3 Park Street,
ST KILDA WEST

OBVIOUS

A first glance at this stunning Edwardian gives a warm first impression, and a second glance will give you a safe, urban sanctuary in St Kilda’s bustling west.

Step inside and you’ll notice the ceilings have been intentionally set sky-high to create plenty of space throughout the home. To your right is the first bedroom bathing in natural light from the oversized front window, built-in shelving, a romantic window seat, a fireplace with Moroccan Zellige tiles laid in a herringbone sequence and new wool carpet.

Keep walking through and two additional bedrooms are on your left, both with built-in-robes, fresh wool carpet and fireplaces with Moroccan Zellige tiles laid in a herringbone sequence. The third bedroom — or nursery — features custom safari removable wallpaper that can stay or go without fuss. The contemporary bathroom includes custom vanity storage and newly tiled shower-bath combination, to tick every box.

The open plan living room has been designed for lounging and laying, with vast arched windows opening the space. The fireplace a subtle reminder of the heritage character, the wooden floors beneath your feet have been recently sanded and refinished, and block-out roman and sheer roller blinds have been installed for all windows in the home to keep things private.

The kitchen and dining seamlessly connect to the outdoor space, with the design making clever use of the space and an energy that encourages you to linger. The appliances are stainless steel, the bench tops have been refinished, and all cabinetry has been recently updated with new handles. A statement skylight funnels the sun through the room and provides a green outlook from the lush trees outside. Speaking of, the landscaped rear garden also includes new screening on all three sides.

If you’re not in the mindset of making amendments or upgrades, the previous owners have already turned over every stone to equip the next owners with every comfort. Hydronic heating keeps the Melbourne winters at bay, all bedrooms and bathrooms have had a fresh lick of paint, and a new security system with intercom has been installed.

SEALS THE DEAL

A quiet sanctuary brimming with heritage character is rare enough, but pair this with a five-minute walk to the beach and St Kilda’s best hidden pocket. Impossible? We’ll prove it.
