This superbly renovated home is positioned on an elevated hillside overlooking the Lerderderg River, the valley, the Lerderderg State Park, and nearby farmlands, offering stunning 180-degree views. The property features a pitched gabled roof, wraparound verandah, and leadlight windows that establish immediate heritage character, complemented by a comprehensive and beautiful interior renovation that enhances the original heritage style with contemporary design.

The home is oriented to maximize outlook and natural light, with views from key living zones and outdoor areas, reinforcing a strong sense of connection while maintaining privacy. An inviting sunken lounge anchors the main entry, finished with a wood fireplace, a panelled feature wall, statement pendant lighting, and quality window furnishings. This lounge is designed for both relaxing and entertaining in a cozy environment.

Two generously sized bedrooms are positioned off a private hallway, each including built-in robes and natural light. The central bathroom is finished with elegant textured tiling, gold tapware, a clawfoot bath, and a separate concealed toilet and shower, combining character reference with updated design. A separate study provides additional flexibility and includes access to a large attic storage area in the roof space, fitted with flooring for easy access.

The main kitchen, living, and dining area with restored hardwood flooring forms the central hub of the home. Designed to engage the outlook, this space is filled with windows that bring in natural light and breathtaking views of the Lerderderg valley. The kitchen is appointed with quality SMEG appliances, natural stone quartzite benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, and a breakfast bar.

The home has gas ducted heating throughout, supported in the main living area by split system heating and cooling. The wraparound verandah extends directly from this space, creating a continuous connection between interior and exterior living. An additional decked area provides further outdoor seating and entertaining capacity, both positioned to take in the surrounding outlook.

The master bedroom suite is generously scaled and opens directly to the verandah via sliding doors. It includes a walk-in robe with fitted storage and drawers, and an ensuite with a separate toilet and a double vanity. A large shower space features both a wall shower and an optional overhead rain shower.

Wainscoting panelling extends from the front to the rear of the home, continuing down the staircase to the lower ground level, maintaining a consistent material language throughout the home. The stairs lead to the lower ground level which includes a third fully appointed bathroom, a renovated laundry, and a large multi-purpose space suitable for a home office, gym, or games room.

Internal access leads to a double garage with adjoining workshop space, lined in thick plywood beams for practical storage and use. Externally, the property is landscaped for low maintenance while retaining usable outdoor zones, including lawn areas, established planting, and a 50 square meter level pad suitable for parking cars, a caravan, boat, or trailer.

The renovations to this property have been extensive, including all floor coverings, interior and exterior painting throughout, interior lighting, fixtures, fittings, and appliances. Additional features include gas ducted heating, decorative ceiling roses, leadlight windows, ornate architraves, strategically located USB and USB-C points, and 3-phase power.

Beyond the home, lifestyle and nature are immediately accessible. Walking tracks along the Lerderderg River are nearby, with Bacchus Marsh Golf Club within walking distance. This home is defined by its elevation, outlook, and a carefully crafted renovation, delivering a rare combination of federation character and contemporary, functional design.
