12 Empress Road, St Kilda East, Vic 3183

Original beauty and character meld fluidly with relaxed and comfortable living in this engaging Edwardian. Making the most of the depth of the block, it's a generously proportioned home you'll love, from its postcard perfect exterior to the two huge bedrooms with built-in robes, the central living room and the open-plan dining room serviced by a modern kitchen with wide oven and cooktop and Bosch stainless-steel dishwasher. Entertain and unwind on the sun-kissed, north-facing alfresco patio beside the sparkling, glass-fenced solar/gas-heated swimming pool and spa. With lofty ceilings adorned with roses creating a sense of spectacular vertical dimension, the home also features ducted heating, fireplaces, fretwork, leadlight, handy attic storage reached via a pull-down ladder and a private front courtyard. Head down the road to tram stops and train station, walk to Greenmeadows Gardens and when you want to shop or eat out, stroll to the beating heart of nearby Carlisle Street, which will take care of all those needs.
