Imagined and executed by the duo behind K+ARchitects, this extraordinary abode pairs design flair and smarts with rich history dating to the early ‘40s, creating a luxury home standing proudly as one of Richmond’s finest. Beyond landscaped gardens and a timeless façade, inspired interiors make an instant impression with their interplay of tones and textures. In a broad hallway and open entertainer’s suite, warm silvertop ash boards, exposed red bricks, a polished concrete floor, and black accents join reclaimed green and blue bricks in a trendy, offbeat palette, while calming floral outlooks, a raked ceiling, stunning void, and all day rays augment the ambiance with space and airiness. Sliding glass sees living, dining, daybed, and backyard areas effortlessly entwine when guests arrive, with any occasion comfortably catered for by a kitchen boasting profuse cabinetry, two Smeg ovens, a gas stove, dishwasher, fully integrated fridge/freezer, and ultra wide island for casual meals. With ample accommodation for the growing family, four considerable, downstairs bedrooms are accompanied by extensive robe space, a chic main bathroom with a bath, and ensuite in a first rate master, while a sun soaked upper retreat gives the option for a second living area or dedicated office. An expansive roof terrace proves a sublime space to take a morning coffee, catch afternoon sun, or chat with friends into the night, while other highlights include hydronic floor and towel rail heating, split system heating/cooling, skylights, study desks, a mains gas barbecue, full size laundry, abundant roof storage, plentiful street parking, and a wood fire for cosy winter nights. Seconds to the picturesque Yarra, metres to the Bridge Road bustle, and placed on storied site of the former Richmond Racecourse, the lifestyle opportunity is simply unmatched with cuisine, cafés, nightspots, elite schools, and city/MCG trams all just steps away.
