52 Chapel Street, St Kilda, Vic 3182

Immersed in a genuine sense of security and tranquillity amid all the action, this stunning double-fronted, freestanding Victorian home is the perfect hallmark of this area's heritage beauty and lively energy. Enjoying the freedom of space on a 555 sqm (approx) allotment with rear laneway access offering potential for off-street parking (STCA), this long-held three-bedroom, two-bathroom property offers a wonderful juxtaposition of period features and contemporary refinement that forms an enviable base for easy living amongst one of Melbourne's most coveted lifestyle precincts.

Welcomed by a lovingly maintained front garden, exquisite leadlight windows and high ornate ceilings define a central hallway, introducing two spacious and light-filled bedrooms featuring ornate fireplaces. Interconnected living and dining areas benefit tremendously from the grand proportions typical of the era, whilst the kitchen at the rear of the home leads the modern transformation, which centres around an original working wood oven, premium Smeg and Miele appliances and sleek stone benchtops. Rear access via the adjacent study nook opens to a generous covered alfresco area and an established garden, with room to play, relax and entertain in total privacy. A third bedroom, or home office with an updated ensuite, adds exceptional versatility, set alongside the equally appointed main bathroom.

Secure high-gated entry with intercom, stylish plantation shutters, solid timber floors, gas ducted heating, reverse cycle heating and cooling and laundry facilities add to the turn-key appeal. However, its position, just moments from St Kilda's prized foreshore precinct, steps from city-bound trams, buzzing cafes and popular dining options along Carlisle Street, places you front and centre for an unbeatable inner-urban lifestyle.
