Trentham VIC 3458

The living room is a warm, grounded space centered around a Nectre wood combustion fireplace framed in bluestone. Ceiling fan, linen curtains, original pelmets, and red cedar window frames complete a setting that feels both nostalgic and deeply comfortable, with winter ambience drawn from a single, beautifully resolved hearth.

Beautifully curated the restored original 1970s kitchen strikes a confident balance between heritage character and contemporary function. Kit-kat tiled splash back, marble benchtops, soft-closing cabinetry, and generous storage are complemented by Fisher & Paykel appliances including a gas cooktop, electric oven, and dishwasher. A double utility sink delivers everyday practicality, while the adjoining dining space keeps the home connected and sociable.

A flowing floorplan ensures each space feels connected and comfortably private. The master bedroom features original wardrobe doors, Stegbar internals, built-in robe, and ceiling fan. Bedroom two offers built-in storage and linen curtains, while bedroom three provides custom cabinetry, integrated desk, and storage well suited to guests, study, or flexible living needs.

The central bathroom is finished with tiled floors, walnut cabinetry, deep bath, walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and mirrored shaving cabinet. A combined laundry/bathroom continues the same approach considered with extensive storage, marble-topped linen press, underfloor heating, and direct external access. Barn style sliding doors lend an architectural edge to the hallway maximizing space while complementing the homes understated mid-century aesthetics.

Outdoors, a covered rear deck with oiled hardwood flooring and laser light roofing extends living space into the landscape, connecting seamlessly to the carport and garage. Crazy paving paths wrap the home, creating a gentle flow between private seating zones, entertaining areas, and established gardens.

The garden setting is a standout-mature, layered, and seasonally expressive. Plantings including twisted willow, flowering cherry, silver birch, pittosporum, lavender, rosemary, Hardenbergia, hellebores, rhododendrons, maples, and camellias provide structure, colour, and texture year-round. A productive kitchen garden with raised beds and strawberry patch adds lifestyle richness, while corten-edged front garden beds with irrigation ensure ease of maintenance without compromise on design.

Practical elements are equally well resolved, including a single car carport, garage with workshop space and roller door, under-house storage, woodshed/garden shed with concrete flooring, instant electric Rheem hot water system, and bottled gas services.

Turn-key in every sense, this is a home where nothing has been left unfinished. Rich in character yet thoroughly modernized, it offers a rare opportunity to secure a considered low-maintenance Trentham residence within an easy stroll of the village center.
