Classical elements and contemporary excellence are intelligently balanced by this bright, beautifully renovated period residence, complemented by a Richmond pocket offering quiet proximity to Victoria Gardens shopping, Bridge Road and the Yarra’s river bank bike paths. Spotted gum floorboards and romantic original pressed metal ceilings reflect the skill, style and sensitivity with which comprehensive updating has been completed throughout a floor-plan that offers three bedrooms, each with built in robes, two retaining period fire places. A distinctive designer bathroom makes a quality contribution before a north facing living/dining area delivers dynamic dimensions featuring a Jetmaster fire-place, cathedral ceilings and a Caesar-stone kitchen with soft closing storage. Double glazed bi-fold doors to a landscaped courtyard conclude a perfect example of ‘walk in and enjoy’ proportions, further enhanced by ducted heating/ refrigerated air-conditioning, alarm and large shed.
