5A Baldry Street, Mansfield, Vic 3722

This beautifully renovated period style home enjoys a remarkable location, moments from Mansfield’s fabulous High Street yet ever so quiet and private. The North facing rear verandah is the perfect spot to relax in the sun and admire the leafy views over Fords Creek to the Botanic Park. From the moment you walk through the rather attractive front door, and look through to the garden and park, you will feel the worries of the world lift from your shoulders. What a wonderful place to call home!

You will have to share the garden with the huge variety of birds that are regular visitors. This time of year there are also quite a few little ducklings paddling along the creek and the resident blue tongue lizards like to bask in the Spring sunshine.

The home itself boasts a desirable mix of modern comfort and convenience with lovely old world charm. The period features have been retained and enhanced. Renovated from the ground up, with re-blocking, polished floorboards and a stunning bathroom make-over featuring a Perrin & Rowe heritage style basin. The light filled kitchen is also a great example of thoughtful modernisation sympathetic to the era of the home. There are 2 bedrooms with built in robes, plus a sitting area that would make a lovely big 3rd or guest bedroom as there is another separate living room in addition to the light filled dining area that opens on the rear verandah and garden.

As well as landscaped areas with bird and bee attracting native plants, the garden features a generous rear lawn and a fully enclosed chook run inside the kitchen garden with raised veggie beds and a selection of productive fruit trees. It’s a little slice of country life in the centre of town. And of course, life in the country requires a shed. This one’s a bit posh. It’s a 10m x 4m garage and workshop complete with French doors and lovely big window so it would make a great art studio or home office. There’s also a double carport and plenty of additional off-street parking, although you will hardly need a car here. You can walk to everything: shops, coffee and brunch, dinner and drinks and of course the beautiful Botanic Park.
