3/17A Fitzroy Street

Expressions of Interest Commanding a bayfront position within the tightly held Summerland Mansions, this three-bedroom apartment (150 sqm approx) places one of St Kilda's most recognisable addresses directly at your doorstep, with uninterrupted bay views stretching past the palms and marina. Dating back to 1920 and set on one of the suburb's earliest released parcels of Crown land, the building's inter-war and arts and crafts influences remain intact, which is immediately evident at the Acland Street entry, where original letterboxes, timber detailing, and a European staircase introduce residence three. House-sized proportions define the layout, with two substantial living zones and a separate dining room, creating flexibility rarely seen in apartment living and, in turn, allowing each space to respond to different times of day. The formal living captures the bay outlook and centres around a contemporary wood fire, while the kitchen connects easily to the rear, appointed with stainless steel appliances, timber benchtops and a laundry that doubles as a butler's pantry. Three bedrooms include two with robes, the main one opening directly to the waterfront terrace. Complete with split system heating/cooling, revived original Jarrah floors and soaring 3m-high ceilings with original detailing, this exceptional home also enjoys access to the lush, private communal gardens to the rear, while the beach, Hotel Esplanade, Acland Street and Fitzroy Street dining, plus the 96 tram are all steps away, linking directly to the CBD and beyond.
