With rich history dating to c.1888, this extended Victorian terrace strikes a graceful balance between period and modern, offering turnkey ease with room to further renew in Richmond’s leafy heart. As alluring today as the day it was built, a Hawthorn brick and lacework façade precedes an interior celebrating its character through high, rosetted ceilings, fireplaces, a corbel arch, and ornate cornices, architraves, and skirts. Two substantial, robe lined bedrooms are introduced by an inviting hallway, flowing to meet an oversized bathroom and focal section where a cathedral ceiling fosters a sublime sense of space. Expanses of glass and a quiet courtyard wrap around living and dining areas to attract all day rays, while French doors to a decked alfresco and direct street access to the backyard streamline large scale hospitality. Stainless steel appliances enhance a sizeable kitchen with plentiful storage, while other highlights include reverse cycle heating/cooling, a European laundry, and ample street parking. With trams reaching Chapel Street, the MCG, and city centre in no time, it’s only steps to Bridge Road’s retail and dining scenes, Swan Street’s famous nightlife, scattered parks and cafés, Richmond Traders shops, and Gleadell Street Market.
