In the magnificent period surrounds of blue chip St Kilda West, this three-bedroom two-bathroom single level home presents one of the area's most remarkable opportunities. Set on a prominent 396m2 corner with three frontages, a prized north facing rear, separate studio/home office or retreat and double garage, an exceptional range of possibilities exist, each guaranteed to unlock one of Melbourne's most privileged lifestyles. Move in and enjoy the beautifully spacious existing accommodation, perhaps establishing or running a home based business or professional rooms at the rear via a separate ROW entry. Or renovate, perhaps add a second story (STCA) to maximize the wonderful opportunities this rarefied position just footsteps from the beach, waterfront, parkland and Fitzroy Street presents.
