This superbly restored and renovated character home in one of Colac's most sought-after locations is the property you can usually only dream of owning.
But the meticulously remastered, four-bedroom home is on the market, and inspection is a must, to truly understand the sense of space and style on offer at 53 Calvert Street.
The property is just a minute's stroll from Colac's Botanic Gardens, cafe and lake, with an easy walk to the city's central shops and services.
The home itself is impressive from the moment you step onto the front verandah and into the wide, welcoming entrance hall and take in the original features which have been retained and blended perfectly in a seamless flow with the new features which are all in keeping with the period.
The fully replastered 3.6-metre ceilings and black polished timber floors create a feeling of grandeur while the floor-plan is ideal for a growing family or couple who love to entertain and host visitors.
There's a private, formal lounge towards the front of the home, a spacious open-plan family, dining, kitchen area at the rear of the home, stunning family bathroom with beautiful free-standing bath, master bedroom with a brilliant walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and floor-to-ceiling designer wardrobes in the front two bedrooms.
Every room is over-sized to provide multiple living opportunities to suit the new owner's needs, with options for study areas and a queen-sized bed in each bedroom or convert any room into a large home office, with the formal lounge offering a separate entrance.
The kitchen features a Belling deluxe free-standing dual-fuel cooker to delight any home chef, dishwasher, plumbing for your refrigerator, ample cupboard and pantry space and breakfast bench.
The kitchen-dining area boasts bi-fold doors which flow out to a beautiful plaster-lined verandah, deck and north-facing backyard, with new fencing, new 14-metre-by-seven-metre shed and plenty of space to relax, play and enjoy.
There's also a huge laundry and mud room off the kitchen with an abundance of storage, which also provides a perfect entrance from the timber-lined carport into the house.
Included on the extensive list of additional practical and appealing features are central heating, split systems in the two living areas, under-floor insulation, double-glazed windows, new wiring, impeccable quality fittings and fixtures and gas hot water.
The home is being offered for sale by Expressions of Interest, closing at 2.00pm on 7th August.
