5 King Street, Richmond, Vic 3121

The traditionally pretty Victorian façade will be retained - beyond that, the opportunity to create a series of sensational new spaces, STCA, is made clear by current day proportions that convey pure potential. Still liveable, but far more focussed on the future possibilities than the present, two double bedrooms line a classical arched hall that leads to generous living and dining areas. High ceilings and northern light accompany these proportions while a separate kitchen/meals zone and a bright bathroom to the rear reflect the impact of previous renovation. An intimate courtyard concludes a sensational context for applying fresh ideas and producing a fabulous home, tailored to individual design preferences in a location that enjoys the best of Swan Street, exceptional cafes, tram routes, train travel and proximity to Yarra Park and the MCG at the base of Richmond Hill. Few properties remain that provide such exciting scope in a position offering so much inner city appeal.
