Mid-century architecture meets modern flair

Embrace comfortable living in this smartly renovated 1950s solid-brick home decorated in a tasteful palette of colours. A shout out to mid-century architecture, the floor plan is excellent with an open-plan living and dining room serving as the nucleus for family life and entertaining, catered to by a kitchen equipped with a stainless-steel oven, six-burner gas cooktop and dishwasher, stone benchtops, and a sizable central island that’s sure to become a magnet for conversation and shared moments.

Practically positioned at the front, the trio of bedrooms with charming cornices includes a main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom that doesn’t skimp on luxury, offering both a deep bathtub and a separate shower. Complementing this are two more generously-sized bedrooms and a second, stylishly-appointed bathroom, also featuring a bathtub and shower – a rare find.

Outdoor living is facilitated with an expansive garden, featuring integrated seating circling a brick firepit for laughter-filled evenings under the stars. The rear exterior has colour bond cladding giving it a fresh, contemporary look, suggesting the potential for a similar update to the front façade to mirror this transformation. In addition, the backyard’s generous dimensions also offer the added prospect of developing a granny flat, benefitting from recent legislation allowing for such an addition without a planning permit on lots of more than 300 square meters. It also offers the perfect backdrop for a vibrant family life, complete with space for children’s play, pet adventures, a charming chicken coop, and your very own orchard and vegetable garden for the freshest of fares.

Further highlights encompass a laundry, ducted heating and cooling, extensive storage beneath the house, ample off-street parking, picture windows capturing local scenery and stunning sunrises and sunsets, deep wood lined ceiling, covered verandah.

Located conveniently between the Convent Gallery and Wombat State Forest, the home is just a stroll away from the Lawn Tennis Club, Daylesford’s bustling main shopping streets, Daylesford Lake, local schools, and The Amazing Mill Markets.

This inviting residence presents a golden opportunity for investors seeking a high-yield addition to their portfolio, suitable for both long-term leases and holiday rentals, while also offering a fabulous retreat for owner-occupiers, whether as a full-time residence or a part-time escape. Additionally, it stands as a tempting treechange destination with ample space to host family and friends.
