An exhilarating example of Edwardian grace and artful luxury, this magnificent 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom solid brick residence creates an unforgettable first impression, while the architecturally inspired extension, stunning garden setting, and off-street parking via right of way deliver endless family appeal. Period class and contemporary excellence have never been more beautifully expressed, combining turn-of-the-century proportions with dream interiors by Deem Studios to form a sanctuary of style, function and effortless elegance in the esteemed St Kilda Hill precinct.
Behind the majestic street presence, Baltic pine floors and ornate 12ft ceilings are beautifully displayed through the renovated original rooms, spilling from the imposing hall to four generous bedrooms, each with custom robes. The indulgent main suite evokes a sense of calm with its on-trend colour palette, revealing bespoke built-in and walk-in robes, plus a statement sky-lit en-suite with a heated towel rail and deep blue handmade tiles. Bathed in natural light from the west-facing rear, the expansive open plan living and dining room features a gas log fire and premium stone-bench kitchen, fully appointed for entertaining with top quality appliances, including an integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer and a butler’s pantry. Sliding stacked doors open the living spaces to a large alfresco dining terrace overlooking the private easy-care garden offering rare privacy.
Upstairs, additional living space with banks of Velux skylights allows for modern-day versatility, perfect as a kids’ retreat/rumpus, whilst the ground-floor home office with extensive library storage, built-in desks and an upright wood fire provides parents with a quiet space to unwind or work undisturbed from home.
