Steeped in Richmond's turn-of-the-century character yet brilliantly reimagined for how people live today, this freestanding period home delivers a renovated, extended interior of stylish sophistication. Steps from Barkly Gardens, Swan Street, and Bridge Road's dining and retail strips, the lifestyle on offer here is immediate and enticing, positioned to reap the benefits of a central address while benefiting from a location on a low-traffic, one-way street.
A sky-lit hallway with hardwood timber floors draws you through to the rear, where high raked ceilings and bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening to a sun-drenched paved courtyard with pedestrian gate access to the ROW. It's a setting built for entertaining and the kitchen rises to meet it, with quality finishes and a considered layout that keeps the host connected to every corner of the open plan living and dining space. Two well-proportioned ground-floor bedrooms include the main with a walk-in robe, courtyard access and direct entry to the renovated bathroom, finished with a dual marble vanity. Upstairs, a third bedroom with its own bathroom, skylights and split system heating/cooling unit offers excellent separation from the rest of the home and can function equally well as a guest suite, a home office, or a private main bedroom for those who want the top floor to themselves. Within walking distance to the MCG and sporting precinct, the Yarra River, Victoria Gardens, Richmond Primary School and Melbourne Girls College, with trams, the train and CityLink access keeping the CBD within constant reach, this is a home that asks very little and delivers considerably more.
