This cleverly converted 1930’s Art Deco mansion block - “Wansbeck”, has undergone a meticulous top-to-toe transformation to create a magnificent contemporary town residence of exemplary allure. From the moment you lay eyes on this street fronted one of two, brilliantly located in the heart of St Kilda East & nestled beyond a picturesque privately enclosed front garden & red brick heritage façade, you’ll know you’ve found something truly special. Inside, beautifully restored period detail including intricate decorative ceilings, picture rails, fluted glass & original timber flooring blend seamlessly with the modern contemporary comforts of today. You’ll be instantly captivated by the elegantly spacious living & adjoining dining zone highlighted by abundant natural light, soaring ceilings, sheer curtains & bay windows providing gorgeous green outlooks. This breathtaking space is further complemented by a gourmet stone topped kitchen with striking timber lined ceilings, a suite of high end Bosch appliances (including double oven & dishwasher) & an abundance of storage. The downstairs domain also delivers a generous bedroom with built-in robes & desk & a stylish bathroom with terrazzo tiles. The seamless integration of the old with the new extends upstairs to a peaceful landing retreat/study, luxurious main bedroom with balcony access & luxe ensuite, two additional good sized bedrooms with built-in robes & a stunning central bathroom with rain shower & bath. Other attributes include split system heating/cooling, wine cellar/storage space, enclosed single carport behind auto security front gates, intercom entry & Euro laundry. This rare opportunity in a convenient lifestyle location is just moments from the vibrant shops, restaurants & cafes of Carlisle Street, with a choice of transport options as well as Alma Park & Chapel Street close by.
