20 Baker Street, St Kilda

For the first time in nearly a century, this exceptional brick residence is proudly offered to the market — an opportunity of remarkable rarity and prestige. Held by the same family for 87 years, this property represents a moment in time: an invitation to own a significant landholding of approximately 898sqm in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held lifestyle locations. As you enter, a lush, green walkway leads you through the gardens towards the timeless brick façade, setting a tone of charm, privacy, and enduring quality. The home itself exudes a sense of scale and substance, offering five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, multiple formal and informal living zones, and a generous study that lends itself to flexibility. The heart of the home is defined by two well-appointed kitchens, each with abundant storage, ideal for large families or dual-living arrangements. There is also a full-size laundry, a wine cellar, and a workshop room that speaks to the property’s rich history of craftsmanship. Flowing seamlessly from the home are established, beautifully maintained gardens that surround the residence with colour, texture, and serenity — a rare sanctuary that feels worlds away from the vibrant lifestyle precincts just beyond the gate. The grounds also feature a double garage, and ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or future development. While the existing home offers immense comfort and potential for restoration, the true value lies in the land's scale and position. Whether you choose to renovate, extend, or completely redevelop (STCA), the possibilities are boundless. Few opportunities exist to reimagine such a substantial parcel in this tightly held pocket of St Kilda. In this suburb, land of this size and quality is rarely, if ever, offered. Ideally located just moments from St Kilda Botanical Gardens, Acland Street, Carlisle Street cafés and restaurants, elite schools, public transport, and the sparkling foreshore, this address captures the essence of Melbourne’s bayside living — vibrant, connected, and effortlessly elegant. This is more than a home; it is a generational estate, rich in history and ready for its next extraordinary chapter.
