This house will surprise. With an unusual triple-gable iron roof and a central veranda, this beautifully positioned 4 bedroom family home is a lot larger than it first appears. It was built in 1870 and was extended in 1908 to be used by the local Kyneton Doctor as a home/ consulting surgery. There was a further extension with family room and bathroom in the late '70's. It has, however, retained it's Gold Rush charm, while becoming a spacious family home. The wide entrance hall has the original cedar dado board panelling and runs the length of the house. The front sitting room (ideal home office) is a beautifully proportioned room with lots of natural light and warmed by a solid fuel wood-burning coonara. There are 3 large bedrooms on the right side of the hall. The first two have walk-in wardrobes and the 3rd has a wall-length robe. The kitchen and bathroom are centrally located. The "country kitchen" features the original open-fireplace of hand-made bricks and the solid core cabinetry are craftsman-built. The 6 hob gas cooker and a large window looking onto the kitchen-garden courtyard. There is a full family bathroom, with spa, vanity, shower and WC (another WC is easily accessible from the garden). The European-style laundry is adjacent. From the kitchen, through the vestibule to a very spacious dining and family entertaining with Coonara and double glass doors to the outdoor undercover alfresco area. The master bedroom (4th bedroom or office) is adjacent to the family room and has a wall of mirrored robes, which further enhance the abundance of natural light. This home has been meticulously maintained. Under the cladding , the original weatherboards are still in situ. The 728 sq metre (approx) block also has a garden shed, a rotary clothes line and a cubby house. Realistically priced and beautifully positioned, just a stones throw from Piper Street shopping precinct and market and the main street of Kyneton. 55 minute rail commute to Melbourne. Exceptional medical and dental facilities, great schools, churches, shops and restaurants
- all within an easy walk of this lovely home.
