Serene and secluded in its hidden Richmond Hill laneway, this cultured rework of a timeless double front embodies old world elegance and craftsmanship, offers quiet comfort from day one, and embraces a locale that places the MCG within a moment’s stroll. Set securely beyond a Mews facing security entry, parking for two cars, and façade bearing the name ‘McCrae’, the home is its own tranquil retreat from the nearby city bustle. Three substantial bedrooms all feature extensive robe space, display exquisite details typical of the era, and provide ample room for a family to grow into, while a broad dining room (potential fourth bedroom) steps into a rear section where an oversized kitchen, open living/meals space, and sun drenched deck make entertaining effortless. As enjoyable today as it is ripe with scope for future enhancement, the abode’s other highlights include two bright bathrooms, solid timber and slate floors, skylights, reverse cycle heating/cooling, upscale appliances, a video intercom, full size laundry, and backyard kept private by tall greenery. Weekend football, the Australian Open, major concerts, Yarra scenery, Fitzroy Gardens tranquillity, and lively Swan Street and Bridge Road sit within steps, as do trains and trams streamlining every commute.
