Set behind established gardens and a charming front verandah, 7 Richards Street, Eaglehawk offers a beautiful blend of character, comfort and everyday practicality in a location that places Eaglehawk's best amenities within easy reach. With its welcoming cottage façade, leafy surrounds, generous allotment of approximately 800sqm and a flexible four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, this is a home that feels private, warm and wonderfully easy to live in from the moment you arrive.
The front garden creates a lovely sense of arrival, with mature hedging, gravel paths, layered planting and a peaceful water feature giving the home an inviting, established feel. The classic weatherboard exterior, verandah entry, timber detailing and pitched roofline add immediate charm, while the long side driveway, excellent off-street parking, large rear shed and covered carport area bring genuine practicality for families, tradies, hobbyists or those needing space for a caravan, trailer or extra vehicles.
Inside, the home opens with warmth and character before extending into a more contemporary rear living zone. Timber-look flooring, soft neutral tones and natural light create a calm and comfortable atmosphere throughout, while the long floorplan gives the home excellent separation between living spaces and bedrooms. At the front, a generous lounge provides a quiet retreat with a cosy feel, making it ideal for relaxing away from the main family hub.
The central open-plan living, dining and kitchen area forms the heart of the home, offering a bright and spacious everyday setting with easy connection to the outdoor patio. The kitchen has been stylishly updated with gloss white cabinetry, marble-look splashback, excellent storage, a freestanding gas cooker, stainless steel rangehood, dishwasher and a large island bench that adds both preparation space and casual seating appeal. It is a practical, modern space that feels well suited to busy family living, entertaining or simply enjoying a more open and connected way of life.
The bedroom layout offers excellent flexibility, with four bedrooms positioned across the home. The primary bedroom includes built-in robe storage and access to a bathroom, while additional bedrooms provide options for children, guests, working from home or creating a hobby space if required. Two separate living spaces further enhance the sense of flexibility, allowing households to spread out comfortably or create distinct zones for relaxation, family time and everyday routine.
The bathrooms have been impressively updated, with striking marble-look tiling, black fittings, timber vanity tops, a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and stylish feature tiles creating a fresh and modern finish. These spaces bring a polished contemporary feel to the home, balancing beautifully with the character of the original cottage façade.
The home is also well equipped for year-round comfort, with ducted evaporative cooling, gas ducted heating and a split system adding to the everyday liveability. Practical inclusions such as gas hot water, sewer connection, built-in storage, a functional laundry, generous pantry area and natural gas connection further support the home's easy family appeal.
Outdoors, the rear patio provides a sheltered space to enjoy the garden, while the backyard offers a lovely mix of established greenery, lawn, gravel areas and private garden pockets. The large rear shed adds valuable storage or workshop potential, while the broad driveway, side vehicle access and covered parking create excellent functionality without compromising the home's leafy, cottage-style appeal.
The location completes the picture beautifully. Positioned close to Lake Neangar, Canterbury Park, Eaglehawk township, IGA supermarket, local schools, sporting facilities and everyday services, this address offers a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and connected. Whether you are seeking a character-filled family home, a spacious downsizer with room for vehicles and hobbies, or an Eaglehawk property with charm, updates and genuine practicality, 7 Richards Street is a home with warmth, personality and plenty to offer.
