ENTRY POINT

RISING from its gritty past, Richmond has blossomed into the "it" place to shop, live, drink and dine. Providing bidding stays within cooee of the quote, this little house is exactly the sort of property first-home buyers have been fighting over for months. The floor plan ticks all the boxes: two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, an open dining and living space and a small kitchen that joins a private courtyard via a sliding glass door. Buffed Baltic pine floorboards, a lick of white paint and air-conditioning reveal successful attempts to tart up the Victorian cottage but there is still room for improvement, if your budget allows.
