23 Odessa Street, St Kilda.

An inspired architectural addition and transformation by award-winning architect Warren Foster superbly complement the sumptuous Art Deco origins, adding sophisticated contemporary style to this captivating c1924 residence. Within the evocative Art Deco exterior, wide Oak floors and sleek lines exude a light-filled contemporary ambience through the entrance foyer and generous formal lounge, set beneath high ceilings with atmospheric sunlight streaming in from the sunroom. A European-designed kitchen is as supremely stylish as it is eminently functional, draped in waterfall marble benchtops and fully equipped with Smeg appliances, including dual pyrolytic ovens. Sliding wall-to-wall glass accentuates the sense of space and light in the open plan living and dining room, extending to a stunning landscaped west-facing garden deck and surrounded by leafy greenery, ideal for al fresco dining. Two ground floor bedrooms include the primary suite with a full wall of robes and chic ensuite with a deluxe bathtub, accompanied by two additional bedrooms upstairs, each with robes, decked terrace access, lounge retreat and a designer bathroom. In a breathtaking garden setting, it is exclusively nestled within easy walking distance to a host of restaurants, cafes and bars, city-bound trams, Alma Park, and includes plantation shutters, ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, original curved fireplace, reverse-cycle AC upstairs, professionally landscaped gardens, CCTV and secure off-street car space with side-street access.
