Contemporary cool, fabulously luxe and completely convenient is what Armsby Architects have created at one of Richmond's most iconic landmarks. The aptly named Richmond Icon, is a residential complex that showcases the unification of the heritage-listed Dimmey's building and clock tower, circa 1910, with modern architecture. Here, the needs and wants of modern-day urban dwellers are prioritised and the historic past carefully considered. Sleek design-features and generous spaces meld with striking architectural elements, functionality and resort-style luxuries.
As you enter the building your eye will be drawn up towards the dramatic, double-storey height lobby presenting striking glazed ceilings. Apartment 204 is one level up, a stone's throw away from the action of Swan Street; yet, on entering the apartment, it feels super tranquil. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment will impress. Once inside you'll immediately notice the gorgeous, oversized terrace framed by stunning American Romanesque arched windows at end of the hallway. To your right is the essential home office with a built-in desk followed by a bedroom, a stylish central bathroom and a concealed Euro laundry with a sink. The second bedroom has a private ensuite and direct access to the terrace. Both bedrooms are carpeted and fitted with mirrored robes. The bathrooms are equally elegant and timeless displaying large, glossy charcoal tiles and mirrored cabinetry. Exceptional quality and workmanship are also evident in the smart, two-toned kitchen fitted with a full suite of Miele appliances, Caesarstone benches and plenty of cabinetry with bar seating at the island bench. Secure intercom entry, lift access, ducted heating and cooling, ethernet wired throughout, oak timber floors, quality carpets, double glazing and undercover parking with storage cages are included.
