Overview

This solid brick apartment is a notable opportunity for those seeking a waterfront lifestyle combined with urban convenience. Nestled directly opposite the serene St Kilda Botanical Gardens, the property benefits from peaceful green views and an abundance of natural light that floods through well-oriented rooms. The design cleverly positions two bedrooms at opposite ends of a broad entry hallway, offering exceptional privacy and versatility. Both bedrooms include built-in robes and northern exposure, ensuring bright, comfortable spaces that can cater to family members, guests, or be adapted as a home office.

The expansive living and dining area is a defining feature, seamlessly extending onto a balcony that overlooks a tranquil central courtyard garden. This outdoor space provides a private alfresco retreat, ideal for relaxation or entertaining. The large, well-equipped kitchen includes a designated meals area and ample storage and bench space, facilitating both everyday meals and social gatherings with ease.

  • Functional and practical design highlighted by a main bathroom with separate bath and shower and a separate powder room, supporting household convenience.
  • Additional storage, a dedicated laundry room, and comfort features including heating and cooling enhance the livability of the apartment throughout the year.
  • A coveted covered car space adds a level of rare convenience, completing the package for apartment living.

While appreciated for its original mid-century charm, the apartment also offers scope for renovation, allowing prospective owners to update and potentially increase the property’s value. The location is undeniably one of its strongest draws. Close to cafes on Acland Street, St Kilda Beach, and the marina, it provides easy access to vibrant bayside lifestyle attractions. Public transport options including trams and nearby train stations provide seamless connectivity to the city.

Well-suited for professionals, downsizers, or investors seeking a quiet yet accessible bayside home, this apartment presents a rare chance to secure a well-located residence in one of Melbourne's most sought-after pockets, enhanced by its peaceful surroundings and proximity to key amenities and recreational options.
