Renewed for immediate comfort while remaining true to its pre-Federation origins, this late Victorian classic embraces the rich history and effervescent lifestyle of its surrounds, ideally positioned to enjoy the best of iconic Swan Street. Nestled privately and securely behind lush gardens, a high wall, and a commanding presence on one of Richmond’s premier streets, this exquisite home sees modern comforts complement period details including leadlight windows, a corbel arch, architraves, cornices, skirts, and soaring, ornate ceilings. Featuring a walk-in robe to the master bedroom and built-in robes to two further bedrooms, the marble-accented bathroom features a separate bath and shower, while expanses of glass allow natural light into a generous open-plan area designed for effortless entertaining. Glancing across the vivid greens of a large backyard, the living and dining zones flank a first-rate kitchen appointed with stone benches and Bosch/Fisher & Paykel appliances, while an outdoor meals area provides a sublime space for a social drink or a Sunday barbecue. With nothing needing to be done before moving in, laying down roots, and enjoying long into the future, highlights include reverse-cycle heating/cooling, hardwood floors, a European laundry, a shed, walkway access to the backyard, eligibility for multiple parking permits, and zoning for Richmond Primary School, Richmond High School, and Melbourne Girls’ College. Offering supreme convenience, a car is rarely needed — with Melbourne Park, the MCG, city-bound trams, countless shopping options, popular bars and pubs, renowned restaurants, thriving brunch spots, Burnley and East Richmond Stations, Barkly Gardens, and the Yarra River all just footsteps away.
