7 Mary Street, St Kilda West, Vic 3182

A distinguished presence on the area's most prestigious tree-lined streets, this balconied Victorian residence is a hallmark of period beauty and refreshing modern style just metres from the iconic Catani Gardens. Unique with its gothic revival detailing, off-street secure parking for two cars to the rear, and naturally bright, dual-level interior, it emphasises allure with a prominent solid-brick facade and timeless cast-iron lacework.

Infinitely endearing with hallmark period features, elegant formal living and dining areas take in the iconic leafy views of the plane trees, underpinned by original open fireplaces and high ornate ceilings. Beautifully presented with oak wide-board flooring and loop-pile carpeting throughout, the home then flows to the rear beyond the gothic archway to the bright kitchen and meals zone, effortlessly blending modern ease with exceptional function, appointed with European appliances and sleek stone bench tops.

A flowing second storey reveals four substantial bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom, including the generous main bedroom with access to the picturesque west-facing balcony. Enviably located within walking distance of the 96 tram, Fitzroy Street's vibrant dining and cafe precinct, excellent schools, and Albert Park Lake and parklands, it boasts a comprehensive and easily accessed ROW at the rear, a concealed European laundry, powder room, and split system heating/cooling.
