15 James Street, Richmond VIC 3121

One of Richmond’s oldest homes (c1857), this post gold rush era terrace was built when Australia was still finding its form with an eclectic style. Every Blue Stone, every wood grain, and every nail have a story.
Comprising a front lounge room with Baltic Pine floors, fireplace and tall French doors onto the front veranda. A matching dining room with fireplace and under stair storage, leads over a well-trodden threshold to a renovated kitchen. The colonial style kitchen respects its past retaining the original hearth melded into the cabinetry and pine-lined ceiling while being modernised with a Falcon gas upright dual oven, granite bench tops and dishwasher. Looking out at a northern brick paved garden with shady trees, established garden beds and shed, it is perfect for relaxed entertaining.
Upstairs, two bedrooms with BIR’s and ceiling fans each with French windows and rooftop views are serviced by a shared ensuite, also renovated in a colonial style, with granite vanity and shower with rainfall shower head. The home also features laundry with guest WC, RC AC, off-street parking, with remote roller door accessed via Little James Street, hydronic heating, and original joinery and doors throughout the home. Located just a short stroll to Barkly Gardens, the Main Yarra Trail, Swan street and Church street shopping villages and train.
