Good to know

This elevated, park-facing apartment offers rare space, comfort and outdoor living right in the centre of St Kilda, whilst exuding peace and tranquility tucked away in a quiet residential street, away from the hum of Acland Street. The open plan living and dining zone is flooded with natural light and flows seamlessly onto the full-width balcony overlooking the peaceful park below. Electric blinds, dimmer lighting, heating/cooling and a ceiling fan let you create the perfect ambience at any time of day, whether you’re enjoying a movie night, or relaxing with a book on the comfortable adjustable couch. The balcony sliding doors open up for that relaxing indoor/outdoor living experience, while fly screens invite in the coastal breeze. Unique deco elements and vintage pieces adorn the property, adding a personal touch to your stay. The bespoke open plan kitchen, crafted for the most discerning chefs, is fully equipped with premium finishes for everything from relaxed breakfasts on the balcony to rooftop dinners at sunset. You’ll find an oven, stove top, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, sandwich press and blender, along with a dining table that seats six, and comfortable kitchen bench stools for inclusive chats with the cook during dinner prep. The BBQ makes entertaining effortless, for those balmy evenings when enjoying the balcony atmosphere is the order of the day. There are two comfortable balcony couches with cushions and blankets which add to the comfort and serenity. Both bedrooms are generously sized and designed with comfort in mind. The main bedroom features balcony doors with park/tree top vistas that can be viewed from the comfort of the luxurious queen Tempur bed, which can be repositioned by remote. The main bedroom has its own TV, electric blinds, dimmer lighting, ceiling fan, heating/cooling, built in robe/cupboard space, and suitcase rack. There’s even an electric massage table, making the space ideal for travelling therapists, or guests seeking a wellness-focused (or romantic) stay. The second bedroom also features a premium queen bed, heating/cooling, electric blinds, dimmer lighting, built in robe/cupboard space, and suitcase rack. The vogue bathroom offers a spa-like experience, complete with a deep soaking bath, walk in shower, heated floors, dimmer lighting, two heated towel rails, and a massive touch-light mirror with two different ambience settings. A washing machine is conveniently tucked away behind designer cabinetry in the kitchen, along with an iron and ironing board in a separate cupboard. A king size rooftop washing line makes sun-drying easy and there’s a separate portable rack for air drying on the balcony. There’s also an over-sized coin operated communal washing machine downstairs for those larger items or for sandy towels after a day at the beach. For longer stays a vacuum is available for added convenience. There’s one dedicated parking spot at the side of the building making it easy to bring up the luggage, and ample free and paid parking in the surrounding streets. A basket-ball court and footie oval are a stone’s throw away for the sports fanatics, and there's a skateboard ramp by the beach around the corner. High-speed Wi-Fi for streaming, working, or staying connected are also included. And then there’s the rooftop. The expansive private rooftop terrace is the true showpiece of this home. With a relaxing outdoor setting, a beautiful garden oasis with over 100 different plants, and led lighting that automatically flicks on after the not to be missed golden sunset hour. With a generous space to relax, it’s designed for long afternoons in the sun, sunset drinks, and memorable evenings under the stars. Bright, spacious and rare for this location, it feels like your own sky-high backyard in the heart of St Kilda. To keep the garden at its best, we kindly ask guests to allow a gardener to attend to the rooftop once or twice a week. Just moments from the beach, the iconic Luna Park, the famous Acland Street cake shops, vibrant cafés, restaurants and bars, and easy walking distance to trams into the CBD, this home delivers the ultimate blend of lifestyle, comfort and unbeatable location. The house will be used for rest-style holidaying; loud parties, events and gatherings are strictly prohibited. The roof top is restricted to up to six guests staying at the apartment.
