10 Heron Street

Properties like this rarely come up for sale – an immaculate Art Deco 1940s home set within park-like grounds on two elevated acres across eight township residential titles, in the goldrush village of Fryerstown. Step through the front door into the central hallway, and period features are evident everywhere, including hardwood polished floorboards, high ornate ceilings and original windows; this is a very well-maintained family home set across two levels. The living room with woodburner has French doors to the kitchen, with another set of French doors leading to the separate dining room/home office with slate floor, timber vaulted ceiling and two external doors. There are three bedrooms, two with built-in robes, central bathroom, study/office space, laundry and separate loo on the main level. Downstairs, with its thick stone walls, is the fourth bedroom/living room with cellar, external door to a private verandah and large under-house storage space – a perfect retreat or teenager getaway. The spacious kitchen has a walk-in pantry, timber bench tops, space for a dining table and door to the side verandah and lawns beyond. Other features include: internal and external blinds and security shutters, two gas heaters, evaporative cooling, grid-connected solar power, external water tanks (including one for filtered drinking water) and rooftop sprinkler system. Outside, the hand-crafted stonework includes steps to the carport, bench seats and walls close to the house, that creates a connection with gardens beyond. Further away is the larger 7.5m x 12m shed with power connected, smaller garden shed and woodshed, veggie garden and numerous fruit trees, native bushes and deciduous trees, and lawns. The property benefits from vistas to the bush skyline, is incredibly private, well-fenced and has access from both Heron Street and the sealed Vaughan-Chewton Road. Connected to both town water and power, NBN satellite; this is a family home with space to move, a development opportunity to utilise the multiple titles, or both. Fryerstown is a small but vibrant community, and is a six-minute drive to Chewton and ten to Castlemaine for everything you need.
