13 Moodie Place, St KildaVIC

This stunningly renovated, freestanding Victorian combines architectural design brilliance with modern style to create the perfect house to come home to. An extra-wide entry adorned with soaring 12-feet pressed metal ceilings and black Baltic Pine floorboards in contrast to the vivid white walls creates a striking introduction to the interior. Everyday activities and entertaining flow between the spacious living room and the generous dining area where an adjoining retreat delivers yet another space to unwind with a book or a coffee. Resting beneath breathtakingly high 18-feet ceilings is an intelligently integrated mezzanine home office looking down onto the superb kitchen - an efficiently planned cooking hub with its 900mm stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher and ample work and storage space. The two bedrooms share a wow-factor bathroom with soak tub, glass-framed shower, twin vanities and a cleverly placed skylight extending from the central hallway that drenches both spaces in natural light. A low-maintenance alfresco area together with a bullnose verandah and garden at the front cater to enjoyable outside relaxation. Including prized off-street parking behind a roller door (ROW laneway access), concealed laundry facilities, hydronic heating, split-system air conditioner, four fireplaces, striking light fittings and splashes of colour throughout, it doesn't get better. A cul-de-sac setting creates a peaceful sense of sanctuary for this unique home that is merely moments from Windsor Station, city trams, Chapel and Fitzroy Streets and Albert Park.
