Richmond position that feels remarkably peaceful once you're home. Zoned for Melbourne Girls' College and just minutes from premium dining precincts, transport and major sporting venues, it puts the best of Richmond within easy reach while giving you something far harder to find: space, sunlight and a park at the front door. A tuck-pointed Hawthorn brick façade behind a white picket fence opens to an interior that feels immediately bright and unexpectedly spacious, with skylights drawing natural light through the single-level floorplan. Two generous bedrooms sit at the front, including one with an open fireplace and beautiful outlooks across Barkly Gardens, before rich hardwood floors continue into a substantial dining room with plenty of room to gather around the table. The adjoining kitchen is well appointed with a 900mm freestanding stove and integrated Bosch dishwasher, while further back, the living room opens up beneath high raked ceilings around a wood burning fireplace set into original exposed brick. Twin French doors lead to a broad paved alfresco area beneath a similar high roofline, extending the social spaces well into the garden for year-round entertaining. There is ample room here for outdoor dining and relaxed weekends after the footy, with low-maintenance plants on the perimeter and wide gated ROW access providing secure parking for a large vehicle without taking over the garden. Instantly appealing with ducted heating, solid timber floors, quality carpets, excellent storage including a large attic, and a European laundry, it makes the most of a location that puts so much within easy reach. Walk to Burnley Gardens, the Main Yarra Trail or Burnley Golf Course, head into Swan Street or Church Street for dinner and drinks, or jump on a train or tram and be in the city in minutes. With Melbourne's sporting precinct close by as well, this is a brilliant Richmond position that only gets better with time.
