Special Art Deco Apartment + Spectacular Bay Views
Great top-floor, two-bedroom (Q, Double Sofa Bed) seaside apartment in one of St Kilda’s most iconic Art Deco buildings. Original features. Set on Upper Esplanade with uninterrupted beach and bay views. Step onto the sand and stroll to The Espy, Palais Theatre, Luna Park, Acland Street and St Kilda Pier with penguins. Relax on the balcony with breathtaking sunsets, enjoy spacious living, modern comforts, secure parking, A/C, Wi-Fi, laundry — the ultimate St Kilda lifestyle in a magical location.
Enjoy sweeping bay views, golden sunsets and the unmistakable buzz of St Kilda living. Positioned on the Upper Esplanade in one of St Kilda’s most iconic Art Deco buildings, this top floor apartment with original Art Deco features delivers a front-row seat to Melbourne’s most famous and popular beach.
Directly overlooking St Kilda Beach and Port Phillip Bay beyond, the apartment offers nightly sunset shows, cooling sea breezes and the luxury of simply crossing the road to sink your toes into the sand and ocean water. This is, without question, one of the best and most special locations in St Kilda and Melbourne.
Within a short 600-metre stroll, you’ll find everything that makes the area legendary:
• Famous St Kilda Beach on Port Phillip Bay.
• The Little Penguins returning to St Kilda Pier at dusk.
• The historic Esplanade Hotel (The Espy) with its famous live music and restaurants.
• The Palais Theatre for world-class live performances.
• Luna Park, family fun park with its iconic giant mouth Mr Moon entrance.
• Acland Street’s cafés, restaurants and famous cake shops.
• Melbourne’s most popular tram routes, including the No. 96, conveniently right at your doorstep.
On Sundays, simply walk across the road to The Esplanade Markets, a vibrant showcase of local art, crafts and original creations.
Two of Melbourne’s most celebrated festivals unfold right outside your door. The Midsumma Festival transforms the foreshore each summer from mid-January to early February with a vibrant celebration of LGBTQIA+ arts and culture, culminating in the iconic Pride March along nearby Fitzroy Street. In mid-February, the St Kilda Festival takes over the beach with free live music, performances, family activities, outdoor cinema and beach sports — an unforgettable summer experience.
Back at the apartment, the balcony steals the show. Watch beachgoers below, yachts gliding across the bay and spectacular sunsets that never disappoint. Pull up a stool, pour a spritz or crack a local brew and soak in Melbourne’s Riviera-style outlook.
Inside, the building’s Art Deco charm is immediately apparent, from the terrazzo foyer floors to the stunning leadlight windows on the stairs. The two-bedroom apartment continues the theme with original Art Deco lighting and striking Indigenous artwork collected by the owner — a flying doctor and film maker whose award winning film, Aboriginal Heart, portrayed the true story of a doctor working in Australia’s outback, and connecting to the local Indigenous women who saw a great opportunity to show and sell him their beautiful artwork.
The dining area seats four and is framed by the beautiful artworks. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking, with essential pantry supplies, a coffee machine with pods and a selection of popular teas.
The living room enjoys a breathtaking bay outlook and is designed for comfort, featuring a large sofa, leather armchair with ottoman, butterfly chair, large smart screen TV and a Bose Bluetooth speaker for music lovers.
The main bedroom offers a queen bed, a decorative Art Deco fireplace and generous built-in robes.
The second bedroom includes a double sofa bed with full bedding supplied and a desk by the window that is ideal for work-from-home stays.
A classic Art Deco bathroom completes the space, featuring original mirrored details, plus a washer/dryer machine, clothes rack, retro heater, iron and ironing board.
Additional apartment features include:
• Reverse-cycle air conditioning in the living area.
• Panel heating in the hall.
• Free high-speed Wi-Fi.
• Two secure undercover car spaces with remote control access.
• Unrestricted and restricted on street parking.
Everything has been thoughtfully provided for a comfortable and memorable stay in a truly special and spectacular apartment, right in the heart of popular, ever-changing St Kilda.
Come, stay, and immerse yourself in everything sensational that St Kilda has to offer.
