Retro-Meets-Now Sanctuary in the Heart of St Kilda
Your new stylish 2-bedroom gem effortlessly blends retro charm with contemporary flair, decked out in sleek modern-retro furnishings, a state-of-the-art TV, premium stereo system, and a vintage record player (pro tip: bring your vinyl!). It’s a sanctuary for music buffs and entertainment junkies alike, with every channel imaginable for AFL marathons, fashion binges, and those gloriously trashy reality shows (we’ll pretend not to hear the MAFS drama). Practical perks? Oh yes: a full-sized washer/dryer (goodbye laundromat sprints) and loads of storage, think built-in wardrobes and sneaky hideaways to stash your clutter.
The huge lounge room? Pure climate-controlled comfort. Modern heating and cooling systems keep it cozy in winter, while summer stays refreshingly chill, no blasting AC needed. Thanks to clever design (and a canopy of trees shielding it from direct sun), this space stays naturally cool year-round. Zen vibes, guaranteed.
Location Highlights:
🌿 Parks & Green Spaces:
Alma Park: Just a 2-minute stroll away, this leafy retreat offers picnic spots, playgrounds, and tranquil walks.
Albert Park Lake: A 10-minute bike ride for lakeside jogs, kayaking, or coffee with a view.
🎉 Chapel Street’s Best (5-Minute Walk):
Revolver Upstairs: Iconic late-night club/bar with eclectic beats and rooftop vibes.
The Emerson: Chic rooftop cocktails and South Yarra views.
Lucky Coq: Legendary $10 pizzas, live music, and a buzzing crowd.
Republica: Beachside bar on St Kilda Esplanade—sip margaritas by the sea.
🌊 Beachside Living:
St Kilda Beach: A 15-minute walk to golden sands, sunset strolls, or kitesurfing.
Acland Street: Lined with cake shops, boutiques, and cafes like Monarch Cakes (try the strudel!).
🎪 Local Culture:
Luna Park: The historic amusement park’s laughter is just 10 minutes away.
Palais Theatre: Catch world-class gigs and comedy shows steps from the beach.
🚊 Convenience:
Trams (Routes 16/96) zip you to the CBD in 20 minutes.
Coles supermarket and quirky Alma Road cafes (Le Bon Continental Cakes 🥐) are moments away.
This isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re spinning vinyl with friends, exploring Chapel Street’s nightlife, or soaking up the beachside buzz, it's just awesome.

What I’m into outside work:
Music junkie: Obsessed with live gigs. Recently moshed at Fred again.., vibed with The National under the stars, and cried happy tears at a Waxahatchee set. Always down for pre-show playlists or post-gig pizza runs.
Nature therapy: Weekend hikes, keeping my plants alive (YES, I am MOTHER EARTH!), and grounding down by the beach.
Cool housemate stuff I can do:
Will trade therapy-level listening skills for your leftover takeout.
Host “Stress-Free Sundays” (yoga, smoothies, and zero judgment if you bail to binge Succession).
Own a disco ball for impromptu kitchen dance parties.
Looking for:
Humans who respect quiet mornings but also appreciate a good 2am rant about the universe. Bonus if you’re into board games, thrift-store hauls, or debating whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Let’s share snacks, split bills, and laugh at life’s chaos. 🌱✨
Gets the vibe: Balances chill with spontaneity... down for silent mornings with coffee, but also late-night debates about whether pigeons are government drones.
Loves collabs: Whether it’s muraling a wall, cooking experimental vegan lasagna, or curating a ”Songs That Sound Like a Warm Hug” playlist. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Communicates like a grown-up: Can say “Hey, your plants are invading my desk” without a passive-aggressive Post-it. We’re adults (allegedly).
Thrives in weirdness: Appreciates that “self-care” here might look like scream-singing in the shower to Slipknot or just simply swapping dark jokes we shouldn't laugh at... but do. Shhhhh.... no one needs to know.
Has their own thing: Whether it’s coding, baking sourdough, or studying the mating habits of wombats - bring your obsessions!
Non-negotiables:
Zero tolerance for judgment. We’re here to grow, not gossip.
Must pass the “Apocalypse Test”: Could we survive a zombie outbreak and still laugh about it?
Basically: Let’s be the kind of household where mental health is prioritised, things are communal, we do the chores we need to do, and the only drama is whether we actually saw a ghost in the hallway (it was probably just the cat). 🖌️👻
