14/39 Acland Street, St Kilda, Vic 3182

Discover the height of Victorian splendour - up in the treetops and high on the hill! One of just a handful of apartments in the ‘secret’ mansion conversion at the rear of the tightly-held Leithen group, this grand apartment is a rare find with breathtaking Victorian proportions and today’s style ... hidden away beyond a stone stairway shared with just one other apartment.

Spanning the full width of the upper floor with a house-like two bedroom floorplan with all the space of a traditional semi-detached terrace home, this first-floor residence has been thoughtfully converted. With original Baltic Pine floors beneath towering ceilings, the home retains rare beauty with robe-fitted bedrooms opening to the treetops with elegant Juliet-balconies, fireplaces for most rooms, and a wide arched-hallway culminating in a lofty open-plan.

Sophisticated by design with a streamlined European appliance kitchen sitting sleekly alongside living-dining and a window-walled bathroom with architectural fittings including a concealed cistern WC, this centrally heated apartment is appointed for today with discreet laundry facilities, secure intercom entry and gated parking in view.

Opposite historic Church Square, this magnificent mansion conversion is at home in the leafiest, loveliest stretch of St Kilda Hill. Equally close to Acland St’s bookshops, bars and boutiques and Fitzroy St’s tram, this elegant apartment has the iconic hospitality of the Espy on the Upper Esplanade, the Baths, Stokehouse and new pier on the beach, and the City within an easy 20 minute commute!!
