7 Tudor Street, Richmond

Doubtless one of Richmond's most extraordinary homes, this stellar piece of residential architecture channels the area's inherent charisma and industrial heritage in the creation of an inner-city masterpiece. Emphasising quality, efficiency, and harmony with its storied surrounds, a remarkable interior sits beyond a thriving vegetable garden and humble '40s faade, with a serene lower level introducing a quiet front living area and garden-viewing office en route to a remarkable main section. Bright and efficient courtesy of double-glazed windows and thermally broken concrete, the space is gifted a sense of depth by a focal void, working to accentuate the home's signature, airy ambiance. Sliding floor-to-ceiling glass streamlines flow between entwined living/dining zones and a sublime outdoor area (both north-facing), with canopies of green offering a calming backdrop to summer barbecues and dinner parties. A first-class kitchen elevates entertaining capabilities to no end, with upscale Liebherr and Neff appliances accompanied by Dekton benchtops, a Masson linear pendant to a broad island, and one-off concrete splashback offering a nod to the locale's rich racing history. Separation achieved through acoustic, steel-framed glass and remote-controlled sheer/block-out curtains, a magnificent main bedroom proves a sumptuous second storey's spacious centrepiece, well-served by practical walk-in robe storage and an open ensuite featuring dual basins, a Dekton vanity, and double-width shower. With louvres promoting clever cross-ventilation, polished concrete meets carpet as contemporary steps into original, with three additional, robe-lined bedrooms accompanied by an under-floor-heated central bathroom. With extensive care given to even the most minute of details, highlights include comprehensive heating/cooling, Tongue & Groove floors, 2-Pac joinery, heated towel rails, mobile-integrated camera security, keypad entry, NBN connectivity, remote-controlled irrigation, solar energy, abundant storage, a Tesla battery, video intercom, gas fire to front living area, lower powder room, smart European laundry, sunlit carport, and two additional, secure car spaces. With Yarra parks and trails just seconds away, it's steps from city and MCG trams, Gleadell Street Market, and the bars, boutiques, and brunch spots of Bridge Road and surrounds, while moments from respected public/private schools and Victoria Gardens' retail and cinema.
