Your Own Piece Of History, Upgraded and Ready to Enjoy
It is a pleasure to present to market this timeless gem in the centre of the historic township of Richmond. The current owners have been meticulous in fully renovating throughout and creating a quality, charming home with flexible living layouts and yet retaining the character of the original period of its construction and additions dating from the 1800's. The property is situated on a large flat block of 1125m2 convenient to the centre of the village. Retaining the front facade and verandahs, the house has two access points at both front and rear and provides flexibility for independent style living between two sections. Entry at the front right opens into a hallway with high ceilings and showcasing original timbers and a thoughtfully designed showcase of some of the numerous layers of wallpaper uncovered during renovation. The hall links a spacious double bedroom, modern bathroom, laundry and sunny lounge/living or 4th bedroom complete with hidden kitchenette behind folding doors. This front room would be a great place for a home office/study or for the overnight guests. Linking down the central original section of the home are front and back porches, main dining room and tastefully decorated and generous bedroom. The other wing with its own hallway with similar character features is where you discover the main kitchen, front lounge/living, second bathroom and the smaller of the the bedrooms but still size enough to set up two single beds. Currently zoned residential and adjoining the main commercial area of this popular township there is potential to further utilise this attractive property. You have a blank canvas in the backyard area for landscaping and ancillary structures. The area provides plenty of off street parking and with the right process and approvals you could possibly develop a home business. The care and diligence taken with the renovation presents an obvious opportunity for not only flexible family living, but to run a home business with focus most likely on tourist heritage accommodation experience. The owner will even consider negotiations on a fully furnished basis. This is truly an opportunity that deserves serious consideration and more importantly a closer inspection of the wonderful presentation of the interior of this home. If you take the time I am sure you will be impressed and taken by the charm and quality of this character profile property.
