This quirky character villa sits on a generous 704 sqM Residential 2 section in ever-popular St Kilda, offering a rare combo of immediate liveability and genuine development potential. The home is full of personality and perfectly comfortable as is, while the expansive, flat backyard opens the door to future options, including the possibility of building a second dwelling to the rear (subject to council approval).
Inside, the home blends classic villa charm with creative flair. High ceilings, timber detailing, and weatherboard character are paired with artistic, colourful touches that make this property feel anything but cookie-cutter. The layout is practical and flexible, with three bedrooms plus a versatile rear annex ideal as a home office, studio, or guest space. Open-plan living connects the lounge, dining, and European-style kitchen, complete with bookshelves and bold design elements. Heating is well covered with a log burner in the lounge, gas heating in bedrooms, and gas hot water via califonts.
Outside, the section really does the heavy lifting. A huge flat backyard offers space to enjoy now and plan for later, with established veggie beds, a back patio, full fencing for privacy, and a spa pool included in the sale. Drive-on access and off-street parking add everyday convenience.
This is a property that works on multiple levels: a creative family home today, a solid rental or investment, or a long-term hold with future development upside.
