30 Barker Street, Harcourt, Vic 3453

This elevated brick veneer feels as solid as the day it was built. There are loads of features and endearing attributes that will make it very appealing to modern families. The half-acre setting is stunning, overlooking native tree tops to the front, including a grand old gum, and taking in views of Mount Alexander to the rear. There will be no shortage of wildlife visitors here!

The address is also strolling distance to Harcourt’s centre with a general store, primary school and many recreational activities to enjoy. Castlemaine is just a 10-minute drive beyond with more education options, the train station with V/Line services, shops and excellent eateries.

A wide, wrap around veranda provides a warm welcome and is the perfect spot to enjoy the views; a swinging chair would be very suited here.

Inside, feel that warm, nostalgic 1980s happy family vibe. Consider cork floors, timber architraves and feature bay windows in the lounge room. A wood heater radiates its warmth in the cooler months and, with its size, you may consider a heat transfer system to the bedrooms.

Investment has been made in fresh carpets, split system heating and cooling, quality curtains, sheers and blinds. The kitchen that adjoins the sunny dining room has been refurbished, now featuring a Miele wall over, dishwasher, generous pot drawers and a walk-in pantry.

Down the hallway, with built in storage, there are three bedrooms, two are robed and the master with a walk-in robe/dressing room and ensuite. The bedroom windows are fitted with flyscreens on one side, ready to welcome in the fresh spring air.

The bathrooms with their feature tiles are another throwback to the 80s. They are neat and tidy and will be serviceable for years to come. A laundry with external access completes the floorplan.

Outside, there are alfresco areas for everyone to enjoy. A built-in brick barbeque would be the perfect spot for a pizza oven. Now in full floor, the wisteria laced pergola is ready to host friends and family. The yard features established shrubs, garden paths, lawn areas for play and of course a hills hoist!

There is a large shed/workshop with three phase power and a concrete floor, very suited to tradespeople and home tinkers. Two carports, accommodating three cars in total and a long side driveway offer excellent off-street parking options.

Families, there is so much to love about this new listing. A wholesome country upbringing with cosmopolitan convenience awaits its lucky next inhabitants.
