Richmond, VIC 3121

Nestled behind a charming white picket fence, this thoughtfully renovated, free-standing, double-fronted 1930s residence showcases a blend of authentic character and recent modern updates. Having been cherished by the same family for over 50 years, this beautiful home is move-in-ready.

The interior has been freshly painted and features soaring ceilings. Newly polished timber hardwood floors flow throughout the home, enhancing its classic appeal. At the front of the house is a spacious bedroom with a classic bay window that fills the room with western light. The substantial second bedroom includes an ornate fireplace and leads through to another versatile room that can be used as a study. A sizable third bedroom incorporates a built-in robe for convenient storage.

Practicality is well considered with a central full family bathroom, a powder room, and a large separate laundry. The rear of the house has been extended in line with the elevated original home, creating an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This space is equipped with brand-new Bosch appliances and brand-new stone countertops, ideal for cooking and entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors bathe the area in north-eastern light and provide a seamless transition to the private backyard.

The expansive backyard is a low-maintenance sanctuary featuring organic vegetable and herb patches surrounded by mature citrus trees, offering year-round harvest and lifestyle benefits. This secluded outdoor space is perfect for children’s play or sun-soaked lounging. A pergola connects to an adaptable rear room or studio equipped with a kitchenette, providing additional flexible living or working space.

Additional features include central hydronic heating, split system cooling, and convenient off-street parking. The property is zoned for Melbourne Girls' College and Richmond High School, with Yarra Primary and Trinity Primary Schools just a short distance away. Located in a quiet pocket, it is just footsteps from local favorites such as Hector’s Deli, Richmond Market, Bridge Road, Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, the main Yarra trail, and the 109 tram for direct access to the CBD.
