12/17 Mitford Street, St Kilda

Perched on the top floor of a character-rich complex with historic architectural appeal, this tastefully renovated apartment stands out as something really exceptional. Enter through lush, tropical-inspired gardens that set the scene for the unique ambience within. Inside, a dedicated entry opens into spacious living and dining area exuding pure elegance. A stunning decorative plaster ceiling and sparkling crystal chandelier add grandeur, while the gas fireplace with stone surrounds and a 100-year-old timber mantle (sourced from Melbourne's wharves) bring warmth and authenticity. This reclaimed timber is echoed throughout, adding a timeless touch. Designed for those who take cooking seriously, the kitchen goes above and beyond with stone benchtops, and a Bosch oven, induction cooktop, microwave, and dishwasher. A sleek pop-up extractor fan maintains clean lines and keeps the leafy outlook unobstructed. An oversized main bedroom flows into a sitting retreat, and a second bedroom cleverly features a pull-out bed with an integrated desk, making it impressively versatile for work and rest. The shared bathroom offers a luxurious rain shower, handheld shower, marble bowl sink and stylish vanity, plus heated towel racks and floors for that extra touch of indulgence. Additional highlights include ducted heating and cooling, instantaneous hot water, original floorboards, a European laundry, car space, and access to both a rear BBQ deck and front porch. Despite its tranquil setting, this apartment is moments from Blessington, Acland, and Barkly Streets, St Kilda Beach, trams, the Palais Theatre, and St Kilda Botanical Gardens, putting the best of this iconic neighbourhood within easy reach. - Top-floor apartment in a character-rich, historic complex - Entry through lush, tropical-inspired gardens sets the ambience - Spacious living area with decorative plaster ceiling and chandelier - Gas fireplace with stone surrounds and reclaimed timber mantle - Kitchen with stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, and sleek extractor fan - Main bedroom with sitting retreat for added comfort - Second bedroom with pull-out bed and integrated desk for versatility - Bathroom with rain shower, marble sink, and heated towel racks & underfloor heating - Ducted heating/cooling, instantaneous hot water, car space - Moments from Acland Street, Palais Theatre, beach, and trams
