Historic homes and leafy trees line the wide street location of this double-fronted, solid brick Victorian combining a spacious 3 bedroom interior, a large rear garden plus a garage in an exceptional city-edge pocket surrounded by Bridge Road and Swan Street's exciting retail, culinary and entertainment scenes. A classically-attractive, rendered façade and garden set the tone for this inviting residence where high ceiling roses, open fireplaces and a central fretwork hallway imbue a captivating, single-level setting with outstanding original character. Brimming with timeless appeal, compelling potential and natural light on a 275 sqm approx. allotment, this home's traditional layout features 3 generous bedrooms set towards the front complemented by an exceedingly-comfortable living room perfectly warmed by a gas wall heater. A big, open kitchen and meals area delivers current-day functionality, while there's also a combined bathroom and laundry, as well as a separate toilet. Access is easy out to the great-sized backyard that's east-facing, high walled and bathing in sunlight for secluded alfresco entertaining on a paved patio, pottering in the garden with its huge lemon tree and driving directly from a rear laneway into a secure lock-up garage. Also offers wall-to-wall carpets, good front-to-rear side access and an amazing opportunity of impressive size and scope to immediately enjoy its space and comfort, before initiating a stunning, value-adding renovation when ready (STCA). Transform this classic Richmond residence into an inner-city sanctuary of contemporary sophistication and love the lifestyle in a prime position close to endless cafes and restaurants, shops and supermarkets, dog-friendly Barkly Gardens, Yarra River walking trails and the Burnley Golf Course, along with trams and trains into the MCG, Rod Laver Arena and the city, plus the Monash Freeway.
