On The Quieter Side Of The Street

ST KILDA, 4/29 Marine Parade
The Rand is one of St Kilda's landmark art-deco buildings along Marine Parade. A rounded, three-storey tower is an unusual and elegant feature of the building and marks the corner location.
This apartment is entered from the quieter side street and is situated on the first floor. It is set back from the front of the building and, while it still has a view of Port Phillip Bay, it does not suffer the traffic noise from Marine Parade.
The living room has a tall, bay window, with an outlook across the foreshore to the St Kilda Marina.
A leadlighted front door leads into a long, central hallway, which leads to the spacious living and dining room with polished timber floors and to a separate kitchen across the hall.
While the kitchen has been modernised at some time with solid-timber cupboards and a dishwasher, the bathroom is original 1930s art deco but has been fitted with laundry facilities.
At the end of the hall is a large bedroom with a built-in wardrobe.
The apartment also has access to The Rand's rear courtyard garden, a sunny, north-facing area surrounded by climbing plants cascading over the high fences.
Auction: 11am today, by Wilson Pride (9525 4166).
Inspect: today from 10.30am.
Expect: $150,000-plus.
