4/22B The Esplanade

Waverley Hall has stood on the Upper Esplanade since 1928. Just six apartments share its grand Art Deco mansion-style proportions and front-row position opposite the beach that has never gone out of favour. This house-sized apartment is one of them. The wide front verandah precedes a living room that is generous and full of period detail, with decorative ceilings, polished floorboards and a sense of space that make it clear this was always designed to impress. A dropped bulkhead delineates the dining room without separating the two spaces, keeping the floor plan open and connected while giving each area its own identity. The kitchen looks into the dining room and is fitted with a gas cooktop, under-bench oven and dishwasher. Folding doors open onto an alfresco deck and garden, so the living space extends well beyond what you might expect. Two bedrooms with built-in robes and a study are arranged at one end, sharing a renovated bathroom with shower-over-bath and terrazzo flooring subtly nodding to the era. A walk-in laundry with a second toilet is a detail you do not expect from a home of this vintage, and air conditioning runs throughout. Above, a communal rooftop deck opens out to panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay. Fitzroy Street bars, Acland Street shops, Luna Park, Palais Theatre, St Kilda Baths, The Espy, St Kilda Markets and Catani Gardens are moments away. Route 96 light rail and trams 3A and 16 are at the door. Zoned for St Kilda Primary and Elwood College. An address like this, in a building like this, does not come around often. Waverley Hall tends to hold onto its residents, and for good reason.
