Maldon VIC 3463

If you imagine your ideal place to call home includes a stunning turn-key residence in a tranquil rural setting with parklike grounds, lake-style dam and gorgeous views all within an historic country town, then this sensational property is everything you've envisaged - and more.

On a sweeping 6,012 sqm (1.5 acre) block, the mid-century weatherboard Californian bungalow has been reimagined to deliver the very best of urban chic while retaining a warm and welcoming country-life vibe. You'll immediately notice the abundance of light throughout, enhanced by a stylish neutral palette. Step from the traditional porch entry into the original layout comprising three bedrooms, a queen-size premier suite with dual aspect and two queen bedrooms both with built-in robes, one currently being utilised as a home office/study. Beyond is a designer bathroom, contemporary in every way yet in keeping with the home's period origins.

Walk through to the intersection of the original home and it's stunning extension where you'll find the kitchen, every inch a cook's dream. The sleekness of stone and the warmth of timber combine for the benchtops over bespoke cabinetry with plenty of storage space, gas cooker, in-built microwave plus dishwasher. Sit at the roomy breakfast bar, the perfect spot for a coffee, light meal and a catch-up with friends and family. And beyond, an extension that defines masterful design and execution. The dimensions of this living and dining space are impressive with a fully insulated cathedral ceiling and walls, of double-glazed feature windows to further enhance the sense of space and light and draw the outside in. A stunning tiled chimney with built-in tv, while striking in size and scale fits perfectly with the room. Kick back and unwind or entertain small or large gatherings in relaxed style and when outdoor dining calls, draw back the twin banks of double glazed bi-folds to entertain in the fully enclosed/screened outdoor room that, courtesy of the block's gentle slope, occupies a commanding position with views over the property and across the treetops to Mount Alexander. A flight of stairs leads from the deck to the rear gardens, a delightful mix of low maintenance garden beds, olive trees and vegetable plots watered by a 10,000lt tank. Beyond are fully fenced park-like grounds dotted with mature trees and featuring a picturesque dam. A number of beautiful sculptures adorning the dam and dam paddock are very much at home here and are included in the sale. Additional highlights include premium carpets and flooring, split-system heating/cooling, wood-fire heating, mains power plus 6kw solar system feeding back to the grid, enviro-cycle waste management system, 52,000lt water tanks, laundry, abundance of internal and under-house storage, electric blinds to bi-fold doors, and carport. Further infrastructure includes a 7mx7m gal shed with concrete floor plus workshop, ideal for the handyman or hobbyist.
