A true entertainers delight, this solid brick double fronted Victorian family home won house of the year in 1991! On a massive corner block of approx. 657sqm, and a rear lane, the house actually has the largest frontage to the tree lined elegance of Crimea Street. The home was renovated to the designs of renowned Melbourne architect Allan Powell. Located in one of St Kilda's best positions between Fitzroy Street and Chapel Street Windsor, the home really is one of St Kildas most iconic properties! It has an artistic Tuscan vibe throughout with soaring three-meter ceilings. The stunning open plan kitchen/living room has Carrara marble bench tops and a breath-taking vista through warehouse style glass doors that open up to the designer emerald green swimming pool. The contrast of colours outside is simply stunning, with burnt orange walls and lush greenery, blue mosaic columns and water fountains. The entire back section is built around the expansive courtyards and the massive pool - you would think you were anywhere from Tuscany to St. Tropez. With four king sized bedrooms and an abundance of elegant period features including ceiling roses, marble fireplaces, cornices, and bluestone, it is the sheer size that sets this grand Victorian apart. Two designer bathrooms, a spa, glass shower, separate w/c, sauna, hydronic heating, separate laundry room and an en-suite dressing room, completes the accommodation. A two storey extension contains a double garage, with plenty of storage, above which there is a massive white painted brick creative studio with polished timber boards, tons of natural light and a Juliette balcony overlooking the pool.
