10/31 York Street, Richmond

Behind the gates of this secure boutique conversion, a private community welcomes you with lush gardens and a historic soul stitched together with the red bricks and concrete piers of a long endured history. Built over three levels, this vast and flexible two bedroom plus study townhouse has been designed to harness light at every opportunity and is wrapped in the solid shell of a c1925 warehouse. Anchored by a beautiful wood staircase from top to bottom, the home boasts an expansive living and dining zone with space to spread out in, a stone kitchen with stainless steel appliances (gas cooking), terrific storage and convenient servery out to the light-filled northern terrace. A ground floor office (easily an additional living zone) has a wall of storage and leafy outlook of the magnolia trees in the secluded lane. Travel upstairs to two opposing bedrooms with extensive robes (the sunny master faces north and the second with sneaky peaks of the MCG) separated by an urban bathroom with floor to ceiling tiles and a striking solid stone vanity. This tranquil oasis also features wood floors throughout, gas heating, RC/AC, intercom entry and two side by side car parks with space for storage. Nestled in the picturesque city fringe, it's a short walk to the MCG, sports precinct and Fitzroy Gardens, or hop over to vibrant Victoria Street. Also close to Victoria Gardens, the new Richmond Traders, Yarra river trails, and less than a 10 minute train ride to the CBD.
