42 Vale Street
St Kilda

Architecturally remarkable and inherently calm, this Davidov Architects-designed stand alone residence creates an outstanding space within a prized lifestyle precinct, bridging the sanctuary found in its north-facing garden serenity with the lively appeal of its surroundings. In a no-through street, a short walk from trams and the Acland Street and Carlisle Street dining precincts, it offers retreat and luxury with everything that makes St Kilda so desirable within minutes.

An imposing solid-brick façade gives way to light-filled interiors, where high ceilings and heated tiled floors extend throughout, complemented by expansive glazing that draws every space toward the surrounding gardens. Evoking a genuine sense of stillness and privacy, the open-plan living and dining area unfolds to greenery on three sides, enhanced by northern sun, a durable eco-deck, mains gas barbecue, and low-maintenance landscaping designed for relaxed outdoor living. The kitchen continues the streamlined aesthetic with premium black stone surfaces, twin NEFF ovens, an Asko dishwasher, ZipTap, beverage drawer, and full butler’s pantry, while surround sound amplifies the atmosphere.

A home office/sitting room overlooking the front garden and an adjoining bathroom add versatility with the ability to adapt for work or guests, with three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms perfectly zoned on the first floor, headlined by the vast north-facing main suite enjoying a luxurious en-suite and motorised block-out blinds. Finishes are flawless, highlighted by full-height pivot doors, square-set ceilings, double glazing, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, a video intercom, CCTV, an alarm system, a motorised external awning, and louvre blinds. Automated gates provide parking for three cars, including an oversized remote double garage with internal access. Peacefully situated within a no-through street, yet just moments from St Kilda Primary School, the Palais, National Theatres, the beach, and city-bound transport, it captures the essence of modern inner city living.
