3 Crimea Street

St Kilda VIC 3182

Eleven principal rooms include multiple living and dining areas and five bedrooms, complemented by an expansive architect-designed north-west facing rear extension with a chef's kitchen and garden connection. Former stables provide a self-contained loft apartment/sixth bedroom.

While the facade is all old-world elegance, what unfolds beyond the front door is a masterful blend of old and new, with proportions and detailing that define the era. Natural light pours through the grand entry hall with its soaring clerestory, leading to a formal dining room and a living room with a significant black Belgian marble fireplace and original decorative ceiling. As you ascend the broad staircase with its stained-glass feature window, the upper floor provides five bedrooms (the main with a treetop balcony and custom dressing room) and two bathrooms. At the rear of the upper floor is a huge separate family room with a 5m-high ceiling that overlooks the beautiful walled garden.

Other features of this incredible family home include rear garaging plus two further off-street car parks, three powder rooms, two pergolas, a separate studio/storage room, hydronic and slab floor heating, reverse cycle air-conditioning, a wine cellar, a bar, and a BBQ area.

Brilliantly located within close proximity to Fitzroy and Chapel Street restaurants and cafés, Albert Park Lake, leading schools including St Michael's Grammar and Wesley College, Windsor Station and city-bound trams.
