Richmond VIC 3121

The pride of its prestigious Richmond Hill surroundings, "Loyola" c.1868 is a substantial double story Victorian villa whose fully renovated three bedroom plus study/4th bedroom accommodation enjoys a prime hilltop location just minutes from the heart of the CBD. Elevated and set on 354sqm approx. with breathtaking City views, generous family proportions offer a sublime combination of rich period detail and timeless contemporary comfort with the inner city luxury of garage parking near elite private schools, the MCG, an endless array of shopping and dining destinations, trams, trains, Royal Botanic Gardens, Yarra River and transport links that include the Monash Freeway.

Presiding over one of the precinct's most prized and picturesque tree lined streets, a grand balconied faade with bay windows and delicate iron lacework forms an imposing introduction to equally impressive interiors that feature elegant formal, sophisticated family and private indoor/outdoor entertaining areas. Arranged around an arched hallway, soaring rosette ceilings and original fireplaces adorn a formal sitting room and executive study with built in storage before spacious open plan living/dining areas with gas fire, a large gourmet kitchen impeccably appointed with Gaggenau and Miele appliances, and an expansive high walled courtyard designed for entertaining with built in smeg BBQ and direct pedestrian entry via Waverley Street. Above, carefully renovated/extended proportions have created three light filled bedrooms including the main with fireplace, separate walk in robe/dressing, ensuite and balcony, a second with fireplace and robes, and a palatial third featuring extensive built in robes/ storage easily adaptable to two bedrooms if required. A long list of highlights includes both up and downstairs family bathrooms plus ground floor powder room, ducted heating/cooling, multiple original fireplaces, high ceilings, extensive custom storage, timber floors and oversized remote rear garage via Waverley Street.
