36 Gibbs Street, Balaclava.

As captivating from the street as it is within, this period home opens to a renovation of generous proportions, soaring volume and modern comfort. Two large bedrooms line the hall, the main with its own ensuite powder room, before the home opens into something unexpected. The rear has been completely reimagined. With walls gone and lofty ceilings overhead, floorboards stretch through a vast living and dining room. Skylights draw daylight deep inside, the Smeg-appointed kitchen sits ready at one end, and two sets of sliding doors peel back to blur the lines between inside and out. The deck, lawn and covered entertaining zone invite everything from relaxed brunches and barbecues to late-night gatherings. A third bedroom is cleverly tucked beside the vibrant blue-tiled bathroom and walk-in laundry. A secure garage is a rare asset in this neighbourhood, with split-system air conditioning, a Koonara-style gas heater and handy side access. The setting is quiet yet near to everything. Carlisle Street is a short walk for coffee, cocktails, global eats, eclectic shopping and culture. Trams and Balaclava Station keep the city conveniently close, while weekends open up with Elwood Beach, St Kilda Botanical Gardens and Ripponlea's dining scene only minutes away.
