44 Wedge St, Kyneton is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1945. The property has a land size of 763m2 and floor size of 206m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in June 2022.
It is very fortunate this post-war beauty fell into the hands of a couple who understood how to honour its bones while also gifting it with a striking renovation that has propelled it into the modern day. One of the great successes of this light and lovely four-bedroom home is in the subtly of the detailing; it takes a few walk throughs to fully absorb all of the features that deliver both aesthetic appeal and suburb functionality.
The extensive renovations retained and restored the existing front three rooms and wide entrance. Of these original quarters, admire the playful frosted fifties doors, detailed cornice, fireplace with wood heater in the large front living space, warm Tassie Oak floorboards, corner and sash windows and picture rails.
The new look interior, beginning in the kitchen/dining space, introduces a crisp grey colour palette and fresh new materials and detailing. Groove board wall panelling, painted woodgrain American Oak timber joinery and huge vintage French doors painted in squid ink tones are stunning features of this space.
The kitchen, with central island bench, boasts natural stone surfaces (also continued in the ensuite, laundry and powder room), beautiful fluted glass in some overhead cupboards, hardwood timber display shelving, 900mm gas stove and abundant storage in the soft close draws and surrounding cupboards. Speaking of storage, floor to ceiling joinery, cleverly incorporated in many areas of the home and integrated bins and laundry baskets hide clutter, staying true to the minimalist look.
A wide hallway takes you to the new addition, the continuation of like timber flooring enabling a seamless transition. A large light filled living space with gorgeous floor to ceiling navy velvet curtains faces the courtyard, accessible through French doors. Considerate of those who would like to utilise this as an office space (with the potential of having clients visit), an additional entrance with foyer from the driveway has been incorporated.
The new spaces flaunt stunning finishes; consider the Living Brass Tapware in the bathrooms that develops a natural patina over time, stunning Japanese glazed tiles in the ensuite and laundry and luxurious Himalayan wool carpets in the two rear bedrooms. Timber detailing throughout used on architraves, doorknobs and shelving are subtle nods to the home's origins and contribute warmth and class.
Of the four bedrooms three are queen size and the forth is currently a toy room. The beautifully crafted ensuite showcases a stepless shower, striking tiling and large vanity. A central three-piece bathroom, beautifully updated with skylight over the bath and separate toilet with powder room, services the rest of the home.
A lot of attention has also been given to the substance that can't be seen; high grade insulation (underfloor, in the walls and ceiling) and double glazing in many areas create excellent thermal comfort. Central heating to the existing house, two reverse cycle air conditioners and floor to ceiling block out curtains in bedrooms will have you comfortable in every season.
Outdoors, years of nurture and growth have created a tranquil and settled feel while high brick borders along the northern and southern boundaries, draped in edible and ornamental grapes and climbing rose, guarantee your privacy.
The recycled brick paved courtyard will be your entertaining centrepiece; established flowering Japanese crab-apples and white hydrangeas put on a vibrant show here in Spring. Terracing and hedging define spaces and a large lawn area is ideal for kids and pets. A long, secure driveway and large rear shed are also noteworthy.

A leisurely stroll will have you on the beautiful Campaspe River walk or at Kyneton's shopping precinct and it's just a two-minute drive to Kyneton's excellent primary and secondary education hub. One perceptive purchaser will live in this home that harmonises the very best of old and new in a prized location, could that be you?
