Cheviot - Circa 1924
A substantial residence on offer where timeless Federation-era elegance blends seamlessly with the beauty of nature and modern convenience. Set on a sprawling 3,290sqm double block, with a pending permit for a two-lot subdivision, this remarkable residence offers not only a beautifully preserved home but also an enchanting garden landscape that will captivate your heart.
The property offers extensive grounds including a separate studio/home office space with timber French doors and leadlight windows along with a two-storey cubby house and combined chicken coop, a woodshed, and a three-bay garage that blends seamlessly with the home's aesthetic.
The outdoors are as magical as the home itself, with meandering paths leading you through a lush, mature garden. Japanese maples, towering liquidambars, birches, sycamores, smoke bush and dogwoods create a stunning display of colour and texture throughout the seasons. The garden is a haven for green thumbs, a space where you can lose yourself pottering in the raised vegetable beds, or relaxing on the large outdoor deck, soaking up the tranquil surrounds. Fruit trees, including cherry, plum, apple, Manchurian pear, quince, and chestnut, dot the landscape, offering a delicious harvest to enjoy straight from your own backyard.
Inside, the Federation-era charm continues with leadlight windows, double-gabling, and intricate timber details that pay homage to the home's heritage. At its heart is the light-filled conservatory-style kitchen, framed by double-glazed windows that offer uninterrupted views of the sunrise and moonrise over Mount Macedon. This space, equipped with a Belling oven, is not just a kitchen; it's a place to gather, cook, and create memories while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
The layout is thoughtfully designed to cater to both entertaining and daily family life. Elegant formal sitting and dining rooms, each with a cosy fireplace, provide the perfect spaces for intimate gatherings, while the elevated deck offers a seamless transition to outdoor living, inviting you to enjoy the lush garden views with family and friends.
The ground floor also features a spacious master bedroom complete with a bay window, two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms share a stylish bathroom, while a large common room opens to a balcony overlooking the garden and offering views of Mount Macedon.
Modern amenities abound, including a keyless entry system, zoned ducted heating and cooling, a split system, and 20 solar panels to boost energy efficiency. Four water tanks ensure the garden stays lush and productive throughout the year, supporting the property's sustainable lifestyle. These updates mean that while the home retains its historic character, it provides all the conveniences of contemporary living.
Beyond its immediate appeal, "Cheviot" presents an exciting opportunity for future development, with potential for subdivision that makes it a prime investment for developers or those seeking to expand.
Situated within easy walking distance of Woodend's railway station, cafés, shops, and primary schools, "Cheviot" offers the perfect blend of country tranquillity and town convenience. This is not just a home; it's a lifestyle where the garden is a personal sanctuary, and the stunning backdrop of rare Black Gum trees provides a unique touch of natural beauty.
Don't miss your chance to make "Cheviot" your own - a place where history, nature, and opportunity meet in perfect harmony.
