The kitchen backs onto all of that with a U-shaped bench and stools for quick meals, a wall oven and gas cooktop, then opens into a meals area warmed by the wood fire for the cooler nights. Slide the door open and there's room out there for a breakfast table too, for mornings when eating outside beats the kitchen bench.

All three bedrooms come with built-in robes, the master with a more generous walk-in configuration. They share a recently renovated Jack and Jill bathroom, plus a second toilet.

If you're the type who sees a good bones home and starts sketching, there's plenty to work with. The block leaves room to extend and the double garage and second shed are sitting there ready for whatever project you're keen to start. Buy this one to settle in exactly as it is or buy it to make it properly yours. Either way, you're not starting from nothing.

A nice touch while we're at it: the garden's been professionally landscaped by Boodle Concepts and had a full replant, fresh trees, new mulch and all, so instead of years of establishing it, you inherit it looking good. There's a paved, screened entertaining area for your first dinner outside and a fully fenced yard, which the dog will appreciate even if nobody asks its opinion.

And then there's where it sits. Schools, the hospital and the bus stop are all an easy walk from the front door, and everything else Kyneton has to offer is close enough that the car becomes a choice rather than a necessity. Nothing left to do but request an inspection today.
