Last Listing description (March 2024)

Nestled on 1020m2 block sits this charming historic Blackwood cottage circa 1889. With the town's main strip literally around the corner, you are mere steps away from your first coffee of the day.

This one-bedroom gold rush gem is the perfect weekender, investment or tree change opportunity.

A rustic makeover has seen the cottage thoughtfully updated with modern appliances without losing any of its historic charm. Enter via the front deck which is perfect for capturing the sun, and you immediately find yourself in the open plan kitchen, living and dining area.

The kitchen features Victorian Ash timber benches, pine lined original ceiling, historic fireplace with wood burning fire, dishwasher, large pantry, and electric cooking including a ceramic stovetop. The adjacent dining and living area are filled with light from generous large windows, split system unit, carpet, and French doors to a second elevated, covered alfresco deck.

The newly updated bathroom features contemporary tiling, an enormous bathtub to soak away all the stress of the day, timber wall hung vanity and toilet. While the bedroom features an original fireplace with wood burning fire, built in robe, pine lined ceiling, beautiful timber flooring and ceiling fan.

The property includes a generous studio space perfect for additional accommodation, creative pursuits, or work from home office. The options here are only limited by your imagination.

It comes complete with a most impressive garage / work shed which has both tilt door and pedestrian door access, concrete floor, and power.
The terraced gardens provide lovely garden rooms to spend time with family and friends including a giant oak tree whose glorious canopy provides perfect shade on warm days, a fire pit area for sharing stories, and a further outdoor deck which will see plenty of BBQ action.

The gardens have been landscaped and planted with natives to ensure year-round flowering to support the local wildlife, a haven for bees and fairy wrens! Along the rear fence line, you will find the Lerderderg Track that will lead you a 15-minute walk to the historic Blackwood Mineral Springs along the Lerderderg River.
