20/350 Beaconsfield Parade, St Kilda West, VIC, 3182, Australia

As authentic as St Kilda could be, with views across Catani Gardens to the waters of Port Phillip Bay and the recently completed Pier, this tastefully refurbished single bedroom apartment is a third-floor classic with secure parking at the rear. Holding pride of place within one of the waterfront’s most iconic buildings with the added prize of a communal swimming pool, this is a fully secure lifestyle abode in a dream position.

Perfectly evoking St Kilda’s rich heritage as a seaside retreat and infusing it with a 21st Century urban edge, the apartment reveals a bright kitchen / meals / living with a stone countertop, stainless steel appliances that include an electric oven and terrific views. Fully secure with video entry, the apartment also highlights a subway-tiled bathroom, built-in robes in the bedroom, coded keyless entry and a concealed laundry.

Capturing the pulse of the inner bayside, directly opposite one of its most magnetic shorelines, yours is the opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle of morning swims at the beach, runs along the foreshore and penguins at dusk, plus you have countless local coffee spots including Cowderoy Diary and West Beach Pavilion, while the nearby dining is first class, the Espy always beckons and city access via tram or light rail couldn’t possibly be easier.
