6/45 Acland Street, St Kilda VIC 3182

Up on Acland Hill – away from the hustle but close to the action – this whisper-quiet apartment offers a low maintenance lifestyle just a zephyr from the shore. Gracing the top floor of a classic c1940 Art Deco building that provides a terrazzo welcome through the communal areas, the home has been refreshed and updated with significant recent investment in a stunning new kitchen.

Secure by an intercom entry to the building, the interiors feature lofty ceilings and warm hardwood floors from the distinct entrance to the inviting lounge showcasing an accent fireplace and spilling out to the balcony. Leafy outlooks are enjoyed from this room and the main bedroom, which benefits from a wall of mirrored built in robes and balcony access, while a wardrobe is also offered in the second bedroom.

The definite showpiece is the brand-new light-splashed kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and lots of thoughtful storage in the custom cabinetry. A new floating vanity and shower screen star in the refreshed bathroom, which also provides space for laundry appliances, while panel heating, hallway storage and the coveted highlight of an off-street parking space round off the package.

Literally metres to the beach and steps to dining options, gourmet outlets and the supermarket, this prime position is close to buses & trams and merely 200m to the glorious botanical gardens.
