Subscribe to regular market updates. In a pocket that’s among Richmond’s most revered, this timeless Victorian offers outstanding scope to live comfortably before exercising a vision, sympathetically renovating, and crafting a luxury home to rival the area’s best. One of only four in its terrace row preserved to keep heritage alive, the home’s well configured interiors prove just as ideal for downsizers as professionals. Two substantial bedrooms are accompanied by a smart bathroom, separate laundry, and living/dining/kitchen area open for entertaining, while a sun soaked backyard provides ample room for hosting friends and parking securely off street (access via Little Rose Street). Augmented with a replaced roof, modern plumbing, instant hot water, and new window sashes to streamline any future renovation, other highlights include split system heating/cooling, NBN connectivity, and fretwork, fireplaces, skirting boards, architraves, ceiling rosettes, picture rails, and original doors all furthering period appeal. A true piece of Richmond history loved by the same family since 1969, the abode sits six doors from Barkly Gardens, seconds from Church Street, and metres from Swan and Chapel Streets, Richmond Primary (zoned), the Yarra, and trains, trams, and CityLink for stress free commuting.
