Harcourt enjoys an enviable location midway between Bendigo and Castlemaine and only 90 minutes from Melbourne. Add a welcoming community, lovely village feel, primary school, post office, service station, general store and café and it's no surprise Harcourt has become one of the region's most desirable lifestyle destinations for a variety of buyers. In the heart of this pretty village, on a generous 1,239 sqm block graced by a stately Liquidambar tree, you'll find this comfortable mid-century, brick and iron home. The gently sloping block makes for an elevated entry into a deco-era interior with dark timber detail including picture rails, doors and traditional sash windows that contrast beautifully with the crisp white palette, decorative cornices, plasterwork and nicely updated features. At the hub of the home is a spacious open plan living space with original floorboards flowing through to an eat-in kitchen that meets every need and boasts an original IXL wood stove in the kitchen fireplace. There are three queen size bedrooms, one with tapestry brick fireplace and double sash windows looking out over the front porch. The centrally located bathroom has been updated to provide white floor to ceiling tiles, shower over bath, toilet and vanity with great storage. A well-proportioned laundry with dual sinks and built-in cabinetry opens to a spacious mud room with exposed brick and built-in storage and beyond, a rear-facing porch leading to the back garden with its mix of lawn and shrubbery. Lending itself to further landscaping, there is room for home extensions, swimming pool and shedding if desired. Additional highlights include gas and electric cooking, original floorboards in family areas, carpeted bedrooms, linen closet and all town services.
Offering easy, relaxed living as is, there is unlimited scope for further improvement and individual touches to take the home to the next level. Whether you're a first homebuyer, down-sizer, tree-changer or investor, the savvy buyer will readily appreciate this property's current appeal and exciting potential. Inspection is a must.
