4/84-86 Dickens Street
Elwood

An utterly charming, Art Deco classic directly opposite St Kilda Marina and with views to the waters of Port Phillip Bay that extend all the way up to the CBD, this spacious, two bedroom, 'St Helens' apartment is an icon of the waterfront. Under soaring ceilings and with large arched windows, the sense of light and proportion is extraordinary in this boutique apartment that manages to evoke the feeling of a house.

A stone benchtop wraps around to create a welcoming breakfast counter in a SMEG and Lofra-equipped kitchen that overlooks a vast lounge / dining with a functioning fireplace and an exotic backdrop through the foreshore's palm trees to the sea and the city. With plush carpets and built-in robes, each of the bedrooms is a generously-sized sanctuary - one with more views across the Bay - plus there is front and rear access, a communal courtyard and vogue bathroom with a rainwater shower over the spa-bath and a curved vanity, as well as a powder room / laundry, split system heating and air conditioning.

This is a highly sought after inner bayside location that feels wonderfully connected to its waterfront surrounds while offering terrific access to Acland Street cafes, bars, dining, shopping and all the action of St Kilda. There are buses along Barkly Street or hop on the tram in Acland Street which will have you in the heart of the city in 20 minutes.
