6 Altona Street, Kensington, Vic 3031

The impressive street presence of the old Bay View Hotel reflects the prosperity of Victorian-era Melbourne. This iconic, light-filled, three level residence, Circa 1889, has been converted with care and style. Close to Holland Park and South Kensington station, the Kensington cafe strip is just minutes away. The sparkling evening views across the Melbourne docks explain the building's original name.
Behind an imposing entrance a huge entertaining area retains one of the hotel's grand open fire-places and looks through French doors to a massive paved courtyard that luxuriates in northern light. Above, a modern first floor living/dining domain also appreciates an abundance of natural light and stylishly incorporates a sleek stainless steel kitchen arranged along one wall. On the top floor there are two inviting bedrooms, one enhanced by its own study retreat, both sharing a smart bathroom, its convenience complemented by ground level powder room. Secure off street parking is an extra lifestyle asset and contributes further to the irresistible allure represented by the opportunity to call a building as beautiful as this 'home'.
