Opposite Dame Nellie Melba Memorial Park, this freestanding two-bedroom Victorian transforms from an elegant period home to an architectural showpiece in a way that's impossible to predict from the street. Just moments from Mr Coppin, Bridge Road's renowned dining scene, and trams, it delivers city-edge lifestyle excellence with a sophisticated single-level renovation that impresses at every turn. Beyond the traditional verandah and soaring arched hallway, the layout opens dramatically across a wider than-expected rear extension, allowing natural light to pour through expansive living spaces overlooking the landscaped garden. The substantial entertainer's kitchen takes centre stage with waterfall stone benchtops, a herringbone marble splashback, premium Bosch appliances and an integrated dishwasher, while bi-fold doors transition seamlessly to the outdoor living for summer entertaining. Wrapped in established greenery and set beneath a vine-covered arbour, it provides absolute privacy for al-fresco dining, enhanced by poured-concrete bench seating, an in-built mains-gas barbecue, irrigated landscaping, and secure side access with a garden shed. Two generous bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned along the hallway, making the most of the high ceilings and large proportions, and are complemented by an oversized bathroom featuring a dual vanity and a walk-in shower. Stunning Blackbutt timber floors, a wealth of custom cabinetry and storage, double glazing to the heritage windows, electric blinds in the living room, split-system heating and cooling, a large laundry with a second WC and an alarm system achieve an exceptional level of finish. Complete with valuable gated off-street parking on title, this impressive move-in-ready property places leading schools, Yarra River parkland, Gleadell Street Market, Richmond Traders, the restaurants of Swan Street and Bridge Road, East Richmond Station, city-bound trams and the MCG all within easy walking distance.
