Welcome to 26 Hilliers Street, a warm and inviting cedarwood home nestled on just over half an acre in the heart of Newstead. This charming family residence captures the essence of relaxed country living, from the clothesline out the back, to the veranda out the front, there’s enough character to make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. All that’s missing is an old rocking chair!
Perfectly positioned on a quiet street, next door to the recreation reserve and just two streets from the centre of town, this is an ideal setting for families looking for both space and convenience. Newstead itself offers everything you need, from an IGA to sporting facilities, all within easy reach. Plus, you’re just 18 minutes from Castlemaine, 25 minutes to Maryborough, 45 minutes to Bendigo, and around an hour and 40 minutes to Melbourne.
Inside the home, you’re greeted by white walls and stunning exposed timber beams that create a bright and welcoming family lounge, complete with a split system for year-round comfort. Flowing through to the dining and kitchen area, you’ll find matching timber cabinetry with ample storage, continuing the home’s warm, natural aesthetic.
All three bedrooms are fitted with built-in robes and soft grey carpeting, offering comfort and functionality for growing families. The family bathroom features a convenient shower-over-bath layout with cabinetry that ties in with the kitchen, while the separate toilet is easily accessed from both the bathroom and laundry for added practicality.
The double lock-up garage is fully powered and includes access directly into the home as well as out to the backyard, making day-to-day living a breeze.
Step outside and you’ll find a truly family-friendly backyard. A veranda at both the front and rear of the home creates the perfect spot to relax and watch the kids play, or enjoy a quiet moment in the sun with a good book. There’s a built-in brick BBQ for summer entertaining, an elevated cubby house with space underneath for a few chickens, and even an above-ground pool to keep cool during the warmer months.
Tucked away behind leafy vines is a hidden gem — a caravan with an annex that serves as the perfect teenage retreat. This self-contained space includes its own lounge, dining area, kitchen, and bedroom, ideal for guests, older kids, or even as a creative escape.
The backyard is a productive haven, featuring established fruit trees including pomegranate, cherry, peach, and apple. The entire property is fully enclosed with high Colorbond fencing, offering excellent privacy and peace of mind.
Full of charm, functionality, and space, 26 Hilliers Street is a true family wonderland with all the essentials for a relaxed lifestyle in a vibrant country community. Whether you’re upsizing, relocating, or searching for a lifestyle change, this property is the complete package.
