6/28 Dalgety Street

St Kilda VIC 3182

Beautifully renovated and positioned within the boutique Kara Mansion apartments on Dalgety Reserve, this irresistible two-bedroom residence boasts grand period character paired with refined contemporary design. Originally constructed as a Victorian mansion c.1870 before its conversion into apartments in 1926, Kara retains the elegance of its earliest years. Positioned within the original rear section of the building, the home is distinguished by magnificent soaring 3.7m ceilings, refurbished Baltic pine floors, and exceptionally generous proportions that create an immediate sense of space and calm in the heart of St Kilda.

Bathed in northern light, the oversized living room centres around an English Esse cast-iron wood-burning fireplace set on a bluestone hearth. The dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen feature an intricate blush terracotta splashback, stone benchtops, induction cooktop and oven, integrated appliances including refrigeration and dishwasher. The main bedroom is expansive and restful, offering ample space to retreat and relax, with full-height custom robes enhancing functionality. The second bedroom is equally distinctive and versatile, featuring extensive storage and a bespoke loft that accommodates a queen-sized bed above a study or play area, creating a layered and highly adaptable room. The bathroom is luxuriously finished in marble and copper, complemented by a discreet European laundry.

Complete with modern comforts including video intercom and security door entry, split-system heating and cooling, custom 2-pac joinery throughout, and a lock-up garage accessed via Little Grey Street. Residents enjoy communal outdoor space including a Juliet balcony and established gardens with a vegetable patch. This designer gem offers unique appeal in a picturesque, leafy pocket of St Kilda, with Fitzroy Street's restaurants, city-bound trams, Albert Park Lake, Acland Street, and the beach all within easy walking distance.
