4 rooms house of 1061m² in St Kilda West

Welcome to 8 Longmore Street, a beautifully reimagined 4 bedroom period residence where heritage charm meets refined contemporary design. Thoughtfully designed by Tecture with landscaping by Saint Remy Studio, this exceptional home offers a sophisticated lifestyle in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after coastal pockets. A minimalist palette has been carefully curated to highlight the home’s stunning original features, including fully restored ornate ceilings and decorative fireplaces. Subtle curves soften the architecture, creating a sense of flow and calm, while tonal detailing in the ensuite references the home’s heritage fireplaces with a contemporary edge. The flexible floorplan is ideally suited to modern living, featuring a generous master bedroom on the ground floor complete with a walk in robe and private ensuite. Three further bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, two of which are upstairs and include built-in robes with a central bathroom making the home equally suited to families or professionals seeking space and functionality. A delicate veil wraps the façade, balancing privacy with soft natural light. Above, the striking metal-clad upper level—described as a “jewel box”—extends gracefully beyond the ground floor, giving the home a refined presence within its tightly held urban context. The extension has been approached with sensitivity, retaining as much of the original building fabric as possible, including the exquisite living room ceiling. At the centre of the home, the kitchen is both functional and sculptural. A concealed rangehood set within a curved bulkhead enhances the sense of space, while durable porcelain benchtops are framed by a Volakis stone apron to the island, delivering a finish that is as practical as it is beautiful. The home is appointed with a full suite of Miele cooking appliances, including a pyrolytic oven, separate oven and microwave, an induction cooktop, and an integrated dishwasher, complemented by an integrated Fisher & Paykel twin-door fridge and drawer freezer. Everyday living is elevated with an enclosed laundry fitted with a Bosch washer and separate dryer, custom stonework throughout the living, dining, and wet areas, and warm timber flooring by Made by Storey. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted heating and cooling, while motorised blinds, data cabling, extensive storage, and a security system with keypad entry add convenience and peace of mind. * Plantation shutters to be installed in the front two rooms. Sustainability has also been considered, with solar electricity installed and a battery to be added. The home offers rear car access and includes garden maintenance, ensuring a low-maintenance lifestyle. This is a rare opportunity to lease a design-led residence that seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury, just moments from the beach, parks, and the vibrant St Kilda lifestyle.
