Freestanding and screened from the street by tall fencing and auto gates, this sublime, solid-brick Edwardian residence opens to a peaceful environment that feels far removed from its lively St Kilda setting. Northwest light enriches the interior and outdoor areas, while the wide 18m frontage and substantial allotment enhance its appeal for now and the future, within walking distance to the best of the area, including cafés, bars, restaurants, Albert Park Lake and trams to every direction of Melbourne.
Original height and proportion give the layout an uplifting quality, flowing from the central corridor to a spacious living and dining domain that carries abundant light. The adjoining kitchen features European appliances, a concrete breakfast bench and bi-fold servery windows that open straight to the deck for relaxed outdoor meals. Large sliding doors extend the living space further, revealing a sheltered terrace and low-maintenance garden that wraps around and captures the sun from morning to late afternoon. Three expansive bedrooms accompany the refurbished bathroom and laundry with an additional powder room. An extensive attic offers potential to build higher (STCA).
The address delivers an enviable St Kilda lifestyle, steps from multiple tram routes, light rail, Carlisle, Acland and Fitzroy Street dining precincts, and landmark beachside attractions sit within moments, while zoning for respected local schools and proximity to leading independents complete an exceptional opportunity, with off-street parking for one, ducted heating, split-system air conditioning, security alarm, CCTV and video intercom.
