This is classic St Kilda Art Deco — a quintessential piece of the era's quality and character. Tucked peacefully at the rear of the block on the top level, you step onto original timber floors and into an archetypal hallway lined with ornate cornices and soaring ceilings. That mesmerising staircase on your left, framed by a sensational full-height window, will catch your eye immediately — but we'll come back to that.
Off the hallway are three generous bedrooms. Two feature open fireplaces, two offer built-in robes, and the master is simply immense, offering a wealth of possible uses. Before heading upstairs, this level is served by a full-sized bathroom, tastefully updated with a modern vanity, full bath, separate toilet and Mediterranean-blue feature floor tiles. Next to it sits a good-sized European laundry, plus a separate powder room for guests.
Now for those stairs — and that magnificent window will strike you all over again on the way up. At the top, your "wow" moment awaits: a contemporary open-plan living zone that's genuinely mind-blowing. Whether it's the abundance of natural light pouring in from both north and south, the clever use of space offering endless options for relaxing, dining, studying, entertaining or creating, or the fabulous hostess kitchen — complete with stainless steel benchtop and appliances, a commercial-sized double sink, ample cupboard space and a walk-in pantry — you'll be smiling the whole way through.
Step out onto the extensive deck overlooking the park and across to Albert Park Lake, and you'll already be planning the entertaining you'll do here. Then there's the southern balcony, perfect for quiet moments on warm summer nights.
Opportunities like this don't come around often. You're at the Paris end of Fitzroy Street, with all the incredible amenity that brings — plus lock-up parking for two vehicles, multiple public transport options at your doorstep, and secure intercom entry.
