Situated within Daylesford's esteemed lake precinct, this Tuscan-style retreat embodies a refined yet unpretentious way of living. Just a short stroll from the lake's edge and the main Street of Daylesford, the home is thoughtfully positioned to offer both tranquillity and proximity to the town's cafés, boutiques, and cultural offerings.
North-facing windows welcome an ever-changing play of light, highlighting polished concrete floors, limewashed walls, and hand-rendered surfaces. The interiors are understated yet considered, blending rustic textures with a sense of quiet sophistication.
Designed for both function and atmosphere, the home unfolds across two levels. The ground floor features an open style kitchen with treetop views, leading into an open living and dining area where French doors extend to a vine-covered pergola. This sheltered outdoor space invites long, unhurried meals and a seamless connection to the garden. A discreet scullery-laundry with an adjoining powder room enhances practicality, while two adaptable rooms offer space for a study, library, or guest quarters.
The upper level is dedicated to rest and retreat. Two north-facing bedrooms, each with built-in robes and Juliet balconies, frame views of the terraced gardens. A secondary lounge provides a quiet alcove for reading or reflection, while the generous bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub and bespoke vanity, lends a sense of everyday indulgence.
Beyond the home, the low maintenance layered gardens and pathways unfold around the home with a mix of productivity and beauty-espaliered fruit trees, rosemary in abundance a flourishing vegetable patch, and a shaded dining nook created by the canopy of trees showcase a cultivated yet relaxed setting. A powered workshop adjoins the covered carport, with additional off-street parking available.
