Seconds to Bridge Road, zoned Melbourne Girls’ College, Burnley Park, and the Yarra River, this ‘40s classic cherishes its history and heritage, offers renovated ease and comfort, and celebrates everything that is Richmond. Once the site of the Richmond Racecourse and now one of the suburb’s most exclusive pockets, green surrounds set the stage for a plan made for today’s family. Three substantial bedrooms are joined upstairs by a chic bathroom and a leafy view to wake to, while below, a relaxing lounge and open meals area complement a gourmet kitchen: its deep blue cabinetry the perfect complement to the wood tones preserved from the ‘40s. Highlighting the parcel’s sheer scale, an oversized backyard gives ample room for energetic kids and any future extension, while tucked away at block’s rear, a standalone studio proves the perfect addition for teenagers needing separation or professionals seeking a dedicated home base. Split system heating/cooling, hardwood floors, a revamped laundry/powder room, and driveway parking for two cars augment the appeal, while bars and pubs, cafés and restaurants, nature trails, the local market, city trains and trams, and Swan Street all sit steps away.
