3/79 Alma Road, St Kilda.

This is no ordinary apartment. Featuring its own private entry, this fully renovated one-bed stunner comes with something almost unheard of: a massive deck that’s almost the size of the interior. Partially north-facing, with garden space to potter and plenty of room to entertain, it creates a rare sense of space and privacy, more like a house than an apartment. Inside, clean lines and smart design keep the vibe relaxed and functional. The generous living and dining room flows to a modern kitchen, where a breakfast bar subtly defines the space. The bedroom connects to a marble-style bathroom with shower-over-bath, while split-system air conditioning and a covered carport add comfort and convenience. Step outside and the lifestyle is on full display. Walk to trams, Windsor Station, Alma Park, Chapel Street’s buzzing bars and restaurants, Carlisle Street’s cafes, or the beach for sunshine and long walks. Everything you need is within easy reach. Apartments like this don’t come up often, and almost never with game-changing outdoor space like this.
