If charm has a defining image, it is this enchanting property with two gorgeous living options. On a level 4,479 sqm (1.1 acre) on the outskirts of town, this property is the epitome of stylish yet relaxed country living. Built in 1990’s to reflect Maldon’s miner’s cottage heritage, the main home boasts all the benefits of modern construction with features including timber dado, polished hardwood floorboards and decorative cornices enhanced by an elegant, all-white palette. Two queen bedrooms sit either side of the entrance hallway and beyond, an airy open-plan family area flows to an eat-in kitchen with shaker-style cabinetry, spotted gum benchtops, subway tile splash back and gas cooking. With an abundance of space and storage, you’ll want to entertain at every opportunity and when you do, the extensive, north-facing alfresco patio with gabled roof and timber flooring is the ideal spot. With its grey and white tones, designer tiles, large shower space and vanity, the bathroom is very chic. For those working from home, there’s a light-filled, home office plus reverse-cycle air-conditioning and instant gas hot water.

Ideal for teenagers, extended family, guests or as a revenue-generating B&B prospect the two-bedroom studio cottage is set away from the main home and is filled with an abundance of natural light courtesy of its northerly aspect. Of gal construction, the studio offers a spacious interior; feature windows merging the home with its garden surrounds. French doors open from the living/dining are to a private outdoor courtyard, while the kitchen delivers ample storage and bench space with gas cooking. There’s a cosy wood-fire heater and reverse-cycle air-conditioning, electric hot water service, laundry, bathroom and mezzanine storage area with dormer window.

With every detail attended to, the supporting infrastructure is equally impressive. An expansive 4.1m x 6m shed/workshop with concrete floor and power is ideal for tradies or as a mancave retreat. Additional shedding includes a garden shed, trailer/woodstore, shade house, 3 car carport and charming garden studio ideal for the artist or hobbyist. The property is fully fenced and bordered by Crown Land on two sides giving on-going privacy. The cottage and studio sit within parklike gardens where paved brick paths meander through sweeping lawns dotted with decorative garden beds and mature trees including natives, blossom, fig, mulberry and olive to name a few. Raised vegetable gardens deliver a bounty of fresh produce for your meals and there’s plenty of room for a chicken palace or even a pool. Mains power, mains water, and NBN fibre to the node are all connected.

The setting of absolute tranquillity is within walking distance of cafés, shops, primary school, sporting facilities and town services. Historic sites and trail walks the town is noted for, including the Beehive Mine, Mt Tarrangower and The Rock of Ages are all within easy reach from your front gate. Captivating in every way, discerning buyers will appreciate that this turn-key property has all the attributes that deliver the perfect country lifestyle.
