Residence 6/315 Barkly Street

Expressions Of Interest Close 25 June 12.00pm Central to the iconic foreshore, leafy Elwood and the dynamic edge of St Kilda's pulse, this brand-new, north-facing townhouse defies expectations for urban living. Peaceful and secure at the rear of a boutique group, relishing a private garden courtyard with ROW access and the security of basement parking for two, it offers undeniable ease, luxury and lifestyle accessibility, steps from the 96 tram, Dickens Street Grocer and Jerry's Milkbar. An architectural statement from the front, and a serene, stylish retreat within, its red brick exterior gives little away, with the sun-drenched interiors extending over two substantial levels, designed to connect to the outdoors. High ceilings and expanses of glass, including stacked sliders to the upper-level open-plan living room, extend the proportions further, progressing to a northern entertainer's balcony, quaint rooftops and tree-lined horizons. Sleek stone benchtops and Bosch appliances streamline the design of the kitchen, with a wealth of storage and an adjoining bathroom making great use of the layout. Downstairs, two sizable bedrooms with built-in robes share a second, on-trend bathroom, with the main opening to a sunken, no-maintenance garden with artificial turf, curtains of climbing greenery and suspended heating for al-fresco dining. Built to an impeccable standard, high-quality features include split system heating/cooling, double glazing, a European-style laundry, a storage cage, an additional bike hanger, and intercom access. Positioned on the coveted border of Elwood, close to popular coffee haunts, Acland Street's revived wine bar and restaurant scene, and within a short walk via the canal to the beach and Ormond Point for incredible postcard sunsets, its everyday bliss and architectural ease in one.
