7/4 Loch Street, St Kilda West

Set in a boutique block, this two-bedroom apartment combines enduring Art Deco detail with a clean, updated finish in the heart of bayside. It's solid, smart and has been modernised with care, without losing the charm that makes it unique. High ornate ceilings and timber floors bring warmth and texture, while the layout is well-proportioned and intuitive. The living room is generous, filled with natural light, and anchored by original arched shelving that adds quiet character. The kitchen has been updated with gas cooking and a dishwasher. Both bedrooms are a good size and include built-in robes. The bathroom is practical, with a shower-over-bath and integrated laundry. Every part of the floorplan serves a purpose with no wasted corners or awkward transitions. Then there's the location. Set on a quiet street just off Fitzroy Street, you're perfectly positioned between the city and the bay. Walk to Albert Park Lake or the beach, grab a coffee or dinner around the corner, or jump on a tram to the CBD. With everything within easy reach, including Catani Gardens, MSAC and local cafés, restaurants and bars, there's no need for a car. This is a home that respects its architectural roots but delivers on the things that matter: layout, light, location, and long-term value.
