Buyer snaps up sleek, sophisticated Richmond home with rich heritage

Wide river frontage, landscaped grounds, historic features and contemporary comforts, this home is as elegant as it is luxurious — no wonder it sold so quickly.

52 St Johns Circle, Richmond.

ALL it took was a few days.

When this simply stunning modern home with an 1833 heritage hit the market it was bound to be popular.

From the glossy home magazine-style interiors to the riverside location and the space, privacy and luxury, it appeared to tick every single box and then some.

And sure enough, on the first weekend that the property was on the market No.52 St Johns Circle in Richmond was sold — and for a cracking price, too.

Lovely spot to sit.

Expertly styled.

A place to indulge your creativity.

Listed with Knight Frank at “Offers over $2 million”, a cash buyer swooped in with a winning offer of $2.08m.

It is easy to see why buyers were ready to pounce. The four-bedroom home is set on 3300sq m of land with river frontage. That is one of those special propositions that come about in Tasmania — if you know where to look.

The property’s gardens are an absolute treat. They have been landscaped to incorporate paved areas, stone walls and terraces that complement the home’s heritage facade.

Inside, the abode has been sensitively restored and extended to create an impressive country home.

Modern updates meld with Georgian elegance while timber and stone accents throughout combine with a tasteful palette of muted tones.

Wow factor at every turn.

Find a favourite relaxed space.

Stately elegance.

A generously proportioned open-plan living space is home to the family room, dining and the well-appointed kitchen. Bi-fold doors open to the wide deck.

English wallpapers, dado panelling and original fireplaces enhance the historic ambience of the home.

Being sold for more than $2m puts this magnificent property among Tasmania’s top sales of the year.

In historic Richmond, it is one of the best sales on record.

Per realestate.com.au, an 1830s Old Regency mansion on Richmond Road — with a 10 unit stable conversion — fetched $3.001m in 2017.

And Real Estate Institute of Tasmania data shows a Richmond property was sold for $2.05m back in 2007. That is some pretty good company to keep.
