202/8 Blanche Street, St Kilda, Vic 3182

The essence of St Kilda is tastefully merged with an evocative hint of New York sophistication and wrapped in the lofty proportions of this particularly impressive, modern, two-to-three bedroom apartment, within easy reach of everything that matters in St Kilda. Fully secure in a boutique, low-rise building, the home is privately tucked away at the end of a super central cul de sac that is just a short walk from both Acland Street and Fitzroy Street. Instantly engaging under soaring ceilings and with polished hardwood under foot, the home’s open-plan living is underpinned by a stone-topped kitchen where stainless-steel appliances are complemented by timber cabinetry and glass splash backs, whilst light-letting floor-to-ceiling windows and doors extend the space outdoors to a terrace that is backed by views to domed towers of the Palais Theatre. Warmed by hydronic heating, the apartment also presents two enormous, robed bedrooms and a study that is large enough to be re-purposed as a third bedroom, plus there is an impressive bathroom with an oversized shower, a concealed laundry, basement parking, a storage unit and elevator access. This is a brilliant walk-everywhere proposition surrounded by excellent cafes, bars and restaurants on Fitzroy Street, Acland Street, Barkly Street and on Carlisle Street, plus you have easy access to the waterfront, Albert Park Lake and city-bound trams along Brighton Rd.
