20/17 Robe Street, St KildaVIC

Dazzlingly contemporary yet steeped in French history, this one-bedroom apartment is an inimitable blend of two exceptional eras, delivering an easy-breezy lifestyle at the heart of all that St Kilda has to offer. A leisurely wander into Acland St, The Esplanade and Fitzroy St’s endless bars, cafés and restaurants, and just a hop, skip and jump to the sandy beaches, it’s a lifestyle to fall in love with.

Beyond its secure entry, the breathtaking façade and foyer of the original mansion, ‘Alliance Française’, is retained, showcasing the immaculate architecture of its Californian Bungalow epoch through a jaw-dropping ceiling and intricate old-world timberwork.

The modern addition of apartment living delivers indoor-outdoor sanctuary, offering a leafy, full-width balcony to its open plan layout. A chic setting of trendy finishes for easy relaxation or vibrant get-togethers, the home is catered to by a fully appointed Miele kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer, while adding practicality with a built-in desk and shelving.

Enjoying easy amenity with a sparkling, two-way ensuite to the bedroom, and oodles of storage including built-in robes, the home is cocooned in comfort and security, including split system air-conditioning, swipe entry, and lift access to the basement parking and storage cage.
