The Secret Garden, Richmond

Surrounded by a character-filled garden and sitting behind a large hedge is the authentic rustic red, deep green and classic cream façade of The Secret Garden. Wander, dine, read or snooze; the garden is a wondrous, verdant space with its meandering paths, century-old Magnolia tree, lawn and paved entertaining area. It almost spills indoors as it wraps around the L-shaped floorplan. Making the most of the outlook is the generous open plan living and raised dining area as you have multiple doors connecting you to the garden. Situated just of the entry hall, the soaring timber-lined ceiling and flooring combines with a grey palette to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Further up the hallway is the separate traditional country-style kitchen which enjoys direct access to the paved courtyard. This laid-back space offers seating and features timber flooring and benchtops, open shelving and striking blue cabinetry.

Two bedrooms and a bathroom are situated on the other side of the hallway. Sweet dreams await in the first bedroom where you’ll find a queen bed, dark walls, a soaring white detailed ceiling, timber flooring and French doors. Sitting between bedroom one and two is a rustic bathroom with a soak-worthy shower bath combination. Plush flooring and a wall of shiplap cladding can be found in the spacious second bedroom which houses single double bunks.

Beyond a large timber barn door is a separate wing of the house. Timber flooring continues in the second bathroom while a stunning brick fireplace is a focal point in the third single bedroom. A separate comfortable living room is the perfect escape for - or from - the kids. Doors open to the courtyard so families can enjoy that indoor-outdoor lifestyle. And a fourth well-proportioned queen bedroom sits off this space which also opens to the courtyard.


The Area

The Secret Garden is perfectly positioned only a few kilometres from the Melbourne CBD and steps away from Barkly Gardens, trams to the city and the fabulous restaurants, bars and shops of Swan St. and Church St. The Yarra River sits at the end of the street, so it’s around a ten-minute walk to link up with the main walking trails. Within a 30-minute walk or 15-minute tram ride you’ll reach the MCG and the numerous offerings within Melbourne’s sport precinct. From here you’re within easy reach of the Royal Botanic Gardens, the art precinct and the bustling CBD.
