This graceful Victorian home by the Campaspe River offers a lifestyle unsurpassed for anyone dreaming of a property with heritage, heart and natural beauty. The house has been lavished with love by its vendors, undergoing a bespoke and considered renovation, which has included sourcing recycled heritage doors and windows, fittings and fixtures. New additions include the Colorbond roof, bullnose veranda, fascia, gutters and downpipes. Also, new wiring and switchboard, plumbing and tapware. All that’s left to do is move in and enjoy. The floorplan has been tweaked for modern living, while retaining the classic Victorian central hallway. There are three bedrooms; one has an open fireplace, while the main has built-in-robes either side of a window seat. A walk-through-robe leads to the ensuite, with its wide frameless shower and a vintage dresser upcycled as a vanity. The second bathroom has a deep black clawfoot bath. The living areas are simply beautiful, with polished timber floors underfoot and decorative ceilings overhead; the pressed metal ceiling in the dining room is a true standout. A wood heater warms the whole home come winter, plus there are split system heating and air conditioning units in the living area and main bedroom. The kitchen is fit for country living, with its pantry cupboard, French farmhouse sink, wide pot drawers and island bench. Stainless steel cooking appliances and a dishwasher also feature, and the vendors are leaving the convection microwave. (A 142cm smart TV and Euromaid 10kg low-energy washing machine will also stay.) Outside, a wide elevated timber deck wraps around the home. A rear undercover entertainment space has views of the backyard, with its sprawling ash tree shading spring bulbs and hellebores. Other plantings include ornamental pears, hydrangeas, star jasmine and 80 gorgeous roses. A rear section for fruit trees and vegetable beds leaves plenty of scope for a productive patch. An electronic watering system and small green house/potting shed help with the maintenance. A three-bay garage has power, lights and concrete floor, plus a 6.5kw/20 panel solar system on the roof, meaning you’ll have the luxury of no power bills! It also runs the hot water system. Elmore is approximately 40 minutes from Bendigo, with all the community conveniences you would wish for, and the added bonus of river frontage. And, as confirmed by recent events, the township never floods.
