A CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE BECKONS - CHARMING SHOP FRONT AND RESIDENCE ON 3,000m2 This really is one out of the box, positioned in the heart of Eddington, it oozes, history, character and charm; there's plenty of shedding and space and you're only 100m to the streamside reserve on the Loddon River – what a lifestyle!! The shopfront was the original building in Eddington, used to supply goods to different transports travelling to and from the goldfields in the latter 1800's. There have been several additions over the years, all many years ago and all is in great condition throughout. The older building are all double brick with plenty of character, leadlight windows or sash windows, high ceilings and other marks of history. The large shopfront has plenty of room, it could be a large living area, office or something else, there's a large cellar and some really nice original features. There's a second store room (or living space) with cabinetry – some of it quite unique. The main area of the home boasts a beautiful large lounge with frieze, pic rails and vintage light fittings; there's an open fireplace, tapered ceiling (there's a story to this as well) and a skylight. To one side is the kitchen-meals space; there's a gas upright cooker, combustion stove and ornate firebox, rangehood and hanging storage for pans and pots etc. and a skylight. The master bedroom features an open fireplace and bluestone brick walls; bedroom two has access out front to the second veranda, bedroom three has an open fireplace and you walk through to a study area (or vestibule). These bedrooms were part of the cottage that was added to the side of the original building. There's a sunroom, one bathroom (1200mm shower and single vanity); separate toilet and laundry. There's evaporative cooling throughout, a mix of wood heating, and reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning – ample for the home. Sheds are comprised of a 6m x 6m power garage with concrete floor and panel door; a fairly new 6m x 9m powered shed with concrete floor, personal access and two roller-doors with high clearance; sundry shedding and two carports. On x 22,500 litre tanks and 2 smaller tanks out back. There's a domestic water supply from the river which is more than ample for the toilets, laundry and gardens. This is a beauty, it is affordable, you are 15mins drive to Maryborough and 40mins to Bendigo and five minutes to wonderful Laanecoorie Reservoir.
