Description: Commanding an extraordinary position on the St Kilda marina, this landmark c1917 residence delivers a rare combination of bay views, architectural presence and substantial landholding of approximately 650sqm*, with the added advantage of dual street access and secure garaging via Blessington Court. Set behind tall fencing and dual-gated entry, it offers privacy and scale that is almost impossible to replicate on Melbourne's waterfront close to the CBD. Beyond the secure frontage, a private courtyard pool creates an immediate sense of resort-style calm, while the home itself has been beautifully renovated with a sophisticated sense of restraint, retaining its original grandeur through soaring ceilings, Baltic pine floors and intricate timber fretwork. A wide central hallway leads to elegant formal living and dining rooms designed for refined entertaining, complemented by a spectacular bay-window bedroom with ornate fireplace offering a perfect guest suite or flexible ground-floor main option. Two additional robed bedrooms, a dedicated home office with custom joinery, and two impeccably finished bathrooms provide ideal family functionality, with micro-cement textures and a freestanding bath delivering a calm, spa-like aesthetic that sits beautifully alongside the home's period character. To the rear, north-facing open-plan living and dining connects seamlessly to a newly renovated stone kitchen featuring stone benchtops and a Falcon four-oven range, opening to a deep landscaped garden and generous outdoor entertaining zones. A half-court basketball area and wide second frontage further reinforce the home's exceptional landholding and lifestyle appeal, while secure garaging accessed via Blessington Court adds rare practicality to this blue-chip waterfront address. Upstairs, the main suite is a true retreat, capturing sweeping bay views from two private balconies, with walk-in robe and ensuite complemented by its own north-facing terrace. A once-in-a-generation St Kilda offering where location, land, privacy and lifestyle align at the highest level, moments from Acland Street, the foreshore, Peanut Farm Reserve and iconic dining including Donovans and Stokehouse. *Dimensions are approximate.
