Overview

Character with capabilities by the Yarra

Expressions of Interest closing Tuesday 8th September at 2pm Weaving leafy serenity into inner city buzz, this large block classic in a tightly held cul de sac offers comfort from the outset, stirring scope for the future, and the opportunity for a cutting edge revamp in a beloved Yarra setting. Part of the ‘40s repurposing of the site once home to the Richmond Racecourse, the abode capitalises on outstanding space and northern orientation, with sun streaming in at all hours and a broad backyard for kids to claim as their own. A tidy bathroom and sizeable laundry serve three bedrooms in the hardwood floor front domain, while at rear, an oversized fourth bedroom doubles as the ideal home office. A relaxing front lounge flows through an open kitchen/meals area to an alfresco pergola great for entertaining, while an existing crossover and driveway prove perfect foundations for a redesign. A north facing renovation prospect that’s among the most exciting the pocket has seen, it’s mere footsteps to Bridge Road and its boutique shops, culinary scene, vibrant nightspots, and trams bound for the MCG and Flinders Street, along with lively Swan Street, zoned Melbourne Girls’ College, tranquil Burnley Park, and the river trail beyond.
