Perfectly positioned in one of Daylesford’s sought-after streets, Istana On Duke is a charming circa-1934 weatherboard home where country-chic character meets modern comfort. Set on approximately 1,009 sqm with views towards Wombat Forest, this beautifully renovated residence is only one block from the main street and within a few minutes’ walk of everything that makes Daylesford so special.
A small front garden and lawn lead to the welcoming porch, where western sunsets set the tone for a home filled with warmth, personality and enduring cottage appeal. The front door opens to an entrance capturing the western light, followed by a panelled hallway that introduces the beautiful original details found throughout. Dado panelling, picture rails and wide floorboards have been thoughtfully retained, while extensive improvements—including restumping, rewiring, floor insulation, new sections of ceiling and a new roof—ensure the home is designed for relaxed modern living.
A flexible floorplan offers three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and two inviting living spaces, with the option to configure two bedrooms and a home office to suit your lifestyle. The two front bedrooms enjoy lovely views to the west, with one featuring picture rails and the main bedroom also offering a walk-in robe, reverse-cycle split system and its own picture rails. The third bedroom has a distinct cottage character, complete with wall panelling and a barn-style sliding door.
The classic country kitchen and meals area is positioned centrally between both living spaces, creating a natural connection through the home. Concrete benchtops, a freestanding 90cm gas cooktop and oven with brick surround, and a generous servery to the second living space combine everyday practicality with warm country style.
Open to the kitchen, the first living space features a panelled ceiling and wood combustion fire, creating a cosy place to retreat through the cooler months. The second living space is generously proportioned for family and friends, with ample room and lovely views across the rear garden. Together, the spaces offer an inviting flow and the flexibility to gather, relax or entertain with ease.
The renovated main bathroom features a large shower and beautiful claw-foot bath. A second bathroom incorporates a shower, vanity, toilet and European laundry, while the extremely cute powder room brings another playful touch of personality.
Outside, the picturesque garden offers plenty of space to find a quiet corner or sit in the dappled light beneath the glorious silver birch. The generous allotment may also present potential for subdivision, (subject to council approval).
Rich in character, thoughtfully renovated and brilliantly positioned, Istana On Duke offers an enchanting Daylesford lifestyle just moments from the heart of town.
