Instantly captivating within a private leafy setting, this magnificent c1905 Victorian residence's expansive dimensions, with its evocative blend of period elegance and contemporary style, delivers a country ambience with every modern convenience in the heart of Kyneton.
A quintessential period facade sits within the manicured cottage gardens, with a majestic arched entrance hall introducing four elegant bedrooms (main with ensuite), each with a moody dark palette reflecting the warmth of the luxury sisal carpets underfoot. Contrasting white highlights within the ornate ceilings create a window into the home's illustrious past, reflected within the Tasmanian Oak flooring, traditional open fireplaces and retained ceiling and window details.
The high ceilings continue through an impressively spacious open plan living and dining room at the rear with a roaring gas fireplace and gourmet Hamptons-inspired kitchen, boasting Caesarstone benchtops, an Ilve oven, Bosch dishwasher and a large butler's pantry. Designed for quiet entertaining, the bi-fold servery and French doors extend the living areas to a large covered entertaining deck overlooking the lush and private north-facing garden, perfect for relaxed enjoyment and intimate gatherings with family and friends.
An idyllic family environment for now and into the future, it includes a gorgeous family bathroom with a claw foot bath, ducted gas heating and split system air-conditioning, laundry, wine storage, and an irrigation system. Beautifully retaining the charms of yesteryear, the home also provides sensational modern convenience, just steps from shops, excellent schools, the Aquatic centre and Piper Street.
