56 Chaucer Street, St Kilda, Vic 3182

A prized position opposite Peanut Farm Reserve, this bright and light single-level, solid-brick Victorian home offers a rare sense of tranquillity in the pulse of St Kilda's spirited heart. Steps from Acland Street and the famous foreshore, it delivers an effortless and calming take on urban living, where charming period detail, light and modern design meet the energetic lifestyle of its iconic surroundings. 

High ceilings, a corbel arch hallway and decorative ceiling roses hint at the bygone era, introducing two generous bedrooms, each fitted with extensive built-in robes and sharing a
contemporary bathroom. Raked ceilings reach soaring heights within the open-plan living and dining areas to the rear, flowing through a wall of bi-fold doors to a private terrace framed by established greenery. Access to the light-well courtyard heightens the kitchen's airiness and complements the home's relaxed ambience, accompanied by engineered stone surfaces and all-electric appliances.

The location is truly unbeatable, and the turnkey appeal is irresistible. It has split system air-conditioning, a European laundry, and natural hardwood timber floors, with the beach, wine bars, renowned restaurants, the farmers market and city-bound trams (96, 16) all on the doorstep.
