2/21 Marine Parade, ST KILDA

Brush the sand from your feet and step direct from the street into 140sqm (approx.) of carefree single-level living with the beach directly opposite, the Marina at the door and St Kilda life within a stroll. In a world of its own with a sandy beach stretched out in front, this three bedroom, two bathroom Waterfront apartment offers a house-sized dual-suite accommodation with a luxe private ensuite and walk-in robe for the vast fan-cooled master-suite and access to a clever two-way ensuite for the great kids (grandkids or guest) bedroom.

With vine-draped views to the group's central water-feature atrium and a seamless flow to a courtyard with bay glimpses, this impressive apartment is designed to entertain with wide glass-sliders blurring the boundary between expansive living-dining and the beachfront outdoors.

Starring a glossy granite kitchen with five-burner gas cooktop centre-stage, this beachfront entertainer has luxe finishes on show. Featuring parquetry-style floors, and natural stone benchtops with granite for the kitchen, and marble for the bathrooms, the home features great storage and quality window furnishings - including privacy-enhancing timber-venetians.

Offering the best of all worlds, this accommodating home has the benefits of a standalone single-level home (including direct street-entry via the large private courtyard) and the security of apartment living (complete with intercom entry to a plush lobby plus lift-access basement garaging with storage).

Best of all, there's this active lifestyle location between the dog-friendly ovals of Peanut Farm Reserve and the sandy beach alongside the Marina. Just around the corner from the Barkly St/Acland St hospitality precinct and a couple of corners further to St Kilda Botanical Gardens, you can step in from the sand and step out to it all.
