The embodiment of class and substance among prestigious inner city surrounds, this Edwardian haven fuses classic with cutting edge in the pursuit of clever luxury. Occupying a commanding corner on Richmond’s exclusive East Melbourne border, a picture perfect façade reveals an interior where high, ornate ceilings, intricate plasterwork, and a corbel arched hallway pay homage to old world roots. Herringbone parquetry accentuates a refined ambiance, while at the centre of the home, striking stone, profuse storage, a rounded island, and upscale Electrolux appliances enliven an enthusiast’s kitchen. Large living, dining, and open air spaces combine to hit their stride when guests arrive, while extensive joinery and a chic bathroom with a soaker tub accompany two oversized bedrooms. A turn key masterpiece just as suited to downsizers as it is professional high flyers, other features include zoned heating/cooling, a full size laundry, video intercom, camera and alarm system, shed, and master bedroom with a double glazed bay window and Venetian plaster feature wall. With lifestyle appeal beyond compare, it’s only footsteps to Richmond icons Bridge Road and Victoria Street, East Melbourne’s famous Fitzroy Gardens, the storied MCG, and numerous trains and trams for rapid city access.
