Situated in the Sub-Alpine Village of Harrietville, at the end of the picturesque Ovens Valley, this character-filled home is a rare find that combining the charm from years gone by with modern comfort - sure to impress with its size, finishes, and unbeatable setting.Spread across a flat 1966m (just under half an acre) in the centre of the valley, the grounds soak up the best all-day sunshine on offer - a true garden lover's dream, with established trees, shrubs, plants and lawns all at that perfect stage where you simply maintain and enjoy.Beginning, life as a humble 4-room cottage, the home has been lovingly and sympathetically remodelled and extended into the impressive builder's own home on offer today. Timber character runs throughout, from exposed beams & ceilings, to warm timber joinery, giving the home a genuine sense of craftsmanship and soul that only comes from a build that has been completed with care.The home itself offers you 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, anchored by a large open-plan living space with a timber kitchen, meals and sitting area - the kind of space where the whole family naturally gathers, whether it's morning coffee at the bench or everyone pitching in over dinner prep. A separate lounge and dining space, complete with an open fire and high pitched ceiling, is bathed in natural light, offering a second, more relaxed zone to unwind, entertain, or simply spread out when the household needs a little extra room to breathe.Lastly for living space, there is also an everyday "snug" ideal for taking in the outlook across your grounds to the surrounding hills, this is a layout built for real family living - spaces to come together, and spaces to retreat to.For bedrooms, you will find a king-size master retreat features a modern ensuite with direct access to a private verandah where you enjoy more of the outlook to Mother Nature - it's hard to believe you're in the middle of town, let alone with a view this peaceful.Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both queen size rooms and upstairs there is a children's bedroom with built-in beds for two is just perfect for family or visiting grandkids, giving the little ones a space that feels entirely their own. Outside, further to this stunning grounds, which have to be seen and smelt to truly appreciate, there is a solar-heated, inground, self-cleaning pool awaits family fun as summer draws near. More than abundant off-street parking with a triple carport plus 10x6 lockable shedding - ideal for the home handyman, storing all the toys, or simply escaping to your own Man Cave. Solar panels feed back into the grid, and a solar hot water system keeps running costs low.Living here means trading traffic and constant noise for birds chirping and mountain air - the kind of quiet country lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find, without giving up an ounce of convenience.Harrietville is a tight-knit, family-friendly community with a primary school, multiple eateries, 2 Pubs and the local Bakery is just next door It is where the West and East branches of the beautiful Ovens River meet, it is a community to live in for the lovers of all things outdoors.Hotham is just 3035 minutes away, Bright is a short 20- minute car ride or even better, jump on your bike and ride the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail into town.Hidden away, yet with everything on your doorstep - this really is the best of all worlds combined.
