6 High Street, LancefieldVIC

Coveting a privileged setting with the historic Weirgard Building, an Architects-renovation of this magnificent c1889 Victorian terrace has tastefully merged its exquisite original character with remarkable contemporary style.

With a grand sense of proportion and a bold al fresco spirit, the home also invites lucrative investment opportunities, with a well-received renovated shopfront comprising a kitchenette, powder room and reception area. With dual frontages and ROW access, you can utilise both the residence and shop front separately, enhancing the appeal for long-term investors.

The interior boasts newly laid, 120-year-old reclaimed floorboards (opportunity to add floor insulation) and gorgeous exposed brick walls throughout the ground floor, complementing the home's treasured past. The thoughtfully preserved floor plan is highlighted by towering ceilings and an original handmade terracotta brick wall in the hallway, connecting the dining and living spaces to the open-plan living/kitchen domain.

Underfloor heating, Marine Ply cabinetry and commercial grade Paperock benchtops and first-class appliances, including a dual fuel stove and dishwasher, add to the culinary ease of the kitchen, offering a genuine connection to the landscaped courtyard which beautifully embraces the natural light of its sun-drenched northern orientation.

Accommodating for a range of lifestyles, the first-floor bedrooms include the main retreat with an original open fireplace that is functional and views overlooking High Street, whilst a third bedroom/formal lounge adds versatility to the layout if needed. A central designer bathroom boasts underfloor heating, a smart mirror and a freestanding bathtub, showcasing a natural eye for design with LED backlighting.

No detail here has been overlooked, with a European laundry, external shedding, a Nectre cast iron wood heater, reverse cycle heating/AC, double glazed windows and doors, solar panels, entirely new wiring, new twin heat pumps – 70% lower energy consumption, new solar inverter, hydronic pipes ready to fit-off system, plumbing and roof, and concept drawings for another bedroom within the roof space. Walk to everything from this pivotal position, including the Farmers Market, Lancefield Hotel, High Street shops and The Lost Watering Hole Brewery, with a few minutes' drive to excellent primary and secondary schools and just a walk to local primary schools.
