"DARGO"
Victorian weatherboard on substantial granite foundations. Overlooking the Beechworth Gorge, the house sits on a acre which was subdivided under the parish plan of the 1860's and first owned by gold miner Robert Beatson. On the west side of town, Beechworth's edge is sharply defined by the Gorge State Park. "Dargo" is thus right on the doorstep of Gorge walks, yet only a short walk to the town centre. The house sits in full landscaped gardens, terraced and stepped with generous use of Beechworth granite. Verandahs extend around three and a half sides of the house. French doors opening from all living areas and one of the bedrooms create an indoor/outdoor flow and wonderful cross ventilation in the summer months. The wide verandahs and the terrace below provide many delightful spots for outdoor living. Dargo has recently been meticulously renovated, retaining its Victorian integrity and taking full advantage of the views towards the granite outcrops of the Gorge. The house combines the period charms of a cosy sitting room, separated dining room and 2 bedrooms, with a stylishly modern kitchen and bathroom.
