52 Park Street
St Kilda West

Behind its magnificent Victorian façade, this landmark terrace has been architecturally redesigned by Steve Domoney to connect an original 19th-century form with expansive garden-linked interiors and a rooftop terrace oriented to long-range views across the city skyline. With secure parking for three via a second frontage to Park Lane, a full suite of high-spec appointments and poolside entertaining below, it delivers one of the area’s most compelling residential offerings.

Original reception rooms remain richly appointed, introduced via a wide central hall and defined by marble fireplaces, ornate ceilings and generous proportions. From this formal foundation, the residence expands toward a contemporary open-plan domain where northern light, natural stone and full-height glazing shape the outlook to a west-facing terrace with an inbuilt BBQ, self-cleaning pool and spa. Heated floors and a gas fireplace reinforce the sense of permanence and composure, while an internal courtyard introduces layered natural light into the adjoining kitchen, richly appointed with honed marble surfaces, premium Gaggenau and Miele appliances, integrated Liebherr refrigeration and a large butler’s pantry.

Accommodation extends across the upper level, with a decadent main suite occupying the northern wing. A lavish ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath, fitted dressing room, and a private terrace sits beneath towering ceilings, matched by five additional robed bedrooms, two with ensuites, a fitted study zone. Above, the rooftop terrace offers uninterrupted perspective across the leafy treetops and glistening skyline, whilst below, a full entertainer’s bar, temperature-controlled wine display cellar, gym studio and lounge with pool-view window add a layer of depth to the home’s impeccable layout.

Exclusively positioned within 200m of Catani Gardens and only moments from the foreshore, Armstrong Street village and leading schools, the home is comprehensively appointed with hydronic and underfloor heating (to the basement, main living and bathrooms), zoned RC/air conditioning, home automation, keyless entry, alarm, CCTV and video intercom. Double glazing, garden irrigation, remote gates, a powder room, pool-accessible bathroom, large laundry with drying cupboard, extensive storage and a double remote garage with loft-storage reflect the level of finish expected in a residence of this stature.
