3/17A Fitzroy Street, St Kilda

Perfectly positioned to take advantage of the vibrant St Kilda lifestyle, this iconic Summerland Mansions apartment is a rare offering in a tightly-held, highly prized block. Built in 1920 on the first piece of Crown Land to ever be sold in St Kilda, Summerland Mansions is one of Melbourne's most iconic, historically charming landmarks. Situated on one of St Kilda's most sought-after parcels of land, Summerland Mansions was one of the first European-style apartment blocks in Melbourne and features a sophisticated mix of inter-war and classical arts and crafts architecture. Featuring approx. 175m2 of living space, this richly detailed first-floor apartment has been modernised for contemporary living and features three bedrooms (two with BIRs, main opening to bar balcony off second living). A fully renovated kitchen, bathroom and laundry, flow through to a relaxed family room, dining room and second north-facing living room (OFP) with picture frame windows of the St Kilda palm trees, Cantani Gardens, St Kilda pier, and beyond. Entrance to Apartment Three is via Acland Street, where original letter boxes, security intercom, dark timber detailing and a European-style staircase nestle behind the historical facade. Inside the apartment, polished Jarrah floorboards, gas heating, an antique finish mirror and built-in display cabinetry compliment the retained Summerland Mansions features such as soaring 3m ceilings, original French doors and incredibly generous proportions. Retreat to the quiet, tranquil space of the established private communal gardens accessed via the rear of the property, or walk only footsteps to the beach, the famed Hotel Esplanade or the lively restaurants of Acland Street. A rare, once-in-a-lifetime offering, this piece of St Kilda history is an opportunity not to be missed.
