6/123 Beaconsfield Parade, Albert Park, Vic 3206

Nestled securely among the converted local icon formerly known as Hotel Victoria (c1888), this ultra-spacious abode pairs style and turn-key comfort with serenity and easy accessibility, embracing the views and vibrancy of Melbourne’s favourite beach esplanade.

Preceded by the boom-style building’s breathtaking grandeur and meticulous craftsmanship, the first-floor home proves unmatched in its lifestyle appeal. Towering ceilings add to the airiness of an already-expansive interior, with extraordinary sights of the sandy shore, vivid blue water, and iconic Beaconsfield palms a priceless backdrop for both unwinding and entertaining. Flanked by a covered balcony perfect for a drink enjoying the bay breeze, a broad living/dining area soaks in natural light, while Miele appliances feature in a stone top kitchen. With brilliant vistas to wake to, a generous bedroom enjoys plentiful robe space and ensuite access to a sizeable, twin-shower bathroom, while other highlights include timber floors, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, a video intercom, secure car space, and living room gas-log fire for cosy nights come wintertime.

Blending the tranquillity of beach living with the buzz of the inner-city, it’s quite literally seconds to the sand, sea, and seemingly endless Bay Trail, while moments to the bars, brunch spots, and boutique shops of Victoria Avenue and Bridport Street, parks, sporting fields, leisure trail, and Grand Prix circuit skirting Albert Park Lake, Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, trams bound for the CBD, and South Melbourne Market.
