78 Carrington Street, Macedon, Vic 3440

This much-loved and widely admired home sits on the cusp of the Macedon Ranges most iconic avenue. It is ensconced within a private garden where 130-year-old majestic oak trees reign supreme. Constructed in 2000 and built to exacting standards, the property makes for easy living; a floorplan that provides nooks to enjoy in solitude and larger spaces for family and friends to gather. The outlook from each room transports you to the natural beauty of the garden and beyond.

Central to the thoughtfully designed home is the open plan kitchen, dining and living zone, generously proportioned, light and bright, with an open fireplace providing a delineation between spaces. The adjacent family room with a billiard table offers a secondary area for large gatherings. The main bedroom on the ground floor features a large walk-in robe and ensuite. French doors from the living, family and main bedroom allow for an easy transition to idyllic spots within the garden to while away an hour or two. Additional bedrooms are upstairs and space for a teenage or guest retreat, study or a fourth bedroom. The home is supremely comfortable, heated by gas-fired hydronic panels and split systems upstairs to ensure year-round comfort.

The property is home to an array of magnificent European trees, planted during the prosperous 1880s when interest in the area was heightened, and the land was settled. These impressive specimens rightly take centre stage and are complemented by sweeping lawns and low-maintenance garden beds. Infrastructure and plantings include but are not exclusive to; two sheds for garden equipment, a chicken run, raised veggie boxes, fruit trees, roses, and an array of spring bulbs.

Macedon is renowned for its natural beauty and is currently protected from large-scale development to maintain its regional ambience. A leisurely walk away is Macedon township which boasts a convenient array of cafes and shops in addition to the local primary school and sporting grounds. Ideally situated within the Macedon Ranges, the popular townships of Woodend, Kyneton and Trentham are only a short drive away. At the same time, the many amenities available in Gisborne are closer still. Melbourne is under an hour away by the freeway or the Macedon V/Line station.
