Positioned in the bowl of a quiet court in the tranquil surrounds of a heritage English cottage style estate, a unique enclave created in the 1940s on the site of the former Richmond Racecourse, this original 3 bedroom red brick home has undergone a striking reimagination, barely detectable from the street, but an architectural showpiece once inside.
Wrapped in beautiful native, perennial gardens with a distinctive crepe myrtle defining the path to the impressive timber front door, the original facade opens to a wide entry gallery and a breathtaking vision of a grand, light-filled living, dining and kitchen area under 6.1m high, timber lined cathedral ceilings.
The sleek and stylish kitchen features an AEG oven and induction cooktop, large island bench/breakfast bar and capacious storage options. Stacking doors lead out to the alfresco entertaining deck with a BBQ alcove and rangehood, supplemented by a fire pit setting at the rear of the private and extremely spacious garden.
Three large bedrooms include ceiling fans and fitted BIRs, one with a handy built-in study nook. The family bathroom with bath/shower showcases a carefully curated mix of quality tiling and fittings, and the separate powder room, accessed via a generous laundry, provides good access from the deck and a cheery pop of colour.
Discerning families will be drawn to this innovative lifestyle home, its turnkey luxe and inner-city tranquillity. Walk to Burnley Park, walk or cycle along the Yarra River path. Swan Street and Bridge Road trams access the CBD, MCG and the Sports and Entertainment Precinct. It’s only minutes to Burnley Station and Victoria Gardens, with shops, restaurants, cafes and wine bars nearby. Zoned and easy walking distance to Hawthorn West Primary School, Yarra Primary, Richmond High School and Melbourne Girls College.
