Subscribe to regular market updates. Fronting St Kilda Botanical Gardens with a second frontage to Smith Street, this Boom-era Victorian residence captures a rare dual aspect, with a considered contemporary revival, designed to harness northern light and extend an effortless dialogue between inside and out. With secure garage parking for two vehicles and a low-maintenance design across two levels, the four-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout is arranged to move intuitively with the arc of the day. Substantial living, dining and kitchen spaces define the upper level, framed by high ceilings, natural timber floors and a marble-topped kitchen fitted with a 900mm Ilve stove, integrated dishwasher, filtered water and walk-in pantry. A study nook, powder room and bi-folds to a travertine-tiled terrace with built in mains gas BBQ enhance the capacity and enticing options for relaxed indoor-outdoor entertaining. Below are three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in robes and sliding doors to a landscaped side courtyard, sharing a central family bathroom. An additional large and private main suite carries alluring hallmarks of the Victorian era with soaring ceilings, benefitting further from a fitted walk-in robe, Italian marble ensuite and serene park views. Hydronic heating, underfloor heating through the travertine-tiled hallway, a remote double garage with internal access and a large laundry reinforce the enduring appeal, enriched by its privileged park-front position, within walking distance to St Kilda Beach, multiple tram networks, renowned schools and the area's celebrated dining and cultural precincts.
