Privately nestled behind a flourishing front garden, this beautifully updated three-bedroom period home offers a harmonious blend of timeless character and modern ease. Positioned in a quiet Newstead street, and a short walk from the local primary school, cafes, and village life, the home is designed to take full advantage of natural light and garden outlooks.
A wide entry hall leads to a formal living room with a corner view of the front garden. The rear of the home opens into a north-facing extension, where the kitchen, dining, and second living area create a warm and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen features a Blanco 900mm freestanding induction cooker, double drawer dishwasher, ample storage, a wraparound bench for casual meals, and a cleverly integrated Euro-style laundry for added convenience. Double doors open to a large rear deck with an electric awning, perfect for year-round entertaining with views across the established garden.
Three generous bedrooms include a main bedroom with built-in robes and a split system air conditioner. The central bathroom has been tastefully updated with a shower over the bath, vanity, and toilet.
Period details, including ornate plasterwork, stained glass, polished floorboards, and double-hung windows, add timeless appeal, while hurricane shutters and split systems provide privacy and comfort.
Outside, meandering paths wind through a thoughtfully landscaped garden featuring raised vegetable beds, ornamental and native plantings, shady trees, established hedging, and an outdoor bath with hot and cold water—ideal for soaking under the stars. The north-facing rear garden enjoys borrowed views of the landscape beyond and is alive with birdlife.
Located in the welcoming village of Newstead, with easy access to Castlemaine and Maldon, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy country living with a strong sense of community.
