Just a stone’s throw from High Street, this charming home offers something increasingly hard to find in Mansfield: generous living, genuine character and the freedom to walk almost everywhere.
Set behind a traditional white picket fence, the home has benefited from a number of thoughtful updates while retaining plenty of its original personality. Polished timber floorboards, traditional double-hung windows, spacious light-filled rooms and classic period details create a warm and welcoming country feel.
The master bedroom is particularly generous, with gorgeous corner windows drawing in an abundance of natural light. The central bathroom has been tastefully updated, while the oversized laundry includes a second toilet and offers excellent scope to create a second bathroom if desired.
A split system in the lounge and another in one of the bedrooms provide year-round comfort. The fireplace in the living room and traditional slow-combustion stove in the kitchen add further warmth and atmosphere, while an 18-panel solar power system helps keep ongoing electricity costs down.
Outside, the lovingly established garden is now relatively easy to maintain. A separately fenced area is ideal for dogs or young children, while an electronic gate and large carport provide secure off-street parking.
Comfortable to enjoy immediately, this would make a wonderful first home with room to grow, or an ideal downsizer for those wanting less outdoor maintenance without sacrificing the space, warmth and character of the home itself. There is also clear potential to further improve and add value over time.
For investors, the opportunity is equally compelling. The home has an estimated permanent rental return of approximately $550 per week, while its position within easy walking distance of Mansfield’s cafés, restaurants and shops makes it a sensational prospect for short-term accommodation. Whether as a permanent home, investment or Mansfield weekender, it is a property with genuine versatility in an exceptionally convenient location.
