1/18 Riversdale Road

Hawthorn VIC 3122

She's heritage-listed in the streets, but fully renovated in the sheets.

One of five in a 1930s block that knew exactly what it was doing, from the textured glass to the sash windows and that private north-facing courtyard where you'll eat figs off a plate and pretend you're in a Nigella special.

You step in.
The ceilings are high.
The archways are soft.
It doesn't just welcome you... it undresses you.
Every curve whispers, "stay a little longer."

The kind of place that lights a candle before it cooks you dinner.

The living room doesn't shout.
It smoulders.
Original fireplace, leadlight windows and just enough room for deep conversation or dramatic silence.
This is where the plot thickens.

And unfolds over dinner in the adjoining dining, with candlelight, confession, and maybe a second bottle.

Let's not pretend these bedrooms are extra.
Tall ceilings. Wide boards. Full robes.
You'll sleep like a baby and wake up like a liability.
And yes, the second bedroom's so cute it could convince a baby to sleep through the night (no guarantees provided).

Kitchen's got timber benchtops, low lighting and a layout that screams "I own a Le Creuset and yes, I use it."
It's the kind of space where risotto gets stirred slowly, barefoot, with jazz playing
and the only thing simmering harder than the sauce is the tension.

This bathroom doesn't judge.
It just steams up politely, conceals your hangover in flattering light,
and holds your shampoo like a lover.
Oh, and the laundry isn't shoved into a cupboard, it's got its own space, dignity intact.

It's secure.
It's got a lock-up garage, aka, inner-east unicorn status.
It's Fairview Park at the end of the street and Richmond just a flirt away.

This isn't a flat.
It's not even an apartment.
It's a move. A lifestyle pivot. A soft-launch into your next era.
