57 Octavia Street
St Kilda

Owning a prestigious Charnwood Estate address in the tree-lined serenity of St Kilda Hill, this beautifully renovated and extended solid-brick freestanding home displays a distinct architectural transformation that brings out its ornate charm, whilst offering exceptionally private indoor-outdoor ease. Behind high-fenced gardens and offering secure off-street parking, the charismatic period profile extends into brilliant, north-facing interiors, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and inviting garden connections.

A wide double entry introduces three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with high ceilings and extensive built-in storage, plus a substantial contemporary family bathroom with a bath and a dual-head shower. The living room retains its original open fireplace and opens directly to the outdoors through French doors to the red-brick terrace, while an open study zone leads to a brilliant social domain to the rear, lined with custom storage. Expansive kitchen and dining areas, appointed with stainless steel benchtops, exceptional storage, and hydronic heating support everything from everyday living to large-scale entertaining, with sliding glass doors extending to a second, tree-lined garden and al-fresco zone.

Moments from the vibrancy of Chapel and Fitzroy Street's, Windsor Station, city trams, and St Michael’s Grammar School, the lifestyle setting is as compelling as the home itself, complete with hardwood floors, a cleverly positioned laundry and scullery, substantial attic storage with pull-down ladder, air conditioning, grey-water recycling, and secure parking beyond auto gates
