Sitting pretty within delightful leafy gardens on 789 sqm with an additional 2,100 sqm of Licenced Crown Land for you to enjoy, this beautifully restored, renovated and maintained Victorian cottage (circa 1910) has everything you need to live the life you've always dreamed of. From the wide, classically designed, elevated bullnose front verandah, the views taking in the historic Diggings, Beehive Chimney and Mt Tarrangower with glorious sunsets as the backdrop are nothing short of spectacular. Step into a home that has enjoyed considerable, meticulously implemented restorations over the past decade. Re-stumping, roofing, wiring, plumbing and the installation of insulation to all external walls around the house deliver the standard of living we expect today while still retaining the charm and character of the home's beautiful period architecture.
The rooms are spacious and airy, high ceilings and feature windows ensuring an abundance of natural light throughout. Honey-coloured Baltic floorboards flow through the home complementing the largely neutral palette with pops of colour. Off the central hallway are three generous bedrooms, premier suite with built-in robes and fireplace with timber mantle. Beyond is the family zone, a stylish yet relaxing space with chimney-set wood-fire heating and French Doors opening to a vine-covered north-facing paved outdoor patio where you can sit back, relax and entertain overlooking the gardens. The eat-in, country kitchen with its garden views will delight home cooks and entertainers alike with sweeping bench space over white cabinetry plus above-counter cabinetry and open shelves. A Rayburn wood oven sits within the original fireplace, while an induction cooktop and electric oven mean that all manner of cooking and baking is well catered for. The stylish bathroom boasts a large shower, vanity with excellent storage plus additional built-in cabinetry. The toilet is separate and there's an adjacent laundry with access to the rear verandah. Set away from the home and ideal for those working from home or wanting a study or hobby space is a beautifully constructed and finished studio with power and gorgeous leadlight French doors. The home includes ceiling fans, split-system heating/cooling and the original stables have been converted into a double carport. A 5kw solar system feeding back to the grid reduces energy costs while leaving a lighter footprint on the planet. The property has all town services.
The house-block gardens are a mix of lawn areas, stately mature trees, garden beds and shrubbery, while the expansive half acre Crown allotment is fertile, already dotted with a variety of fruit trees and perfect for the establishment of a market garden kept lush by two garden water tanks. There's ample room for a chicken palace as well to complete the self-sustainable lifestyle.
Maldon's café, shops, primary school, swimming pool and sporting facilities are an easy 5minute walk, as is the town's historic Railway Station and museum. The walking trails through the Diggings and the nearby Rail Trail for walking and cycling are an added attraction. 'Roseneath' offers that desirable mix of period charm and contemporary style and convenience; perfect as a permanent home or weekend retreat.
