Markwood VIC 3678

Set on nearly 2 acres in the Milawa Gourmet Region, this well maintained turn of the century home boasts magnificent 3.6 metre high pressed metal ceilings, numerous open fireplaces with the original brick chimneys, and a host of other charming period features. When you step onto the wide return verandah, open the stunning leadlight framed entry door and enter into the wide hall with the beautiful timber fretwork you might feel like you have travelled back in time to an era where life was just a little more civilised. There are 3 big bedrooms and a sleepout off the verandah (currently utilised as a sewing room), all serviced by a central 1950's era bathroom. The formal dining room connects to a small but functional kitchen and there's a huge living area/sunroom with lovely big windows framing the views of the lush gardens with magnificent trees. A covered alfresco area leads to a wisteria laden arbour and out to the requisite chicken coop. There's a gate to your own private woodlands, with room for a pony or some other four legged friends, and plenty of firewood. Children will be enchanted with the treehouse....time spent in the fresh country air is so much better than 'screen-time' in town. You might even get them growing their own fruit and vegetables and collecting eggs from the chickens. There's a garage, a host of other storage and ample space to build a huge new shed if that's your thing.
With barely a neighbour in sight (or earshot) you could host one hell of a housewarming party...there's plenty of room for a marquee and the lush gardens would be the perfect setting for sunset cocktails. And if you can bear to share, the home could be a great earner on airbnb! The King Valley wineries and a host of other gourmet venues are within easy reach, with Wangaratta a very pleasant 15 minute drive via Milawa and Oxley.
