Abode

Tucked quietly and privately behind the buzz of Richmond’s heartland in Bridge Road, this contemporary prize offers smart and sophisticated, completely turnkey access to the inner-Melbourne lifestyle.

Staged by a one-way street where minimal traffic passes and homes rarely change hands, a two-storey plan proves as clever as it is adaptable. Two sizeable bedrooms are joined downstairs by extensive robe space and a dual-basin bathroom/laundry, while space and sun foster airiness and ambiance on a well-worked upper level.

Bi-fold doors merge a large living/dining area and covered terrace brilliant for drinks before a night on the town, while city sunsets form a memorable backdrop to open dining and stone-top kitchen areas. High-end Bosch and Baumatic appliances heighten hospitality prowess, while other features range from reverse-cycle heating/cooling to polished timber floors, an alarm and security gate, quiet back courtyard, under-stair storeroom, and remote-controlled garage.

Area

With Walk and Transit Scores of 96 and 97 to mean a car is seldom necessary, it’s no more than a short stroll to Richmond Traders shops, Gleadell Street Market, great cafés, and the bars, boutiques, and restaurants of Bridge Road, along with every event at the MCG, Victoria Street cuisine, Richmond Hill pubs, West Richmond Station, and trams bound for Swan Street.
