Unit 3/27 Jackson Street, St Kilda.

Step inside this Art Deco apartment and be immediately captivated by the wonderful sense of charm. An exceptional rarity of a lock-up garage, the home is so whisper-quiet that it's hard to believe that Fitzroy Street's sidewalk cafés, bars, pedestrian parade and city light rail are only one block away. Soaring high decorative ceilings add dramatic dimension to the good-size layout that includes a timber-panelled entry introducing the heated living and dining room, semi open-plan kitchen topped in timber, genuinely massive main bedroom with a wall of built-in robes, a second rear bedroom and a refurbished bathroom. A front porch is an idyllic spot to kickstart the day with a morning coffee or relax at the end of the day with a glass of wine. Surrounded by colourful communal gardens, the delightful lifestyle retreat is also close to the beach, Albert Park, Acland Street, the Espy, and Black Star Pastry – home of the 'world's most Instagrammed watermelon cake'.
