Framed by the colours of a garden that’s one of Richmond’s largest, this circa 1853 residence is among inner Melbourne’s longest surviving, retaining every ounce of its substance and character while brilliantly adapted for the modern day. Introduced by meandering garden paths and a feature Magnolia whose roots reach back more than a century, rejuvenated interiors offer wonderful sunlight, green outlooks from every corner, and a wealth of space for a family to grow into. Soaring ceilings and wide, original pine floorboards are quick to instil the home’s heritage, with a welcoming front section’s living and dining areas, two substantial bedrooms, smart bathroom, and country style kitchen complemented by repurposed stables and servants’ quarters perfect for multi generational living. A sizeable master and ensuite, large fourth bedroom, and extra bathroom round out accommodation, while other highlights include comprehensive heating/cooling, an oversized laundry, and secure parking. Within a short stroll of Swan and Church Street cuisine and nightlife, city bound trains and trams, tranquil Barkly Gardens, leading schools, and the Yarra River, the abode is a true Richmond landmark, beautifully preserved and poised to endure for generations to come.
