2/28 Garfield Street, Richmond VIC 3121

Richmond warehouses aren’t that easy to come by anymore. Tightly held for their superb central locations near unsurpassed lifestyle conveniences and amenities and of course for their cool and sometimes quirky, but always iconic warehouse character. Usually consisting of multiple stories, exposed brick walls, hidden balconies, clever use of space, and in many cases unique warehouse features including original windows and slanting roofs.

This property is no different. The edgy exterior alone will tug at those warehouse-loving heart strings. On the ground floor is a convenient single car garage accessed via roller door. It has a painted concrete floor, plumbing, high ceilings and internal access. The secure front entrance gate takes you down a side walkway to the leafy and private main entrance through to a spacious entry room. This versatile space can easily double as a home office, study or a fantastic storage area you could custom fit with bench seating, shelving and hooks for example. Further along are two carpeted bedrooms, both with robes and ceiling fans - one features original industrial windows and a wall of exposed brick. Adjacent is the bright and modern, fully tiled bathroom and directly opposite there is handy under stair storage with laundry fixtures included.

The top floor is expansive, light and airy and easily accommodates a huge dining table and oversized sofas for lounging and entertaining - a lovely extension is the terracotta tiled outdoor room that provides a great little spot for intimate dinners and stargazing. The attractive open plan kitchen has a functional layout, it’s fitted with good storage, lots of bench space and a great island that provides bar seating.

The overall feel is a mix of cool, cozy and privacy, it’s instantly likeable and very livable as is. Potentially, another level could be added (STCA) and for lovers of interior decorating there is scope to update. A fabulously private, versatile and low-maintenance property conveniently close to nearby transport options and located in a quiet street around the corner from buzzing Victoria St shopping precinct, restaurants, cafes and bars.
