4/17 St Leonards Avenue, St Kilda, Vic 3182

Award-winning architect Nonda Katsalidis doesn’t do ordinary, and neither does this. A striking design in one of St Kilda’s most exclusive cul-de-sacs, this sun-drenched two-bedroom apartment makes its mark with architectural pedigree, a blue-chip position and effortless liveability. Hidden within a leafy boutique group, its privacy is matched by proximity, where Albert Park Lake, the foreshore and St Kilda’s best are all within easy reach, securing its status as a rare find with serious investment and lifestyle appeal.

Elevated on the first floor, the interiors make the most of their position, with floor-to-ceiling glazing flooding the open-plan living and dining space with natural light, drawing the eye out to a deep undercover balcony with leafy outlooks and a sky that shifts with the seasons. The well-appointed kitchen keeps things sleek and streamlined, while two spacious bedrooms, the main with a walk-in robe and private balcony, follow the iconic design curves, met with a central bathroom with a bath and a separate laundry.

Stylish and easy care with timber floors, high ceilings, hydronic heating, intercom security, and with the bonus of secure undercover parking for one with over bonnet storage, it promises an excellent lifestyle base, where St Kilda’s best is a short walk away, including Acland and Fitzroy Streets fine dining and wine bars, Catani Gardens, the light rail (96), St Kilda Rd trams, and the beach.
