Charming in every way, this property will capture your heart. Privately set on a beautiful 2,556 sqm (.6 ac) block, the Cedar cottage embraced by gorgeous gardens is exactly what you think of when you look to cottage life in a warm and welcoming country community. With a Newstead Road address, dual frontage sees the property accessed from the rear via John Street. A full-length front verandah opens to a interior that has a neutral palette and floating floorboards through the family areas. Well proportioned throughout, full height colonial-style feature windows and glass sliders take advantage of the family area's triple aspect and north-facing outlook to flood the home with natural light all day long. Open plan living and dining areas flow through to a timber kitchen with excellent bench and storage space and electric cooking. Slide back glass doors in the dining area to access the expansive rear verandah; the perfect venue to enjoy outdoor entertainment and alfresco dining overlooking the gardens. Three queen size bedrooms each with built-in robes share a centrally located, well-proportioned family bathroom. Livable as is, there's still scope for further enhancement and individual touches.

The home is surrounded by beautiful cottage gardens with a distinctly botanical gardens feel. Sit and enjoy the tranquillity or enjoy wandering along winding rock-edged pathways between mature native and ornamental trees, flowering shrubs, roses and a variety of fruit trees. Set away from the home is a single carport and an exceptional 6mx11m Galvanised shed with concrete floor that delivers garaging for two cars and an additional workshop space within the shed that boasts power and pedestrian access. Perfect for tradies, the handyman or hobbyist. Two rainwater tanks off the shed delivers supplementary water for the gardens. A garden shed provides ample space for garden tools and additional items. Further highlights include split-system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, well-proportioned laundry with external access and all town services.

While the property has a 'miles from anywhere' feel, you're within walking distance to Maldon's shops and cafes, primary school, sporting facilities and the town's walking trails and notable sites. Castlemaine is an easy 15 minute drive and Bendigo 25 minutes away. Melbourne is 90 minutes down the Calder or via fast train from Castlemaine making this an excellent permanent home or weekend getaway. Privacy is assured yet everything is within easy reach. A relaxed country lifestyle for you to savour.
