‘Orlando’ – A substantial inner-city family sanctuary

A magnificent double-fronted façade beyond manicured garden and prized off-street parking reveals all of the outstanding family space, ornate period character and brilliant north light of ‘Orlando’ c1913. A timeless, architect-designed extension with a second-level children’s wing complements the original refinement of this substantial Edwardian offering 5 large bedrooms including a downstairs main with walk-in robe and impressive ensuite. Enhanced by hydronic heating, air-conditioning, ducted vacuum and alarm system, the extensive layout is launched by a bedroom (OFP), powder room, laundry (drying cupboard) and a 3rd bedroom (OFP) before transitioning to a light and airy, modern family zone. Adjoining a huge granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances, superbly-defined living and dining spaces (Jetmaster FP) include bifold doors to a north-side deck (retractable awning) and a secluded garden-set terrace. Upstairs are 2 further bedrooms with balconies, versatile retreat and bathroom. Also offering high period ceilings, polished floorboards, exquisite stained-glass windows and vast attic storage, ‘Orlando’ presents a rare family lifestyle opportunity in the heart of Richmond close to schools (Richmond PS, Melbourne Girls’ College), Bridge Road and Swan Street retail-restaurant precincts, CBD/MCG-bound trams, East Richmond station and parkland.
