17A Loch Street, St Kilda West, Vic 3182

A celebration of the lifestyle exclusive to its heritage-laced enclave, this turn-key retreat pairs sublime space with architectural smarts, delivering low-maintenance luxe within steps of countless allures.

Benefiting from second frontage to wide Felix Lane, the exceptional home lies beyond a peaceful front courtyard and sculpted ivy wall, with a ground-level bathroom/office pairing ideal as a guest’s suite and professional’s base. With top-floor accommodation both scenic and sumptuous, a walk-in robe, ensuite, and tranquil balcony enhance a sizeable main bedroom, while built-in robes and a trendy bathroom with bath service two impressive, added bedrooms. With a cherry-wood feature wall lining the staircase from ground to roof, a brilliant middle storey acts as the plan’s focal point, relishing ribbons of sunlight and calming vistas through oversized northern windows.

An eastern balcony is magnificent for morning coffees among foliage, while living, dining, and Smeg/Asko kitchen areas comfortably cater for gatherings large and small. A substantial, wonderfully private terrace hits its stride in warmer months, perfect for a blue-sky barbecue or social drink glancing at Silver Birches and sunset hues. A haven of space, substance, and serenity with verdant outlooks available from every corner, features include high ceilings, recycled hardwood floors, skylights and timber vanities to top-level bathrooms, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, a European laundry, double garage facing Felix Lane, and delightful bay breeze through western windows.

Nestled in a location that’s among the city’s most tightly held, it’s moments to revered schools and the city Light Rail, with vibrancy and tranquillity never more than footsteps away. From the front door, leafy suburbia sits to the left, lively Fitzroy Street to the right, Albert Park Lake straight ahead, and the picturesque foreshore just 300m behind.
