Richmond 509 Swan Street
Period Charm, Contemporary Enhancements and Future Potential
The charming period facade of this single-fronted, 2 bedroom brick home welcomes visitors with a traditional front verandah enhanced by fretwork, original tiling and leadlight door surrounds set behind a picket fence under magnificent street trees. Showcasing a stunning contemporary rear kitchen/living/dining space, this well located home offers scope for further modernisation supplemented by the vision of a possible upper-level addition (STCA).
The traditional floorplan of the era, a long hallway with high ceilings, roses and elegant archway, accesses the 2 carpeted and spacious robed bedrooms. The sleek, predominantly white bathroom provides handy provision for laundry facilities.
The hallway opens out to the superb, north facing kitchen and living /dining area where huge doors flow out to the rear deck and alfresco entertaining area. There is potential to create a lush and secluded garden space or alternatively take advantage of the ROW roll door to enjoy the convenience of off-street parking.
Under a towering skylight, the stylish contemporary kitchen features an expansive stone island bench with a breakfast bar that could easily double as a WFH space bathed in natural light. Full-wall cabinetry and pull-out pantry drawers offer capacious storage, plus quality appliances and a striking black and white splashback.
Stroll to Burnley Park and the tranquil Yarra River walk/cycle paths, playground, sporting reserves and BBQ facilities. Zoned for Melbourne Girls College (within walking distance), Hawthorn West Primary and Richmond High. Walk to Burnley Station, tram at the front door to the CBD, MCG and Sports and Entertainment Precinct, with Victoria Gardens, Bridge Road and Swan Street shops and eateries nearby.

An inner suburb of Melbourne, Richmond is located only 2km east from the CBD. Since the early 1990s, the suburb has been transformed by urban renewal and development. Richmond was socially reinvented, with the long lasting industry and manufacturing moving out, and middle-class Melbourne discovering the charms of inner-city living and Victorian architecture.
