Subdivision Potential (STCA)

Were you an Aussie kid in the 1980s or just love that era? The outdoors generation who made their own fun. Parents entertained and played Canasta in one part of the house while kids played board games, watched weekly movies and ran slightly wild in another. It is no wonder many of us look back at this decade with a sweet nostalgia. A unique opportunity to recreate such a lifestyle is on offer in this fantastic solid brick home of large proportions with many original, charming features. This paired with thirteen acres to call your own, provides everything you need to embrace country living with your family that they too will fondly look back upon.

The home is peacefully located down a long tree lined driveway. An impressive veranda wraps around the front and sides providing shelter from the elements and a wonderful spot to sit and soak up the picturesque surrounds.

Inside, the home mostly in original condition, showcases the very best of 1980s design elements. Consider exposed bricks, feature arch doorways, warm cork style flooring, soaring timber lined cathedral ceilings and bay windows. Multi levels add more character and also assist to zone areas. The home is now waiting for its new owner to incorporate some modern-day comforts and give it the revival it is most worthy of.

The front entrance foyer is grand and private and invites you to take off your jacket and shoes and prepare to unwind. You are guided into the first of three large living spaces featuring a cosy wood heater and adjoining the large entertainer's kitchen. Cooking together will be a joy in this elevated area, with loads of bench space, island bench, wall oven and an abundance of storage. A feature servery provides a charming link through to the separate dining room.

Of the three bedrooms, the large master sits privately elevated at one end with a generous WIR leading to the original ensuite. Arched and octagonal windows create great character here while another large window offers stunning leafy views. Down from here is another private living space completing the highly desirable parent's retreat.

The kid's wing boasts two large bedrooms with BIRs and a TV/lounge room. These are serviced by the family bathroom. Again, generous in size and in original condition with spa bath, separate shower and vanity. A separate toilet with powder room and laundry with external access completes this zone.

Outside, horse enthusiasts will be very pleased with the three paddocks, two at the rear with water to them and one at the front of the property as well as the original stables. The outdoor entertaining area is large and sunny and deserving of a restoration. Perhaps a woodfire pizza oven could feature in the existing brick BBQ space? A two-lot subdivision (STCA) is an enticing prospect for the astute purchaser.

Additional features include; ceiling fans, new carpet in the bedrooms, feature timber panelling and built in shelving, abundant cupboard space, double undercover carport, bore and small dam.

This wonderfully designed family home, grand in scale and immediately comfortable, offers exciting options to slowly update where you see fit. Provide your loved ones with wholesome country living on the doorstep of Kyneton with excellent schools, fabulous eateries and the V/Line train service connecting you to Melbourne or Bendigo within the hour. This is a special one, well worth your time and attention.
