295 Barkly StreetSt Kilda

Rich with solid-brick character, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-carpark home blends the timeless allure of Edwardian elegance with contemporary comfort. From the moment you step across the tessellated-tile entry into the arched hallway, true craftsmanship is revealed under towering ceilings. Three generously scaled bedrooms sit at the front of a traditional layout, two with built-in robes, and all featuring exquisite ceiling art and ornate fireplaces. An air-conditioned living room is framed by an open fireplace, flowing to the kitchen and dining zone, underpinned by an original red-brick chimney and fitted with a brand-new Glem freestanding oven/five-burner gas cooktop. A paved rear courtyard and sheltered terrace are ideal for alfresco entertaining, while a double carport with right-of-way laneway access adds everyday convenience. Freshly painted throughout, take advantage of a heated bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower, separate laundry, ducted heating, split-system heating/cooling, attic storage with a drop-down ladder, and landscaped gardens. Further period detail includes wrought-iron fencing, a decorative facade crowned by a striking gargoyle, Baltic pine floorboards, cornice and skirting work, picture rails, lead-lighting, chandeliers, and wall sconces. Set between Acland Street and Elwood Village, pick up your morning coffee from Dickens Street Grocer and stroll to your choice of St Kilda Botanical Gardens, the Bay Trail, or your own local beach. Families will appreciate the zoning to St Kilda Primary School and Elwood College, while commuters enjoy easy access to city-bound trams. Inspect this period gem today!
