26 Edward Street

Exclusive hideaway metres from one of Melbourne's best beaches, "Kuliang" offers resort-style living at its finest. The rare combination of a prestige family home and large land is outstanding, with six bedrooms, a series of indoor and outdoor living spaces for year-round indulgence, and a pool and exercise studio for fun and fitness. Come home to a 943 square metres (approx.) estate in a tightly held beachside street, and appreciate the magnificent transformation of this circa 1916 home. There's everything you want for stylish living and grand-scale entertaining, including a light-filled family room with a fireplace for wintry days, a media room, classic lounge, dining zone with bifold doors out a vast deck area and al fresco fire-place, and a home office/sixth bedroom. The large poolside pavilion features a kitchenette, a vast span of bifold doors and a powder room, and is the perfect teenage retreat or guest wing. Tranquil and private living enhances this fine home, thanks to views of the large landscaped garden from all main rooms, generous setbacks, plantation shutters, and a high front fence with remote-control gates and video intercom access. Excellent design includes a parents' retreat with an ensuite and treetop views, there's bedrooms on both levels, three bathrooms, two Smeg ovens in the spacious kitchen, hydronic heating, reverse-cycle and split-system air conditioning, security cameras and an alarm. "Kuliang" has evolved into a luxurious oasis while retaining original leadlight, fretwork and Edwardian elegance. It's where you can surround yourself with the calm that comes from botanical beauty, thanks to privacy hedging, a soaring date palm, crepe myrtle and olive trees. The location is just as wonderful, with the sheltered Edward Street beach at the end of the street, a dog park, tennis courts and a playground metres away, and Sandringham Village, schools and farmers' markets close by.
