Visionary architecture and 19th-Century origins delivers urban living at its finest in the heart of Richmond. Andrew Maynard Architects won the Victorian Architecture Award for the renovation of this landmark three-storey corner home, featuring three bedrooms and a study, a series of living and dining spaces, and a mirrored pod that bridges two design eras. Breathtaking in its scale and substance, this exceptional home showcases steel, western red cedar and glass to perfection. A spiral stairway winds its way to each level to reveal zoned bedrooms, a luxe bathroom with an Apaiser composite stone bath and basin, light-filled study with integrated desk, and an atrium roof for natural light. Every space is precision-designed, including the Miele kitchen with pullout pantries, a cantilevered dining bench, and steel bifold doors opening onto the most magnificent courtyard garden. Take a seat under the vine-covered pergola and admire the lush landscaping with big stepping stones, a carpet of dichondra underfoot, climbing jasmine, and garden lighting. Impeccable planning has created a mirror-fronted cocktail cabinet, European laundry and powder room, there's hydronic heating and air conditioners, and city and mountain views from this exclusive home. Shortlisted for the World Architecture Awards and featured on ABC TV's Dream Build series, this landmark home is close to West Richmond station, Epworth Hospital, medical consulting rooms, and Bridge Road's cafes and trams. Easy walk to the MCG and Fitzroy Gardens, and minutes to the CBD.
