303/72 Acland St , St KildaVIC3182

Above the energy of Acland Street in one of St Kilda’s most distinctive buildings, these one-bedroom apartments offer a front-row seat to Melbourne’s most iconic seaside suburb, with exclusive rooftop entertaining and a prime position overlooking the bay, the city skyline and the famed Scenic Railway. Securing a top-floor position within ‘The Face’, a building known for its surrealist, Dalí-inspired architecture, it offers the excitement of art, contemporary ease and lifestyle, with views that reach from the CBD lights to the Palais Theatre and beyond.

Introduced by the playful foyer of mirrors, and followed by epoxy black concrete floors and clean architectural lines, the interior layout makes clever use of its corner orientation. The open-plan living and balcony embrace leafy outlooks and glimpses of Luna Park over the palms, whilst the robed bedroom extends to its own balcony, capturing the area’s unique beachside urban sprawl. A hotel-quality bathroom, a European laundry and exceptional appointments such as split system heating/cooling, Miele appliances, and video intercom, offer a turn-key landing pad for inner-city dwellers, investors and lock-and-leave lifestyle lovers alike.

Secure lift access to basement parking and a storage cage top it off, but the showstopper here is the private rooftop terrace. Offering a sweeping panorama that takes in Melbourne’s cityscape, palm-lined streets and the bay, it’s an exclusive escape above the energy of the area below. From the sand to the 96 and #1 trams, the gardens to the theatre, this location delivers instant access to Melbourne’s most magnetic experiences, whether it’s cake and coffee on a Sunday morning, a concert across the road, or a solo sunset with the skyline at your feet.
