53 Esplanade West
Port Melbourne

Only one block from the beach and Bay Street’s renowned dining strip, this impressive, dual-level, solid-brick Victorian reveals a contemporary sun-filled facing extension that channels natural light through the interiors and opens to a private north-west poolside rear yard.

Period character and modern design sit side by side, from the high ornate ceilings and open fireplaces, to the soaring void that draws light across the rear living domain. The layout moves easily between a formal sitting room (OFP) and a family-focused open plan zone, guided by Tasmanian oak floors and a well-appointed kitchen with granite benchtops. Sliding glass doors connect to the paved courtyard, where lush greenery climbs the boundary walls, framing the fully-tiled pool in leafy privacy and offering an idyllic backdrop to exclusive al-fresco dining and entertaining. Generous accommodation ascends upstairs, where a robed main bedroom enjoys balcony access and its own open fireplace, joined by two additional bedrooms, one with robes, and a central bathroom.

Zoned for Albert Park College and positioned within a quiet, tree-lined street steps from Lagoon Reserve, popular cafes and dining options, and with the light rail link within a short walk, it’s an outstanding city-edge base, complete with a second WC, hydronic heating, keyless entry, split system cooling, attic storage and a bike shed.
