South of Swan Street in a prized Barkly Gardens enclave, this timeless corner Victorian offers an endlessly elegant, impressively spacious, and entirely turnkey take on the lifestyle Richmond is famous for. Harnessing history while embracing modernity, interiors prove outstanding in every respect. An original front section sees two oversized bedrooms accompanied by extensive storage and various details keeping character alive, served by a lavish bathroom with splashes of silver travertine, brushed nickel tapware, under floor heating, a frameless rain shower, and soaker tub. A first class master enjoys its own ensuite and dedicated dressing room, joined upstairs by a scenic balcony, abundant roof storage, and a living area doubling as an office or fourth bedroom. Ceilings soar, areas entwine, and sun streams through French doors for airiness and atmosphere in a scintillating living/dining space, flowing into an entertainer’s dream backyard with secure side access. With stone benchtops and Bosch appliances in a home chef’s kitchen, other highlights include comprehensive heating/cooling, Baltic pine floors, and gas, electric, and original fireplaces, while bars and restaurants, trains and trams, trendy Cremorne, the Yarra, and Chapel Street all sit steps away.
