64 Main Street

Maldon VIC 3463

With its distinctive 'Accommodation' sign above the awning, Farr's Building is an instantly recognizable slice of Maldon's well-preserved historic streetscape. Double fronted and featuring a traditional block-fronted timber facade, the property was constructed in 1860 and enjoyed a varied list of uses including the home and store of Albert Honneus, a gold dealer and jeweller; a medical and dental surgery and accommodation venue before undergoing a comprehensive renovation where original history merges with contemporary style to deliver relaxed, executive living.

The street-front entry opens to reveal a wide central hallway boasting high timber-lined ceilings, dado paneling and gorgeous honey-coloured hardwood floorboards flowing through to the family living and dining spaces. Light-filled queen bedrooms fan each side of the hallway; their custom-built cabinetry providing ample wardrobe space. Along the hallway is the carpeted queen premier suite also with bespoke built-in robes. Step through to the family spaces where a thoughtfully designed kitchen delivers ample bench space and cabinetry plus island bench, stainless steel gas/electric cooking, and dishwasher. The original chimney-set cooker space has been converted to shelving while a roomy breakfast bar also with shelving is a great spot for casual meals. With its easterly aspect, the roomy dining space is filled with natural light from its triple aspect and wall of windows. Select a bottle from your very own wine cellar and throw open the French doors to the lovely stone courtyard with its feature stone wall and dine alfresco in surroundings that evoke images of Tuscany or the south of France. The living room is the perfect space to curl up in front of the chimney-set wood-fire heating flanked by custom-built bookcases and cabinetry with integrated entertainment unit. Additional highlights include combined bathroom/laundry, skylights, gas heating plus split system air-conditioning for year-round comfort, garden shed, rainwater tank, side walkway to the main street and quality fencing.

The perfect permanent low maintenance home, weekend retreat or AirBnB, Farr's Building is arguably one of Maldon's most desirable properties, its impressive credentials further enhanced by a premium location in the heart of Maldon's cafe gallery and retail precinct. Simply irresistible.
