AUCTION 13 MARCH 2010: Be enchanted by an Edwardian with hidden depths at 250 Barkly Street, St Kilda! Stretching deep down approx 200ft/61m on a 4215sqft/390sqm block approx, this sizeable semi-detached home opens wide to offer three bedroom, two bathroom, dual living accommodation and more garden space than you could ever expect.

Stepping beyond gracious robe-fitted period-detailed bedrooms and stylish bathrooms, this enticing Edwardian flows past a fine formal lounge with fireplace and pressed-metal ceiling, and on to a relaxed family zone beyond a mosaic and jarrah detailed kitchen. Fitted with eclectic open-shelving around a second open-fireplace, this airy open space spills out through three panels of stacked sliding glass doors to a vine-draped terrace and deceptively deep gardens with lawns, play space and secure paved parking for two cars from a rear ROW.

DISCOVER THE COLOURFUL, BIZARRE AND HILARIOUS WORLD OF ST KILDA STREET PERFORMERS

Sundays in St Kilda come alive!
Rediscover the colourful, bizarre and hilarious entertainment of street performers for the whole family!
Innovation, absurdity and intrigue are around every corner each Sunday afternoon for fifteen weeks.
The first St Kilda Busking Festival began in March 2009 and was a huge success amongst families, the local
community and buskers.

In 2010 the festival is back bigger and better. It is a journey of fun and frivolity that discovers some of
Melbourne’s hidden artists, playing live on the street for your free (donations always accepted) enjoyment.
St Kilda has long been regarded as the artistic centre for performers, exhibitionists and general entertainers.
The St Kilda Busking Festival turns Fitzroy Street, St Kilda Sea Baths and Acland Street into a live stage that delivers entertainment for children and adults alike.

Come down between 1pm and 4pm and catch a glimpse of St Kilda’s finest street performers including the king
of rock himself – Elvis.

Witness the insane, funny, musical and talented shows that celebrate this true art form.
Interviews and photos available with the diverse faces behind the talent, all with an incredible array of stories
from established and up and coming performers.
Amongst others, the finest in living statues, interactive street performers and Elvis returning with amazing,
eclectic and somewhat non-mainstream musical displays that will amaze.

St Kilda Sea Baths: 21st March, 28th March, 4th April, 11th April, 18th April
Acland Street: 25th April, 2nd May, 9th May, 16th May, 23rd May
