Perfectly positioned on an 1,853 sqm approx block, this lovingly restored landmark 1950s home expresses the refinement and historic resonance of the post-war era. Behind the traditional triple fronted façade, subtly modernised with black facias and window edging, is a light filled home presented with ‘black Japan’ floors, a confident use of wall colour and appealing mid-century styling.
This home allows for effortless entertaining and spaces to work, live and play. The heart of the home is the custom-made kitchen with hardwood benchtops, farmhouse apron sink, and five gas burner freestanding oven, located adjacent to a dining living zone and with easy access onto the entertainer’s deck via French doors. For families, there is the addition of a reassuring line of sight to the outdoors, which is ideal for watching children at play.
Quiet time is just as important as togetherness these days with a central lounge acting as a cosy retreat, complete with an open fire and ornamental surround, and the original garage offers the perfect solution for a work from home environment, guest bedroom or that longed for restoration project.
3 bedrooms are located on the east wall and wake to morning light, 2 of these bedrooms include BIR’s. The master bedroom has new French Doors that open onto the deck to enjoy the garden. A study, accessible via the dining room, could be easily converted to a 4th bedroom for a larger family. They all share a central bathroom, which has been recently renovated, sympathetic to the period with pedestal ceramic sink intact. Luxe black tapware, black free-standing bath and glossy subway tile modernise the room creating an industrial aesthetic with a hint of glam. The newly updated laundry includes a second WC for added convenience.
This is a property that is as much about the outdoors as indoors: winding paths, a flurry of garden beds and mature shade trees add drama and colour to the site. It is a generous yard that will bring hours of enjoyment pottering around, equipped with raised vegetable gardens, pergola, and chicken coop, or simply luxuriate on the deck, overlooking the lush surrounds with a drink in hand.
Malmsbury is a small and welcoming community, and the home is a short stroll to Mollison Street, the botanic gardens and the historic train station. The village of Malmsbury is approximately 70 minutes’ drive from Melbourne and less than 6 minutes northwest from Kyneton. It’s also accessible by a reliable and fast V-Line train service.
