St Kilda East

An extraordinary, designer's own masterpiece, this grand, two bedroom, Italianate Victorian apartment has been comprehensively renovated from top-to-bottom to blend contemporary aesthetics with remarkable functionality and the building's original 1890s heritage. With a bold eye for excellence and a rare commitment to detail, renowned interior designer Chelsea Hing has elevated the home to the very pinnacle of urban apartment dwelling, in this highly coveted and rarely offered iconic building.

Under towering ceilings with ornate cornices and Black Japan stained Baltic Pine flooring, the open-plan kitchen / dining / lounge is enhanced by the visual appeal of one of the building's original fire places and overlooked by a superior kitchen in which natural marble surfaces complement stainless steel benches, Miele appliance and volumes of soft close cabinetry. A statement in style, the bathroom / laundry reveals feature glass paneling and a marble-topped floating wall-mounted vanity, whilst the bedroom is a divine indulgence with walk-in robes. Accessed securely via intercom entry, this exclusive residence is well-proportioned for work-from-home requirements with secure front parking and the comfort of split system heating and cooling.

Directly opposite the vast and verdant expanses of Alma Park, this privileged urban position is also within easy reach of a wonderful diversity of cafes, bars, restaurants and shopping, both on Carlisle St and on Chapel St as well as city-bound trams and trains from Windsor Railway Station.
