Escape the city without sacrificing style at this beautifully updated country retreat in the heart of historic Blackwood.
Set on a generous 1,335sqm (approx.) allotment surrounded by established gardens and native birdlife, this unique home is the perfect opportunity for buyers seeking a tree change, a charming weekender or an affordable first home with room to breathe.
Privately positioned at the end of a sweeping driveway, the home immediately impresses with its elevated setting and eclectic blend of rustic industrial character and contemporary comfort. A welcoming entry hall, complete with skylight, sets the tone for the thoughtfully updated interiors beyond.
Filled with natural light, the home offers three generous bedrooms, with one ideally suited as a home office or study for those embracing flexible work-from-home living. Polished concrete floors flow throughout the spacious open-plan living and dining area, creating a stylish yet low-maintenance space designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining.
The renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring warm timber benchtops, a striking island bench, soft-close cabinetry, integrated dishwasher, gas cooktop, electric oven, excellent storage and a cleverly incorporated European laundry.
The central bathroom has also been updated with a shower over the bath, while the north-facing sunroom is a standout feature. Bathed in sunshine throughout the day, with rustic slate flooring and twin French doors opening to the garden, it offers a versatile second living space that seamlessly connects indoors and out.
Outside, the established gardens provide a peaceful sanctuary beneath a mature tree canopy. Stone terraces, rock walls and thoughtfully planted native and cool-climate gardens create an inviting landscape that is both beautiful and easy to enjoy.
Adding even more flexibility, the former garage has been transformed into a fully lined and insulated studio with new electrical wiring. Whether you're working from home, pursuing creative passions, accommodating guests or creating a peaceful retreat, with some further updates this versatile space opens up endless possibilities.
Whether you're searching for a permanent country residence, a relaxing weekend escape or an investment opportunity for short-stay accommodation, this property offers exceptional lifestyle appeal in one of regional Victoria's most charming villages.
Enjoy the best of village life with the iconic Blackwood Hotel, the Post Office Café, scenic walking trails, mineral springs and the beautiful Lerderderg State Park all just moments from your door.
