Sunlight pours through floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the rear of this beautifully renovated c.1925 stone-fronted bungalow, where the open plan family, dining and kitchen extension gazes out over a shimmering in-ground pool. Dressed in a Hamptons-inspired palette of Whites, Greys and warm timber, 10 Richman Avenue honours its heritage bones at the front and celebrates resort-style entertaining at the rear.
Behind pretty picket fencing awaits a neatly landscaped front garden that fronts a home filled with life and love; conceived with style and entertaining in mind. Step inside through the classic leadlight-framed front door and the front of the home tells its heritage story with pride. Decorative ceilings, ornate ceiling roses and chandeliers crown the formal lounge, where double doors open to reveal an original fireplace to warm cosy evenings, and polished timber floorboards flow down the extra-wide hallway.
Three bedrooms are dressed in plush carpet, the lounge readily converts to a fourth bedroom, and a study, with glass French doors, offers the perfect work-from-home base or potential fifth bedroom.
An indulgent master suite comes fully fitted with a designer walk-in robe, a luxurious ensuite tiled floor-to-ceiling with a floating double vanity and mosaic feature inlay, concealed shower with dual ceiling-mounted rainfall shower heads, plus French doors opening to your own private shaded courtyard - the quiet corner every busy household needs.
The kitchen is the hub of the home, anchored by a stone-topped waterfall island bench, breakfast bar seating and a trio of hanging pendant lights and LED downlighting. Sleek, glossy White cabinetry rises to the ceiling, a mirrored splashback bounces the garden light around, and the appliance line-up impresses with a 900mm Belling gas cooktop, separate Belling wall oven and Westinghouse dishwasher, while a walk-in pantry tucks neatly alongside.
You barely have to step 'outside' to find the grand alfresco entertaining scape where a sunken decked kitchen and dining area can be enclosed at the touch of a button by automated café blinds. The luxe adjoining outdoor kitchen serves up a built-in bbq beneath its own canopy rangehood, a bar fridge and stone-look benchtops with bar seating - all shaded by a solid roof that connects directly with the main structure, promising comfortable year-round dining and hosting. And when summer arrives, the outdoor shower beside the sparkling pool means the party never needs to wander far, encased by subtle glass fencing that keeps the aesthetic untouched while your family's safety remains at the forefront. Cleverly concealed beyond the entertaining zone, a private lawn area and hidden clothesline add practicality without compromising the home's polished outdoor aesthetic.
With a tandem carport secured behind an automated roller door, plus the added advantage of a second driveway providing valuable extra off-street parking or space for a boat, caravan or trailer, this home is as practical as it is impressive. Complete with St Helen's Park and playground directly behind, and Prospect Road's shopping and restaurant precinct within walking distance, this is an unbeatable lifestyle offering in highly prized Prospect; a desirable city-fringe postcode where nothing is left to do but move in, dive in and enjoy!
