Edwardian character and light-filled ease unite in this peaceful three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, where early 20th century elegance gives way to a contemporary extension designed for modern living. Situated on a quiet street with a strong sense of community, and only moments from the vibrant atmosphere of St Kilda’s iconic beachside lifestyle, the home is perfectly scaled across 311 sqm (approx) to suit those seeking timeless charm with all the benefits of updated design.
Decorative cornices, ornate fretwork and ceiling roses offer a warm nod to the past, introduced by a rose-lined front garden and a wide verandah. Three generous bedrooms rest beneath soaring ceilings, two with open fireplaces, and the main with built-in robes and a sleek double-vanity and double-shower ensuite. A central bathroom with a bath, separate toilet and a Euro laundry with abundant storage continues the sense of practical liveability, while the central hallway leads to the home's most dynamic domain.
Extending out to a lush garden backdrop, the rear addition opens with volume and light, creating a welcoming living and dining zone enhanced by a gas fireplace, hardwood floors and a streamlined kitchen with breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and generous preparation and entertaining space. Highlight windows, a private courtyard and side access enhance its indoor-outdoor lifestyle, while thoughtful inclusions such as double glazing, solar hot water, two hidden rainwater tanks, wine cellar, and both ducted and split system heating/cooling heighten everyday appeal. Positioned close to the Acland and Fitzroy Street precincts, Brighton Road trams and the sand and sea of St Kilda Beach, this is a home that makes city-fringe living feel worlds away.
