249b Barkly Street, St Kilda

Aptly named 'Hideaway' given its tucked-away setting in a boutique block of three, this unique townhouse has been architecturally designed with innovative flair to accentuate the flow of natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Creating a striking statement from the moment you open the door, the interior incorporates a generous living and dining room and streamlined open-plan kitchen appointed with Miele oven and gas cooktop, drawer dishwasher, provision for a concealed fridge/freezer, and on-trend subway tiled splashbacks. Sliding doors link to a landscaped alfresco sanctuary immersed in peace and privacy. A custom crafted timber staircase provides excellent separation between the living/dining zone and bedroom, which showcases built-in robes, a sun-kissed window seat, room for a study nook, and 'mile-high' ceilings adding voluminous vertical dimension. Brilliantly finished throughout, the one-of-a-kind home also features a secure car space, intercom entry, reverse-cycle air conditioner, energy-efficient hydronic heating, floorboards, lime-washed wooden ceilings enhancing the visual aesthetics, and laundry facilities inventively wrapped in timber. Walk to an array of lifestyle amenities, including St Kilda Botanical Gardens, Peanut Farm Reserve, the beach, transport, and Acland Street's bars, cafés, restaurants, and shops. If you're looking for a first home, investment, or bayside pied-à-terre, this is a must-add to your must-see list.
