7 Bowen Street, Richmond

Utterly transformed from local landmark into unique inner city residence, the builders of Richmond’s first Cobb & Co coach house could never have imagined its original c.1871 dimensions would offer luxurious executive accommodation over 150 years in the future. Positioned on the corner of a quiet cul de sac high on the north side of Richmond Hill, the enchanting street front façade that would have welcomed weary coachmen and their horses remains, providing perfect privacy for the now sensational architectural interiors within. Beautifully balancing its heritage charisma with contemporary form and functionality, a series of expertly designed spaces reflect a considered and highly curated approach to inner city living with expansive windows for abundant natural light and leafy outlooks, extensive custom storage in every room, fitted basement storage rooms, secluded yet sunny living and indoor/outdoor entertaining areas, lush, landscaped plantings and premium finishes throughout. Positioned just a short stroll from the vibrancy of Bridge Road, the Epworth Hospital, MCG and CBD (all within a 5km radius), this unique three bedroom home delivers an unrivalled lock up and leave lifestyle indeed. Beyond its enchanting original entry, generous north facing living and dining areas and a smart marble kitchen featuring AEG cooking appliances, Miele dishwasher and serving/dining bar are surrounded by lushly landscaped alfresco areas with tall sliding glass doors providing access for any occasion entertaining. A ground floor bedroom featuring extensive storage, concealed desk and marble open fireplace, collaborates with a nearby bathroom offering freestanding egg bath and step in shower to allow living over a single level whilst upstairs, two separately zoned bedrooms include one with landing study/reading nook, open fireplace and twin built-in robes, the main offering its own retreat with double ensuite, extensive sensor lit robes/storage featuring pull down hanging and drawers, charming window seat and tranquil rooftop views.
