Built in 1920 and perfectly positioned to take advantage of the vibrant and sought after St Kilda lifestyle, this generously proportioned iconic three bedroom apartment is a rare offering in a tightly-held block.
This richly detailed first-floor apartment has been modernised for contemporary living, freshly painted throughout and features new kitchen including brand new appliances, induction cooktop and dishwasher. Original servery opening to separate formal dining room with ornamental open fireplace. Updated bathroom with exquisite claw footed bath, shower over bath, separate toilet and separate laundry. Study or ‘mud room’ includes original antique cabinets. Lounge room includes antique feature mirror. Three substantial bedrooms, one with ornamental open fireplace, two with freestanding wardrobes and two opening onto balcony overlooking Fitzroy Street.
Entrance to apartment is via Acland Street, where original letter boxes, security intercom, dark timber detailing and a European-style staircase nestle behind the historical facade.
Inside the apartment, floor rugs, polished floorboards and electric heating compliment the retained Summerland Mansions features such as soaring 3m ceilings, original French doors and incredibly generous proportions.
Retreat to the quiet, tranquil space of the established private communal gardens accessed via the rear of the property, or walk only footsteps to the beach, the famed Hotel Espy or the lively restaurants of Acland Street.
A rare opportunity not to be missed.
