John Sewell’s House - Iconic Georgian residence with modern architectural brilliance

An extraordinary residence of unmatched quality, this architecturally designed masterpiece seamlessly blends the charm of the original Georgian homestead with sophisticated modern luxury in the heart of historic Richmond.

Known as John Sewell’s House, originally constructed in 1832, this iconic home has been meticulously restored to the highest standard, featuring striking exposed stone walls, and magnificent stringy gum timber floors and accents that echo its historic character and charm.

A unique and thoughtful design ensures an abundance of natural light without compromising on privacy, where an impressive glass atrium with automatic blinds connects the accommodation and living zones. Extensive stacking glass doors maximise space, along with a fully glazed ceiling which enhance the sunlit atmosphere.

The home’s effortless flow extends to an internal courtyard, positioned perfectly to capture sunlight throughout the day. A pergola draped in lush vines forms a tranquil retreat, seamlessly blending nature and architecture while adding vibrant colour, delicate fragrance, and privacy. A BBQ nook, complete with a pizza oven and granite-topped cupboards, elevates the outdoor entertaining experience.

A statement of refined taste, the exquisite kitchen is crafted with rich leatherwood timbers and sleek styling. Ample storage, expansive benchtops, and premium European appliances, including an integrated fridge and freezer reflect the home’s commitment to quality.
Flawless luxury continues through the accommodation, where an oversized master suite impresses with private courtyard access, a walk-in robe and a spa-like en-suite complete with a deep, oval bath. A second large bedroom, complete with built-in robes provides an ideal retreat for guests, extending to the terrace. Two further bedrooms are accessed via a timber staircase.

The original cottage wing of the home has been thoughtfully renovated, with new wiring and plumbing, and a wood heater encased in sandstone was added in 2015. The modern extension was completed in 2007, creating a breathtaking fusion of old-world charm and contemporary sophistication.

Climate control is effortless with underfloor heating and two heat pumps, harmonised with passive solar design to ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency.

Set on 1,172m² of beautifully landscaped grounds, the gardens are a visual masterpiece, combining low-maintenance native and European plantings, manicured lawns, and a secluded raised vegetable garden with a fully integrated watering system.

A Flagstone driveway leads to a double garage with internal access and a rear roller door for convenient garden entry. The laundry is housed within the garage, maximising space and functionality. Additional storage is provided by a rear shed.

This remarkable home, featuring both sandstone heritage and modern architectural excellence, has been celebrated in Australian and international design circles, even winning prestigious architectural awards.

Rarely does a home of such rich legacy and contemporary luxury come to market, designed to offer a superior level of comfort, and positioned in the heart of Richmond, surrounded by the village's welcoming atmosphere and historic allure, creating a truly enviable lifestyle.
