9 Francis Street, Richmond, Vic 3121

Exuding the grace and elegance synonymous with its period roots, this Victorian gem promises a bright and luxurious take on the classic, freestanding cottage, with Bridge Road’s famed cuisine, boutiques, and nightspots just seconds away. Beyond a beguiling, white picket fence and intricate iron lacework, a stunning interior revamp remains sympathetic to the home’s storied past, with rosettes, cornices, and a corbelled hallway arch preserved as nods to pre Federation origins. Afforded calming, leafy outlooks by a clever central light court, a luxe, twin basin bathroom with laundry and standalone soaker tub joins plentiful robe space in serving two substantial bedrooms, while durable granite surfaces and upscale appliances ensure a first rate kitchen comfortably caters for dozens. Affording a delightful sense of space, a vaulted ceiling soars above an expansive living/dining domain, with extensive windows attracting streams of all day sunlight. Sliding glass reveals a low maintenance, north facing yard primed for barbecues surrounded by guests, with potential present for secure off street parking via a rear asphalt laneway. With highlights including reverse cycle heating/cooling, hardwood floors, and zoning for respected Yarra Primary, Richmond High, and Melbourne Girls’ College, it's just steps to Richmond Traders and Victoria Gardens shops, the local market’s fresh produce, Yarra’s scenic trails, and buzz of iconic Swan Street, while the MCG and city centre sit a quick train, tram, or bicycle ride away
