience and lifestyle. St Kilda Beach and Botanical Gardens are just a short stroll away, along with local cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and a monthly farmers' market. Excellent transport options within five minutes' walk include the 96-light rail, the 16 tram to Melbourne's top schools and CBD, and the bus along Punt Road to Richmond and beyond. Despite its convenience, the immediate environs are peaceful and community-focused, and this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of luxury St Kilda living period charm, modern comfort, and an unbeatable beachside location all in one.
