64 High Street, Maldon, Vic 3463

Standing high on the site of the original Tarrangower Hotel, ‘Kayleigh’ is one of Maldon’s most unique, well-known and fondly regarded homes. Built with pride by the Laity family toward the end of the 50s, the house reflects its mid-century era in blond brick, clean lines, exposed timber, and a quality of construction. Here you will find none of the small rooms, narrow hallways and scanty windows typical of miners’ cottages: this home has space to spare, with the big rooms and huge windows that characterise this most stylish and admired of architectural eras.

The Laitys built this house to last, and to make life comfortable. Set on an expansive corner block, ‘Kayleigh’ overlooks Maldon’s charming High Street, and is the shortest downhill stroll to town. A wide driveway leads to a double garage and an undercover area capable of shielding several vehicles - ‘Kayleigh’ was once the home of the Maldon taxi company, and could still happily accommodate a fine collection of tradie’s toys.

The home has undergone an extensive but sympathetic refurbishment. New improvements include fresh painting throughout, new carpets, restoration of the Tassie Oak floorboards, skylights, custom doors, merbue fencing, chicken coop, and the reinstatement of the original driveway gates.

This handsome family home is a unique property in Maldon, as historically important as any of the town’s quaint cottages yet well suited to modern living and entertaining family and friends.
