Restaurateur Ronnie Di Stasio's double-fronted Victorian on the market

Prominent restaurateur Rinaldo “Ronnie” Di Stasio has listed a house near his popular St Kilda eatery, the beach and Catani Gardens.

The double-fronted Victorian at 76 Park Street, St Kilda West, sits on a 287-square-metre block, which is large for the inner-bayside precinct.

With five main rooms – two of the bedrooms currently fitted as a formal lounge and library – the home retained original features throughout a recent modernisation, says selling agent Peter Simmons.

His agency, Peter Simmons Real Estate, will auction the home – near Cafe Di Stasio, and close enough for a coffee and a fine pasta after the hammer falls – on March 18.
