Overview
72-76 Main Street
Privately nestled within almost an acre of gardens lies this exceptional family home, offering a rare opportunity in the heart of Romsey. Located just a five-minute walk from the Primary School, Kindergarten, and the historic township with its community hub, shops, restaurants, and cafes, this property combines the charm of country living with convenient access to Melbourne via the nearby Clarkfield train station and Melbourne Airport, only 30 minutes away.
The original section of the home dates back to 1860, yet the property is free from any heritage overlay or listings, providing flexibility to renovate, rebuild, or fully develop the land, which benefits from two street frontages. The residence welcomes you with a tessellated tiled verandah leading into a spacious interior featuring two lounge areas, five bedrooms, a study, and two bathrooms, ensuring ample space for family living.
The home exudes character with high ceilings, timber floors, decorative cornices, high skirtings, leadlight windows, and fireplaces including open fireplaces and a wood heater. Comfort is enhanced by reverse cycle heating and cooling, underfloor heating, and heated towel rails in the bathrooms. The kitchen is well-appointed with a 900mm De’Longhi oven, a five-burner gas cooktop, and a double sink, ideal for culinary pursuits.
Outdoor living is equally impressive with an alfresco area that seamlessly connects to sunlit living and dining rooms, overlooking the beautifully maintained garden, perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. Recent improvements include a new roof and a 10kW solar power system. Additional features include two sheds and a garage with rear access.
Though the property is on one title, the studio is separately rated from the main house, offering potential for a bed and breakfast or granny flat. This studio has historical significance as it was formerly the town’s doctor’s surgery.
The garden is a tranquil sanctuary, thoughtfully planted to provide privacy and serenity. It features a magnificent oak tree planted in 1894, complemented by Japanese maples, pear, persimmon, magnolias, camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas, and other well-established trees. This much-loved family home offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful setting close to essential amenities.
