22/23 Mitford Street, St Kilda, Vic 3182

The allure of the unexpected is as magnetic as the surroundings in this ultra-contemporary Perkins Architects creation, privately positioned at the rear of a grand Edwardian estate. A striking contrast to its dynamic setting, it delivers New York-inspired design, panoramic skyline views, and a rare sense of seclusion—all while keeping St Kilda’s best within effortless reach. Acland Street’s vibrant energy, the tranquillity of St Kilda Botanical Gardens, the iconic 96 tram, and the world-renowned foreshore are all at its doorstep, proving that location and design can be equally captivating.

Sleek modern lines and an alfresco connection over two levels define the interior, opening to a tree-lined north-west aspect and two balconies, the upper floor inviting sweeping vistas of Melbourne’s city lights. Open-plan living and dining promote easy living beside a Blanco -appointed kitchen, with a wealth of storage and stacked sliding glass that draws in the light and indoor-outdoor focus. Upstairs, the main bedroom features a sun-drenched ensuite with a separate WC and built-in robes, with the second bedroom offering adaptability for guests or as a potential office on the ground floor beside a second hotel-worthy bathroom. 

A large European laundry, key-fob access, video intercom, secure parking for one with lift-access and a storage cage add undeniable lock-and-leave appeal, walking distance to the best of St Kilda, with charming cafes, lively nightlife, beachside attractions and city-bound transport all at your front door.
