Expressions Of Interest Closing Tue 4 Aug 5.00pm. Wrapped in leafy seclusion at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this is boutique bayside living at its best. A signature creation of celebrated architect Nonda Katsalidis, the elevated two-bedroom apartment presents as a designer sanctuary where light, greenery and coastal St Kilda style unite at one of the suburb's most coveted addresses. Bathed in sunshine, the generous north-facing living and dining domain stretches across polished concrete floors and frames green outlooks. Full-height black-framed windows dissolve the line between inside and out, opening onto a private balcony, an idyllic perch for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons, or sunset entertaining. The stylish galley kitchen is primed for casual cooking and weekend hosting, appointed with quality stainless-steel appliances, gas cooking, ample storage and a servery window opening to the dining zone for effortless gatherings. Two serene bedrooms feature built-in robes, with the second sliding open to the living room, ready to reinvent itself as a home office, sitting room or guest retreat, while a striking mosaic-tiled bathroom is appointed with a bathtub, walk-in shower and European laundry. Year-round comfort is assured with gas hydronic heating throughout and split-system air-conditioning, while a basement car space, secure intercom entry, storage options and a tranquil garden setting complete an exceptional package. The lifestyle on offer is hard to match. Wander to Acland Street's legendary cake shops, buzzing cafes and beloved institutions like Stokehouse and Café Di Stasio, or meander down the foreshore, Catani Gardens and the Esplanade. Trams take you into the CBD, with Albert Park Lake, the beach, and the bay trails all within an easy stroll. A rare and special opportunity to claim a design-led residence of real architectural pedigree in one of Bayside's most sought-after enclaves.
