At the rear of a boutique block, this beautifully presented townhouse finds its stride in privacy, light and location. The energy of Carlisle Street is just moments away, yet the leafy courtyard entry creates an instant sense of calm, stepping through to a sun-drenched interior where easy living and relaxed entertaining are at the forefront. Within, timber floors sweep across open-plan living and dining areas, with the well-appointed kitchen at one end and a north-west terrace spilling out at the other. All-day sun fills the space, setting up an easy flow no matter the weather, whilst upstairs, three bedrooms continue the light-filled mood, two with balconies of their own and each fitted with generous built-in robes. The central bathroom is sleek and stylish with a twin vanity, complemented by a ground-floor laundry and second WC. Everyday detail hasn’t been overlooked, with split system heating/cooling, Rinnai gas heating, automated gated entry, intercom and an internal-access remote garage. While the interiors deliver serenity and independence, the location plugs straight into Melbourne living. Cafes, restaurants and wine bars line the street, trams run moments from the door, and Balaclava Station is within walking distance, whilst a little further along, St Kilda’s foreshore brings the bay into play. For first-home buyers or investors, it’s the rare mix of privacy, sunlight and lifestyle that keeps this pocket so tightly held.
