1 Barkly Avenue, Port Melbourne VIC 3207

Presenting sophisticated style and architectural flair, this inner-urban showpiece delivers an aspirational standard of luxury steps from animated lifestyle precincts, South Melbourne Market and every imaginable attraction. Nestled within a peaceful laneway on the edge of Bay Street, this modern masterpiece with a tandem garage and spectacular city views reveals an idyllic sense of light, space and entertainment, juxtaposing its industrial-inspired exterior.

Wonderfully zoned accommodation invites a sense of security and peace, with a ground-floor guest suite offering the ease of an ensuite and the flexibility of a home office or second living area. Further up, three additional bedrooms, including the main bedroom with a deluxe twin vanity ensuite and fitted walk-in robes, are matched with an equally stylish central bathroom.

Indulge in the ultimate entertaining layout, with a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen domain that extends fully to the western terrace via stacked sliding doors. A spiral staircase leads to an extraordinary rooftop terrace, primed for watching the NYE fireworks over a panoramic city skyline. Exuding a rare sense of seclusion with leafy treed outlooks, the kitchen's superior suite of integrated Miele appliances include a near-new dishwasher and gas cooktop, set beautifully around a large island bench and a walk-in pantry.

There's no lack of storage here, with floor-to-ceiling robes and under-stair storage, whilst the home is kept comfortable with ducted heating, cooling and double glazing and boasts a laundry, UV protection (western windows), alarm and keypad entry, and a water tank (grey water). Step out to the market and pop down the road to quickly access Port Melbourne Primary and Secondary Schools, Albert Park College, Bay Street dining and retail, the beach and city-bound transport - this is lifestyle living at its finest.
