5 / 16 Tennyson Street St Kilda

From its prized vantage above the St Kilda Botanical Gardens, this top-floor 1970s apartment doesn’t miss a beat. Set within a tightly held pocket with entry via exclusive Mozart Street, it delivers the scale, outlook and positioning that’s difficult to come by and even harder to let go of.

The sense of space and natural light is immediate. Engineered oak underfoot sets a modern tone across an expansive layout that orients north and west, drawing the sun throughout and framing a leafy panorama forever changing with the seasons. Generous open-plan living and dining areas connect to a broad balcony where the treetops and park vistas take centre stage, adjoining the kitchen with stone finishes, quality electric appliances, a dishwasher, and abundant storage.

Two oversized bedrooms each catch the northern light, including a main with walk-in fitted robes, met with a large bathroom with a skylit shower and integrated laundry, plus a second toilet within the separate powder room. Secure intercom entry, split system heating/cooling, freshly painted interiors, a secure carport and a private lockable storeroom for the bikes add further appeal, though it’s the lifestyle proposition that steps it up. A short walk to Peanut Farm Reserve and a quick stroll to Acland Street, St Kilda Beach, tram and train connections, including the famous 96 route, this apartment is surrounded by some of the city’s most iconic drawcards yet somehow feels like an urban hideaway with its own canopy of leafy calm. It's one of those addresses that rarely changes hands, and for good reason.
