Captivating within leafy surrounds, this historic early 1900's home reveals an irresistible blend of period charm and contemporary style in one of Beechworth's beautiful, elevated streets. As you would expect from a home with this character, you are greeted by a wide hall entranceway with polished hardwood floors. From here you can enter the very large living room with wood fire. A large window has been installed to allow natural light in whilst framing the outdoor flora. The country-style kitchen is a classic blend of function and charm. It features beautiful timber bench tops and cabinetry plus a cleverly integrated refrigerator hutch and dishwasher. Whilst you will enjoy contemporary electric appliances, the centrepiece of the kitchen and dining area is the classic Stanley combustion stove - perfect for baking on a cool winter's day. The home has three light-filled bedrooms. The master, resplendent with an open fireplace and mantle, is accompanied by an enclosed all-weather sunroom, with clear internal blinds plus additional external blinds, that permit views of the spectacular garden and toward Beechworth township. A beautifully incorporated modern ensuite has a large walk-in shower with a vanity and toilet. Bedrooms two and three share a central bathroom with a delightful cast iron claw foot bath, shower, classic pedestal vanity, and a convenient separate toilet. Outdoor entertaining is a pleasure on the covered rear verandah overlooking the garden. This can be accessed directly from the kitchen and offers a welcoming place to enjoy the company of family and friends. The depth and variety of colour in the front and rear garden have to be seen to be believed. Maples, dogwoods, crepe myrtle, clematis, lilac, wisteria and hellebores provide year-round colour, whilst fruit trees plus dedicated vegetable and herb beds, provide inspiration for your culinary delights. The convenience of several sheds including a custom-built garden shed keeps your tools out of the weather. Additional features include electric PV solar, solar hot water with gas boost, a carport and a secure workshop area. This alluring home will warm your heart the moment you step through the gates of the Emu wire fence.
