Perched on the beach side of St Kilda Street to take its place on the Golden Mile, this elegant, evocative residence fuses modern ease with the grace of yesteryear, ready for turnkey living while offering stellar scope to revitalise.

Quiet and secluded behind its secure fence, deep front yard, and façade rich with period charm, a free-flowing interior is the perfect canvas for a family to add personal touches and live comfortably for years to come. An inviting entrance foyer introduces substantial front living and dining areas, complementing a combined meals/kitchen area and back sunroom in providing outstanding space and flexibility for a growing family. Four generous bedrooms are well-served by a smart main bathroom with a bathtub, tidy second bathroom, and excellent storage, while a vast backyard with tall trees, wonderful privacy, and a distant setback from thoroughfares proves ideal for blue-sky entertaining, kids to kick a ball, extending into, and a pool in any future revamp (STCA).

Augmented by electric-gated parking for four cars, other highlights include ducted heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a full-size laundry, large attic, and old-world details headlined by high, ornate ceilings, leadlight windows, Baltic pine floors, picture rails, and fully functioning fireplaces. Between the serenity of the shore and buzz of Bay and Church Streets, it’s never more than a short 5 minute stroll to breathtaking scenery, world-class coffee, celebrated cuisine, thriving nightlife, shopping options, and the local Baths and Yacht Club, along with revered Brighton and Firbank Grammar, swimming and dog beaches, and city-bound trains.
