A Waterfront Landmark Reborn

An 19th-century jewel positioned on Melbourne’s most iconic waterfront boulevard; this grand Victorian terrace of 800 sqm (approx.) internally has been breathtakingly reborn by an incomparable full renovation designed by industry luminary Stephen Akehurst. One of only two that remain of illustrious Queens Mansions, a distinctive 1880s Boom style row comparable to East Melbourne’s famous Tasma Terrace, its classical proportions have been transformed into a jaw-dropping family living and entertaining sanctuary over four lift-accessed levels with multiple living areas, sumptuous private pool, separately accessed staff quarters, a breathtaking rooftop terrace offering 360-degree views of the Bay, its beaches and the CBD skyline, and the ultimate inner-city indulgence, a private six-car garage. Built at a similar time to other waterfront icons Hotel Victoria, Kilbride, Hughendon and nearby Beaconsfield Hotel, its colonnades and balconies have witnessed the changing face of St Kilda but it’s its exquisite recent renovation that has returned it to its rightful place as one of St Kilda’s finest homes.

Utterly unforgettable accommodation includes two grand reception rooms of stunning proportions with soaring ceilings, marble open fireplaces and extensive display and built in storage, open plan family living and dining areas with gas fireplace flowing to poolside entertaining with built in BBQ kitchen, custom-designed Miele kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer, induction cooktop, steam oven, two dishwashers and large butler’s pantry, giant home theatre, gym with sauna, seven luxurious ensuite bedrooms including a lavish main bedroom suite with fully fitted walk-in robe, dressing room, marble ensuite and deep original balcony with leafy views to the Bay, self-contained single bedroom apartment ideal for nanny/housekeeper or home office with separate second street entry, hydronic heating, ducted heating/cooling, herringbone patterned European Oak Floors, signature wall paneling, architectural light fittings, comprehensive security and six car remote garage discretely accessed via Scoops Lane/Park Street.
