Built from a passion for style, recycling and sustainable living, this home makes clever use of its 426 sqm (approx) allotment without ever feeling compromised. Step inside and the living space does the talking. North facing and generously proportioned, it is framed by a wall of windows that draw the garden indoors and fill the room with light throughout the day, while a high arched timber-clad ceiling with feature beams adds a real sense of scale. A split system, a gas heater and underfloor insulation keep things comfortable year-round, and floorboards run underfoot through the whole home.
The living area connects through to the kitchen via a servery window, opening the two spaces up to one another while keeping their own distinct character. The kitchen carries that same thoughtfulness, its high arched timber-clad ceiling and feature beams continuing overhead. Timber benchtops, an island bench and a 900mm freestanding gas cooktop with oven bring a country warmth that feels made for scones and cream in the community hall down the road. Storage is generous, and external access to the rear of the property adds everyday practicality.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms sit alongside a bathroom with shower over bath, toilet and wall basin. Outside, the garden offers a private north facing sitting area under the canopy of ornamental pear trees, with quince, plum, apple, nectarine, cherry, medlar and olive trees, together with a water tank, completing a setting that rewards a slower, more considered way of living.
Whether you are downsizing, buying your first home or adding to an investment portfolio, this property offers a combination of character, sustainability and community spirit, all within easy reach of Castlemaine.
