Subscribe to regular market updates. A landmark renovation undertaken by KMD Design architects has been carefully crafted to transform this classical, double-fronted Victorian residence into an utterly unique inner bayside home of the highest order. Wonderfully situated within metres of the waterfront, Victoria Avenue, city-bound transport and the Albert Park College, this is an ideal family residence with 4 bedrooms, a study and a flow from the traditional to the contemporary that is certain to tantalize the senses while inspiring the most discerning al fresco entertainers. At its heart, a showpiece kitchen and open-plan dining / living area is connected via 2 sets of concertina doors to a north-facing entertainers' deck and outdoor kitchen. Like nothing you've ever seen, however, the deck brilliantly conceals a pair of underground parking spaces that are remotely accessed from the rear. Marble-topped and arranged around a huge island bench, the kitchen is flawlessly equipped with a suite of Gaggenau appliances, exotic Red Heart Gum cabinetry, 3 Vintec wine fridges and a Butler's Pantry, whilst the living room is heated by a huge gas log fire. Parents will relish the luxurious indulgence of a master bedroom in which a hotel-style ensuite, huge built-in robes and a sunny balcony combine to offer rare indulgence. Meanwhile, a downstairs guest bedroom offers semi-ensuite access to a second bathroom and the remaining bedrooms are thoughtfully adjacent to the third bedroom. At the front of the home, a brilliant lounge tastefully blends contemporary appointments with the character of its original pressed metal ceilings, whilst a fully-fitted study offers another dimension to family life. As you'd expect in a home of this calibre, its thoughtful inclusions are almost endless, spanning from a brilliant light-well with a soothing water feature, to an inspired timber, glass and wrought iron staircase and to all the high technology comforts of video entry, an alarm, designer lighting throughout and remote blinds. Wander to a fabulous selection of local cafes, fine dining and bars, whilst the charms of the Gasworks Arts Park are also just around the corner from this blue ribbon location. 83 Danks Street Albert Park 62 Pickles Street Albert Park Albert Park Primary School Bridport Street Albert Park 40 Bay Street Port Melbourne Middle Park Primary School Richardson Street Middle Park Port Melbourne Primary School 415 Graham Street Port Melbourne Montague Continuing Education Centre 100 Montague Street South Melbourne Mac Robertson Girls High School 350-370 Kings Way Melbourne Victorian College Of The Arts Secondary School 57 Miles Street Southbank Melbourne Grammar School Melbourne Grammar School Domain Rd Melbourne St Kilda Park Primary School 68 Fitzroy Street St Kilda Christ Church Grammar School 677 Punt Road South Yarra South Yarra Primary School 601 Punt Road South Yarra New Generation College Level 6 152-168 Elizabeth Street Melbourne Melbourne Girls Grammar 86 Anderson Street South Yarra The Meridian International School 196 Flinders Street Melbourne 399 Lonsdale Street Melbourne DOXA School West Melbourne 300 Rosslyn Street Melbourne West Level 3 - 169 Swanston Street Melbourne St Michael's Grammar School Melbourne High School Forrest Hill South Yarra 168 Exhibition Street Melbourne Presentation College Windsor 187 Dandenong Road Windsor Windsor Primary School Simonds Catholic College 273 Victoria Street Melbourne West St Mary's Primary School 118 Cecil Street Williamstown Holmes Secondary College 185 Spring Street Melbourne St Kilda Primary School Brighton Rd St Kilda Christian Brothers' College 11 Westbury Street St Kilda East
