97 Rowena Parade, Richmond, Vic 3121

Private Auction on Saturday 10th October

Built in 1856 and sitting proudly on coveted Richmond Hill, this beautiful home occupies an enviable position at the quiet end of Rowena Parade. Behind its historic façade is a wonderfully generous and contemporary home, recently completely renovated under the direction of the design team at Cantilever Interiors. The main house offers three bedrooms, while tucked into the rear garden is a charming, fully self-contained additional dwelling — quite possibly the original kitchen and servants’ quarters — providing wonderful flexibility for guests, extended family or a home office. At the heart of the house is a superb chef’s kitchen fitted with Miele appliances, opening to a generous living room and a beautiful north-facing rear garden. A large separate dining room makes entertaining effortless, whether it’s a long lunch, family dinner or a house full of friends. There are lovely outdoor spaces at both ends of the house. The private front deck catches the afternoon sun and is the perfect spot for a quiet glass of wine, while the rear garden provides a sunny, secluded extension of the living space. Easy off-street parking adds a rare level of convenience to inner-city living. And then there is the location. With the MCG at the end of the street and Melbourne’s parks, restaurants, cafés and sporting life on the doorstep, this is a house that makes the very best of Richmond remarkably easy to enjoy. A beautiful historic home, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living, in one of Richmond’s most special pockets.
