Located in the sleepy hamlet of Bealiba, a former gold mining town born out of the gold rush in the 1860s, is this classic Goldfields cottage. It started life as the Federal Boot Store in the 1900s but was reborn into a residential cottage a long time ago, then rebuilt/renovated approximately 28 years ago. Neat, well maintained and very comfortable, the cottage is situated in the main street of Bealiba on a very manageable allotment of approximately 780 square metres. The cottage comprises three bedrooms, kitchen/dining/living area and a separate lounge, a three-piece bathroom, large laundry and rear entry vestibule. The cottage is all electric and has ducted evaporative air cooling throughout. Outside, you will find a paved outdoor living area that's accessed directly from the kitchen, perfect for those lazy BBQ days. There is also a verandah area leading into the rear vestibule entrance and an adjacent single carport. An as-new and very secure 20' container/shed storage room completes the main infrastructure of the property. Situated on a low maintenance and easy-care allotment that's securely fenced on every boundary. The property is being sold partly furnished with vacant possession and short settlement available. This is a cottage for all reasons - owner occupier, bed & breakfast venture or investment. The cottage is NBN enabled and ready with fixed wireless NBN. Town water and septic. It's all here and it's all possible. Come and escape the city to sleepy Bealiba. Services in the town include general store/post office, collectables store, Country Women's Association, indoor bowls and bingo group, primary school, and V/Line bus service every day as well as school bus for secondary school. Enjoy the quiet life while you can and because you can.
