6A Melrose Street, Richmond VIC 3121

Contemporary cool exterior clad in a mix of materials hints at what lies inside this unique two-bedroom property split over two levels. Once you pass the charming pebbled and treed entrance you are met with an inspiring interior – immediately the high ceilings, timber staircase, large wood burning fireplace and timber floors set the tone. Industrial chic elements blend beautifully with functionality across both levels. On the ground floor the free-flowing layout includes a large, welcoming living room, a centrally located kitchen and a dining area. Textured walls add interest and oversized sliding doors allow plenty of light to flood in. The kitchen is a good size, it’s fitted with a cool stainless-steel benchtop, splash back and appliances. Opposite the kitchen is an intimate courtyard that could be a nice spot for a quiet coffee and at the rear is the dining room with views to the oasis-like yard lined with majestic birch trees. A handy tiled and mirrored guest toilet and laundry is also on the lower level.

Upstairs you’ll find the two bedrooms, both with timber flooring and the main with a cute balcony and open-style robing. The stylish bathroom has lovely aqua mosaic accents, a large shower and a separate marble-edged bath for a dreamy soak at the end of the day. Additional space to accommodate a study area or a home office is on the wide landing that also affords spectacular views across to the iconic silos and to the level below. Off street parking for two cars is accessed down the rear lane via roller door.

Cremorne in case you didn’t know is one of Melbourne’s oldest, smallest and coolest suburbs, bounded by the Swan and Church Streets, the Yarra River and Punt Rd. This means you’re a hop and a skip from the Botanic Gardens, the Main Yarra Trail and world class sporting and entertainment arenas. Vibrant Swan St shopping and dining precinct is on your doorstep as well as numerous little cafes, art galleries and cool bars.
