Directly opposite the sand and just steps from St Kilda’s most recognisable institutions, including Donovans, the Palais Theatre and the Peanut Farm Reserve, this double-fronted c1880 Victorian residence offers a rare and unbeatable connection to Melbourne’s iconic waterfront lifestyle. Superbly enhanced for modern-day living and boasting a second frontage and secure parking to Shakespeare Grove, it evokes the grace of its era and the rare freedom of a north-west rear garden, panoramic never-to-be-built-out bay and sunset views from its elevated interior. Importantly, it also comes with the advantage of lapsed, previously approved plans and permits to rebuild the carport as a two-storey structure, incorporating a garage and first-floor multipurpose studio if desired.
Within secure gardens, an enclosed sunroom provides an ideal space to take in the sea air or entertain with the backdrop of the beach, with richly-toned Baltic pine floors and soaring 3.668m ceilings defining a wide hallway and elegant proportions, flowing to three large-scale bedrooms, including a ground-floor main suite with walk-in robe and en-suite with a freestanding bath and double shower. Upstairs, oversized arched windows sweep across the first floor, framing the uninterrupted scenery over Port Phillip Bay, enhancing the full-floor living and dining domain. A marble-surround gas fireplace and timber floors elevate the grandeur, while the adjacent well-appointed kitchen offers space for casual meals, complete with a marble OFP and sun-drenched aspect.
Out the back, the generously-sized, entirely private garden is a rarity for this location, unfolding to established greenery, in-built bench seating on the timber deck perfect for al-fresco dining and a single remote-garage, allowing drive-through secure parking for additional vehicles. With a peerless beachfront address, a short walk to cafes, restaurants and city-bound transport, this impressive home also features hydronic heating, split system air conditioning, solar power, security system, video intercom, powder room, and European laundry all on 310sqm (approx).
