Framed by the leafy serenity of its sought-after surroundings, this single-level Edwardian home on a deep 371sqm (approx) allotment pairs period character with a transformative renovation that brings space and light to the forefront. Positioned in a prized pocket between the St Kilda Botanical Gardens and Elwood Primary School, it offers an unbeatable lifestyle focused on peaceful ease and connection, bordered by the thriving precincts of Tennyson Street Village, St Kilda's vibrant Acland Street and the beach.
Beyond the solid brick façade, preserved period details in refined timber floors and soaring ceilings create an immediate sense of scale. Three generously sized bedrooms unfold along the hall, led by the main suite, where thermally-insulated Aneeta windows allow airflow and substantial walk-in storage meet a dual vanity contemporary ensuite.
The transition from old to new is both seamless and striking. A glass-encased breezeway connects the old and new, flanked by accessible courtyards that flood the open-plan domain with natural light. Vaulted ceilings amplify the space within the living/dining areas, while sliding glass opens to an alfresco deck designed for easy entertaining, flowing from the kitchen, which features high-end Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances, including an induction cook-top, stone benchtops and access to the landscaped rear garden.
A separate home office/4th bedroom adds versatility, complementing the home's considered layout, whilst features include hydronic heating, a separate laundry with ample storage, ceiling fans, split system air conditioning, 5.5kW solar power and heat pump hot water. With extensive custom storage, off-street parking for two, a utility yard and a garden shed completing the offering, it's an exceptional low-maintenance, low-energy base, close to city-bound trams and trains, leading schools, cafes and beachside trails.
