Vintage Richmond: Clinker Brick Charm and Character in a Leafy Estate
Step back in time and claim your own slice of Richmond’s historical past. Built on the site of the former Richmond Racecourse, this English Cottage Style estate was an innovative creation of the early 1940s with its distinctive cul-de-sac planning and clinker brick homes. This peaceful and leafy enclave is protected today by a Heritage Overlay.
The 2 bedroom, semi-detached, clinker brick home has been well maintained, offering the opportunity for modernisation while retaining its original character. A surprisingly spacious north-facing back garden could inspire a rear extension (STCA), and currently provides a versatile bungalow that would easily serve as a home office or 3rd bedroom.
Both the bathroom and kitchen are in mainly original neat condition with an updated bathroom vanity and modern, free-standing kitchen stove. Comfortable and ready to move into, this delightful gem will entice first home buyers, singles, couples, small families and downsizers, or provide a rewarding restoration project for historical home enthusiasts.
Burnley Park is within walking distance with the walk/cycle path winding along the Yarra River.
Burnley Station is nearby and trams on Swan Street and Bridge Road run to the CBD, MCG and Sports and Entertainment Precinct. Victoria Gardens SC, shops, restaurants, cafes and wine bars are easily accessible. Zoned for Hawthorn West Primary School, Richmond High School and Melbourne Girls College.

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.
