23 Mary Street, St Kilda West, Vic 3182

A defining presence amongst a premier tree-lined beachside boulevard, ‘Trelech’, a magnificent four-bedroom, four-bathroom family domain within the iconic Welsh Terraces, delivers stately Arts and Crafts-era proportions, secure dual garaging, a self-contained studio and an utterly peerless address. 

Beyond an alluring cast-iron portico and mosaic-tile entry, the tuck-pointed brick façade rises behind established gardens, setting a refined introduction to interiors rich in period detail. Original Baltic pine floors, soaring ceilings and a wide arched hallway create a sense of occasion, flanked by two formal living rooms, both with open fireplaces and garden aspects. Expansive living and dining areas stretch out beneath atrium-style ceilings, drawing natural light into the home’s rear wing, which opens to a sandstone-paved courtyard, embraced by the striking ever-changing colour of Boston Ivy. The kitchen is well-appointed and features marble benchtops, complemented by an in-built BBQ outside, elevating all-season entertaining. 

Three modern bathrooms serve the three generously robed bedrooms within the main residence, including a spectacular main suite with walls of robes, an en-suite, and a private balcony overlooking the Plane tree-lined boulevard. A studio with en-suite facilities, a Juliette balcony, and independent access via ROW offers flexibility for guests or at-home professionals. Offered for the first time in over two decades, and located moments from the foreshore, Catani Gardens, Albert Park Lake, the light rail, and beachfront dining establishments, this landmark residence holds a rare place in a coveted locale, complete with abundant storage, hydronic heating, a large laundry and double remote garage with storage rooms.
