7/12 York St, St Kilda West VIC 3182, Australia

Part of a striking Deco building that’s generously laid out around lovingly tended gardens, this ground floor home has been updated for modern comfort while respectfully preserving its period adornments. 

Retaining hardwood floors, geometric ceilings, picture rails, original doors and solid textured walls right through, this easy-living home comprises a sunny living room anchored by a fireplace through to a stone kitchen with terrific storage and Smeg gas cooking. Also features two bedrooms (one with mirrored robes) served by a well maintained bathroom that’s cute as a button, laundry facility and RC/AC.

Just 400m from the beach and on the fringe of St Kilda’s beating heart – take a stroll to Fitzroy Street for cafes and restaurants and continue on to the foreshore and everything it has to offer. Or head to Cowderoy’s dairy for a quiet morning coffee on the way to Albert Park Lake.
