Tucked away from the street in a peaceful and private setting, this beautifully renovated Victorian cottage combines timeless character with contemporary luxury in one of Richmond’s most coveted city edge locations.
Bathed in natural light and thoughtfully extended, the circa 1880 residence seamlessly balances heritage charm with modern comfort. A private front deck leads to the inviting interior, where soaring ceilings, Baltic pine floorboards and original period details create an immediate sense of warmth and elegance. Occupying the entire upper level, an expansive bedroom features built in robes and opens to a substantial balcony with uninterrupted views spanning the city skyline, AAMI Park and the MCG, while a traditional hallway anchors the ground floor, where two generous bedrooms with built in robes, lead through to the heart of the home: a beautifully proportioned living and dining domain where a feature fireplace, bespoke timber detailing and an abundance of natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The designer kitchen is a standout, showcasing Emperor White Caesarstone benchtops, premium Neff appliances, an integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge and freezer, a double brass sink and bi-fold windows opening to a deep breakfast bar for effortless indoor-outdoor connection. Bi-fold doors extend the living space to a generous alfresco deck and private garden, where a flourishing lemon tree provides a picturesque backdrop for relaxed entertaining and quiet retreat alike. Additional highlights include a stylish bathroom with freestanding soaking tub and separate shower, a dedicated laundry, ornamental fireplaces, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, skylights, an outdoor storeroom, a charming reading nook with storage, original timber flooring and invaluable off street parking.
This hidden haven enjoys a location just moments from Swan Street & Bridge Road’s renowned cafes, restaurants, shopping and trams. West Richmond, Richmond and Jolimont stations, Victoria Gardens, Gleadell Street Market, Yarra Park, Melbourne’s sporting precinct and the picturesque Yarra River trails are all within easy reach.
