A picture of perfection directly adjacent to Chapel Street, trams and St Kilda Primary School, this magnificent freestanding c1900s Edwardian residence is, without doubt, one of Balaclava's best-positioned properties. Nestled within no-maintenance north-facing gardens with desirable ROW access, a breathtaking architect-designed renovation masterfully blends exquisite period elegance with sophisticated contemporary design, delivering the ultimate in family luxury.
Perfectly attuned to both lavish entertaining and a relaxed family lifestyle, the sun-drenched interior proportions are superbly enhanced by a sense of removed serenity, with spectacular ornate plaster ceilings and herringbone Oak floors forming a one-of-a-kind domain.
A unique pressed tin facade and tessellated entrance introduces the striking interior, where an illuminated open-plan domain takes centre stage to indulgent family living and entertaining. Streaming with natural light, this expansive domain is served by a sensational chef's kitchen appointed with porcelain benchtops, Asko appliances, including twin ovens (1x pyrolytic) and a butlers pantry with a second sink. A flawless alfresco focus extends the living areas to the picturesque north-facing private garden with an excellent entertainers patio equipped with a plumbed outdoor kitchen.
The opulently proportioned main bedroom with a designer en suite and wall-to-wall robes sets a benchmark in luxury that is matched by three additional double bedrooms with built-in robes, a 5th bedroom/fitted office and two additional stylish bathrooms. Within an exclusive setting, a short walk to city-bound trams, a plethora of restaurants, cafes and shops, and with easy access to trains and excellent schools, it is comprehensively appointed with alarm and CCTV, hydronic heating, split system air-conditioning upstairs, ducted refrigerated cooling, floor-to-ceiling storage, designer bathrooms, European laundry, shed, auto gates and off-street parking for one.
