“It’s been a beautiful time in my life, I’m very grateful to have been in this property,” she said.
With prime position on the west’s sought-after beachfront strip, the multi-level home features three separate bedrooms each with their own ensuite; two living areas; and two kitchens for fully independent living.
This includes the main bedroom, with luxurious space and views of Melbourne’s skyline, Hobsons Bay and ships arriving in the harbour.
Meanwhile an expansive backyard extends to The Strand, with landscaped gardens, a spa and entertaining area.
“We get the water but we get the city and also the boats – there’s a lot of movement and always a story to be told out the window,” Ms Mackenzie said.

“The Strand is a really in-demand address,” he said.
“Waterfront, naturally, is the major appeal. It has two street frontages – a garage with its own separate entry then a driveway with landscape gardens and fish pond.
“And having split levels is really unique. It’s quite a narrow block but it doesn’t feel tight – it feels so much larger and wider than it may look.”

The agent added that the flexibility of the home could accommodate everyone from a young family to downsizers or multi-generational buyers.
“It’s an extremely rare opportunity to buy on the best street in the inner west,” Mr Christakakis said.
Mackenzie agreed the home’s versatility is part of its appeal, having lived comfortably at the property with a friend.

“My wish is that the third person who has the property loves it as much as I have. It’s a very special house and I wish for them the happiness I have had,” she said.
The Newport property is set for a forthcoming auction with $2.79m to $2.99m price hopes.
