Nestled in a quiet, tightly held cul-de-sac, 4 Barkas Street offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home in one of Daylesford’s most sought-after locations. Set on a generous 956m2 block, the property boasts spectacular views over the town and Wombat State Forest, with a secluded front garden providing complete privacy. The house features three well-appointed bedrooms, all with built-in robes; two offer stunning rear views, while the third overlooks the tranquil, Japanese-inspired front garden complete with a fishpond. The home’s two renovated bathrooms include heated towel rails, with the main bathroom incorporating laundry facilities and the second serving as an en suite.
The modern, functional kitchen integrates seamlessly with the living area, while a private, enclosed rear veranda with glass balustrades provides the perfect space to relax and take in the panoramic views. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted gas heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, and a potbelly stove with fan. Sustainability features include a recently installed 6.5kW solar system, electric heat pump for hot water, and full-length electrically operated blinds on the rear veranda and master bedroom. Roof and underfloor insulation further enhance the home’s energy efficiency.
Outside, the property includes a carport for convenient and secure parking. The large, enclosed garden features dry stone terraces, a sprawling lawn, rose beds, fruit trees, and some unique plantings, supported by a reticulated watering system. Freshly painted inside and out, the home also boasts new carpets in the bedrooms, polished wooden boards in the main living area, and extensive under-house storage with power. With easy walking access to the Convent Gallery, Sunday Market, restaurants, and cafes, this property offers a perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and potential, including scope for rear extensions.
