3 York Street
St Kilda West

Elevated by an award-winning design and a 10m* wide frontage in the area’s most highly-regarded tree-lined street, this freestanding, double brick residence with secure off-street parking for one celebrates heritage character and contemporary ingenuity just minutes from the beach.

Every element of this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been transformed and polished to celebrate light, volume and connection to the lush outdoors, producing an inviting escape that feels both grounded and spacious. Commended within the 2017 and 2018 TIDA Homes Awards and featured in The Local Project, it showcases Spotted Gum floors and high, square-set ceilings that emphasise the sleek modernity flowing into open-plan living and dining areas, where clean lines and natural textures create a warm yet sophisticated interior.

The gourmet kitchen is a stunning centrepiece with Italian marble benchtops, large Velux operable skylight, 2 Pac cabinetry, and integrated De Dietrich and Liebherr appliances, effortlessly flowing to a high-fenced courtyard through double-glazed doors that fully retract. Designed for easy indoor-outdoor living, it is framed by lush but low-maintenance greenery, with thoughtful additions like a Centor sliding fly screen for summer comfort, a rain-sensor awning, and an ample hidden storage space, ideal for bikes and paddleboards.

Two generous ground-floor robed bedrooms share a sublime central bathroom with a Velux skylight that optimises light, thanks to soaring ceilings and a large integrated European laundry. Above, the parent's retreat continues the tranquillity with a study/sitting room opening to a balcony and a sanctuary-like main suite boasting a walk-in robe and designer ensuite, which places a freestanding bath beneath a glass ceiling.

Luxuries abound, from an incredible amount of integrated storage, including a deep, fully-lined roof cavity with easy access, electronic blinds (upper level and living room), hydronic heating, reverse-cycle A/C, underfloor electric bathroom heating, and a 1,550L underground water tank, to garden irrigation, all within a quick stroll from Frankie's Top Shop Cafe, Middle Park Village, the foreshore, Albert Park Lake and the 96 and 12 trams.
