2/53A Jackson Street, St Kilda, Vic 3182

There’s an art to balancing privacy and connection, and this Rothlowman-designed residence gets it right at every turn. Spanning three impressive levels, it delivers sophisticated living with an entertainer’s edge, where expansive alfresco spaces frame rare leafy vistas, forming a sanctuary amongst a dynamic lifestyle precinct. Positioned to capture the best of St Kilda, with Fitzroy Street dining, the #96 light rail, Albert Park Lake and the iconic foreshore all steps away, this is urban design at its most refined—architectural excellence with every detail considered.

Curated for effortless flow, the interiors bring together soaring ceilings and expanses of glass, framing the living and dining zones while centring around a marble-wrapped Miele kitchen. Thoughtfully appointed for those who love to entertain, it boasts 900mm appliances, integrated refrigeration, kitchen cupboards with Hafele auto close, an in-built champagne cooler, and in-built joinery. A BBQ terrace with mains gas connection extends the hosting potential, while the living room opens entirely to tranquil treetop views. Custom screens on the north-west terrace balance privacy with uninterrupted outlooks, and an automated awning ensures the space is inviting in every season. As winter sets in, the ever-evolving Melbourne skyline becomes part of the backdrop.

The upper level main bedroom is a standout, capturing sweeping views through oversized glazing that mirrors the design language of the lower floor and featuring built-in robes and a chic ensuite influenced by Japanese minimalism. Two additional robed bedrooms and two bathrooms include a versatile ground-floor guest bedroom or home office, complete with its own ensuite and a cleverly integrated Murphy bed. Operational skylights and double glazing throughout ensure light-filled connectivity, with highlights including independent ducted heating and cooling systems, a laundry, an alarm system, a video intercom, extensive storage, heated towel rails, and a double remote garage with secure gated access via ROW.
