There's something quietly captivating about a home that knows exactly what it is. Elevated on the high side of the street in ever-charming Elphinstone, this one leans wholeheartedly into its 70s soul - then layers in the kind of thoughtful updates that make everyday living feel effortless.
Relocated to the site in 1985, the home now sits comfortably in its surroundings, soaking up sweeping countryside vistas that shift beautifully with the seasons. Out front, a native garden has been lovingly established, creating a soft, welcoming arrival - alive with birdsong and texture.
The wide, sheltered verandah is where it all begins. Morning coffee, evening unwinds, a place to pause and take it all in. Step inside and you'll find those retro bones still proudly on show, now complemented by a series of smart, stylish updates to the kitchen, bathroom and laundry. It's a home that doesn't try too hard - it just works, with personality to spare.
Three bedrooms are paired with two separate living zones, offering a flexible floorplan that adapts as life does. Comfort is covered year-round with an all-electric setup, ceiling fans, split system heating and cooling, and the unmistakable charm of a wood heater for those cooler country nights.
Outside, the backyard is secure, spacious, and ready for whatever comes next. A substantial shed sits on a concrete slab with power - ideal for tinkering, storage or creative pursuits - while the orchard quietly delivers season after season. Dwarf fruit trees include apple, apricot, peach, nectarine, mulberry, locust and a selection of citrus, bringing a little abundance to everyday life.
With town water and bin collection in place, this is country living without compromise -retro at heart, beautifully evolved and ready to be enjoyed.
