78 Hunter Street, Richmond, Vic 3121

There's a lot to love about this character-filled, double fronted Victorian cottage and enormous scope to modernise if desired. Restore or renovate, the choice is yours or alternatively have the best of both worlds with a true-to-period exterior and sleek contemporary interior. In this evolving inner Melbourne setting (with no heritage overlay) there is also potential to rebuild/develop (STCA).

There is ample space to flex your gardening muscles behind the pretty picket front fence and at the rear where a full wall of stacker doors opens to continue the living area out to a brick paved alfresco terrace, a gardener with vision could make a verdant statement.

Open the original front door and a classic Victorian floorplan of central passageway and 2 large, high ceiling bedrooms (one with OFP) leads to the living/dining room with built-in cabinetry and through to the kitchen/meals where a modest vestige of the original stove alcove remains plus a handy pull-out table. Laundry and bathroom are flooded with natural light from the more recent addition of the atrium ceiling.

Conveniently located between the tram and train routes, shops and eateries of Swan Street and Bridge Road, close to primary schools and parkland and just minutes from Victoria Gardens. Bike or hike alongside the Yarra, follow your team at the MCG, enjoy a concert or match in the Sports and Entertainment Precinct or hop on a tram to the CBD or Docklands.
