9/34 Barkly Street

Quietly tucked at the rear of a boutique Art Deco enclave of just nine residences, this immaculately presented top-floor corner apartment offers a compelling blend of period beauty, thoughtful renovation, and a lifestyle position that speaks for itself. Surrounded by lush gardens, the setting feels like a private retreat while placing Fitzroy Street dining, the St Kilda foreshore and tram connections to the city all within easy reach. Inside, high ceilings and rich timber floors reflect a timeless character that carries through every room. The spacious living area is a genuinely beautiful space, bathed in light from multi-aspect windows and centred by an open fireplace. Flowing through to a well-appointed kitchen with quality Ilve oven, gas cooktop, integrated dishwasher and seamless cabinetry, there is ample bench space and room for a full dining setting, making daily life simple and convenient. Two generously scaled bedrooms sit privately on the opposite side of a central landing. The main bedroom is elegant, with a calm, restful feel, while the light-filled second bedroom is equally well suited to serving as a study or home office. The stylishly renovated bathroom is finished with matte black fixtures, a frameless glass rain shower, backlit mirror and smart inbuilt storage, striking the perfect balance between contemporary style and Art Deco sensibility. With its top-floor corner position and rear aspect, this apartment feels remarkably peaceful for such a connected location. Fitzroy Street's cafes and restaurants sit moments away, with the Esplanade Hotel and the waterfront all part of an exceptional Bayside lifestyle. Trams along St Kilda Road connect you directly to the CBD, while Chapel Street's shopping and dining precinct is close at hand. A beautifully kept character-rich home where effortless St Kilda living is right at your door.
