205/55 Beach Street, Port Melbourne

Inspections by appointment. Relishing its placement along Melbourne’s most adored beachfront avenue, this exceptional residence frames simply stunning sights of water opposite, all while soaking in the vogue and vibrancy of neighbouring Bay Street. Functionality at the fore, an impressively spacious interior emphasises separation between accommodation and entertaining, with a pair of substantial bedrooms accompanied by walk-in and built-in robes, a smart central bathroom, and revamped ensuite plus private terrace to a sumptuous master. With scope to repurpose for use as a third bedroom, a fitted study presents the ideal base for today’s home professional, while a first-class kitchen’s stone benches and upscale appliances cater handily for the avid home chef. An accomplished entertainer, a wonderfully open living/dining domain spills into a completely covered, home-width balcony, with evening drinks enlivened by vivid sunset views across the adjacent bay. Its vantage sublime for watching the crashing waves and ocean liners disappear into the distance, the remarkable lifestyle retreat proves equally as attractive as a short-stay or set-and-forget investment, with highlights including comprehensive heating/cooling, a video intercom, European laundry, and garage space with storage cage. Less than 50m to the pristine sands of Port Melbourne Beach, the winding bay trail makes for scenic bike rides, morning strolls with coffee in-hand, and social jogs to St Kilda and beyond, with the area’s thriving cafés, restaurants, bars, and boutiques, the city-bound Light Rail, and numerous parks all just steps away.
