18 Godfrey Avenue, St Kilda East.

Tucked away in a peaceful, tree-lined pocket, this charming period home is more than just a pretty façade. It's a secret gem ready to be polished. With original early 20th-century character and a classic floorplan that invites reinvention, the possibilities here are as rare as they are exciting. Beyond the verandah, a long central hallway framed by timber fretwork and soaring ceilings leads to three spacious bedrooms. One of these is flexible enough to become a stylish sitting room, home office, or creative retreat. The living room sits at the heart, while the kitchen and meals area at the rear open to a deep north-facing courtyard where sun-drenched potential abounds. Think open-plan living with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, a rear extension with floor-to-ceiling glass, a new kitchen with clean lines and integrated appliances, or even a second level that blends heritage with architectural edge (STCA). The scope to modernise without losing the soul and character is utterly compelling. And with lifestyle credentials this strong, including close proximity to Chapel Street, Alma Park, trams, Carlisle Street, Balaclava and Windsor Stations, St Michael's Grammar, and the Astor Theatre, you're buying into one of Melbourne's most culture-rich neighbourhoods. It's comfortable as is, the bones are beautiful, and the scope to transform is undeniable. Your dream home is waiting to be awakened.
