Set on a rare 2,021m² (approx.) corner allotment in the centre of Newstead, this classic weatherboard home has been fully renovated to bring together the character of the original build with the comfort and ease of modern living. Overlooking the local park, with stunning views to enjoy from the home and garden alike, the setting is as much a drawcard as the house itself.
From the timber-framed facade and double front entry doors, the home's period charm is immediately apparent, carried through into a hallway lined with original stained glass and lead light windows, a gallery of character original to the home.
The renovation reaches every part of the house. A new roof, a new electric hot water system and new air conditioning to the main bedroom and living area mean the essentials are all done, leaving nothing for a new owner to tackle but moving in. The lounge room retains the warmth of the original home centred on an open fireplace.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged across light-filled, easy-flowing living, connected by a central hallway running the length of the home. The main bathroom has been renovated as a genuine feature in its own right, a freestanding clawfoot bath, double vanity and brushed brass tapware bringing a touch of considered luxury to everyday life. Bedroom three enjoys the convenience of its own ensuite, while bedrooms one, two and four each offer comfortable, versatile space, equally suited to family, guests or a home office.
At the heart of the home, a light-filled extension houses the kitchen, and connected dining and family living areas, finished with quality cabinetry and a brand new freestanding Smeg oven for the home cook. A servery window and French doors open directly onto a private, corrugated-iron-clad deck, screened for privacy and shaded by surrounding trees, an easy spot for long lunches or an evening drink as the light fades. The laundry, part of the new extension, offers new fixtures and generous storage.
Outside, the half-acre corner block offers what's increasingly hard to find so close to town: genuine room to move, with stunning park views on the doorstep. Established gardens and mature trees surround the home, complemented by a large separate shed with a lined office space, ideal for those working from home, and a chicken coop for anyone wanting to embrace a little more self-sufficiency. There's space besides to further develop, garden, or simply enjoy as is, with potential for subdivision (subject to council planning approval).
Newstead itself still feels unhurried and community-minded, with the local cafe, general store and the Loddon River all just moments away on foot, and Castlemaine, Maldon and the wider Central Victorian region a short drive beyond. A rare combination of character, complete renovation, land and outlook, this is a home ready to be enjoyed in every season.
