Rare in both format and finish, this two bedroom plus study residence occupies a privileged position to the rear of one of St Kildas more iconic clinker brick buildings - and with it an outlook unlike any other in the building. Where most residences catch only a glimpse of green, this home looks down the entire length of established garden. A design-led renovation of exceptional craftsmanship has been layered over exquisite Art Deco origins, enhancing proportion and storage, elevating every detail and preserving the period character that simply cannot be rebuilt.
The dedicated study, fitted with a built-in desk and integrated bookcase is the differentiator: a genuine home office that answers the way people now live and work, not a compromised nook. It sets the home apart from the standard two bedroom offering.
Beyond the entrance hall and highlighting polished hardwood flooring, finely detailed ceilings and original leadlight windows, the home opens to a generous living and dining space warmed by an open fireplace, proportioned to easily accommodate an eight-seat dining table and finished with built-in bench seating, as well as integrated storage and a bespoke entertainment unit, all sympathetic of the original era. Framing uninterrupted green outlooks, the room draws the morning light, lending a gallery-like calm, while a built-in bar and wine fridge speak to its entertainment pedigree.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with an industrial-style pan rack, timber cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, balancing function with character. Both bedrooms feature custom built-in robes, with the primary bedroom also offering additional bench-seat storage, complemented by a flawless subway-tiled bathroom / laundry, split system heating and air conditioning.
Positioned where Elwood meets St Kilda, the home is moments from Barkly and Acland Streets and all their celebrated cafes, restaurants and bars, with the Botanic Gardens and the beach also both just a short stroll away. To wake to a garden vista this verdant, in a setting this connected is exceedingly rare in St Kilda where heritage, lifestyle and liveability meet.
