434 St Kilda Street

Hidden away yet only metres from beach access, this home has charm and contemporary quality in perfect proportion. It's opposite the Golden Mile, and with effortless entry from Harwood Street, it's the home to have if you love the idea of beachside living and having a bay view at your front gate. What started life as a classic 1920s home is now streamlined and showcasing contemporary spaciousness, thanks to a meticulous renovation. Open-plan living extends into a kitchen you'll be proud of, with thick granite benches and impressive Miele appliances including a steam oven. From here you can admire the easy-care walled garden, which extends out to a large undercover enclosed deck for year-round al fresco dining. With three spacious bedrooms plus a fourth bedroom or study, this single-level design retains original period features and matches them with today's quality. The home features hydronic heating and a open gas fireplace, ducted heating and air conditioning, double glazed bedroom windows, European bathroom fittings by Mary Noall, restored timber floors, remote-control double gates, intercom entry, and security features. Set behind a high fence and so well located, this is a dream come true for Prestige living close to the bay, cafes, waterfront restaurants, schools and Elsternwick Park. Due Diligence Checklist
