Located close to the heart of St Kilda and the Botanical Gardens, this 4-bedroom Melbourne residence is a single level oasis for lovers of contemporary living.

The Mitchell Street home is owned by musician Jeffrey Karutz and filmmaker Jen Hughes and is being offered for sale through a private sale campaign via Sam Hobbs and Justin Reed of The Agency with a price guide of $2.5m-$2.75m.

"The home has a lovely sense of the Victorian era at the front of the house, fused with a cutting edge architectural renovation in the rear living and entertaining areas that draws in incredible natural light," Sam Hobbs told WILLIAMS MEDIA.

Grant Amon Architects has reimagined the home with an energy-efficient cutting-edge architectural design, splashed with sleek and trendy detail. 

“The existing double fronted weatherboard residence at Mitchell St. is a great St. Kilda property that was in need of a careful, yet expansive renovation to fully utilise the large rear garden and aspect,” Grant Amon told WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

“Retaining the four front rooms as bedrooms and a study enabled a clean addition to the rear for a light filled Kitchen, Dining and Living area. Generous glazing and opening windows and doors lead to the grapevine covered pergola terrace for easy outdoor living.” 

“Warm, simple but robust materials have been used such as timber windows and cupboards on a polished concrete floor and the folded split roof opens to enable penetrating light through highlight windows.”

The home’s living area is designed to catch cool sea breezes through beautiful cedar bi-fold doors that have an optional fold-away designer screen for an indoor-outdoor feel for every-day living. The environment is further enhanced for quiet and temperature control by double glazing, louvre windows and fans plus a courtyard with timber pergola for BBQs in summer. 

Showcasing stainless steel appliances and a lovely timber counter for quick meals, the bright kitchen overlooks the back garden and features double sliding cedar windows that open to a mosaic bar connecting the kitchen to the alfresco dining area. 

All 4 of the expansive bedrooms feature fireplaces with one of the front bedrooms having flexibility as a home office, serviced by a central bathroom with leafy aspect.
