1 Pilley Street
St Kilda East

A superbly renovated, solid brick, early Edwardian classic, offered for only the second time since its construction in 1910, this four bedroom family residence delivers a sense of privacy and sanctuary that is utterly remarkable in such a thriving inner-urban setting. Rich period character sits comfortably beside a comprehensive top-to-bottom renewal in this fully double-glazed family home with a sunny alfresco flow, all in a dream location just moments from Chapel Street.

Introduced via a traditional entry with leadlight windows and soaring ceilings of fine detail, the home flows through to its open-plan rear, where a gourmet kitchen / dining / living is organised around a waterfall-edged island of stone that creates a four-to-five person breakfast bar. Two sets of glass sliding doors introduce streams of northern light while extending the open-plan outdoors to a private and paved garden oasis.

The primary bedroom is enormous with an entire wall of built-in robes and ensuite that has been finished with a double shower, spa bath and a heated towel rail, whilst another two bedrooms also offer substantial built-in robe storage. Added highlights of this impeccably well considered home include a traditional lounge room with a gas-converted fireplace and a second north-facing courtyard, as well as securely gated driveway parking for three vehicles, attractive Herringbone-style timber flooring, a huge, lined attic to suit home officing or even children’s sleepovers, plus there is solar power, water filtration, hydronic heating, split system air conditioning and double glazing throughout.

This is a premium position within easy reach of the best of Chapel Street’s Windsor end and with city-bound trams just metres away, while you have plenty of city-bound trains from Windsor Railway Station and Carlisle Street’s thriving nightlife and shopping also just around the corner.
