Overview

Istana On Duke is a beautifully renovated circa-1934 weatherboard home that masterfully combines timeless country charm with contemporary comfort. Situated on a generous 1,009 square metre allotment in a highly sought-after street of Daylesford, the property enjoys scenic views toward the nearby Wombat Forest and is conveniently close to the main street and local amenities.

The house retains classic character details including original dado panelling, picture rails, and wide floorboards that add warmth and personality, harmoniously blended with essential modern upgrades such as restumping, rewiring, floor insulation, new sections of ceiling, and a new roof, all designed to support relaxed and comfortable living.

With a flexible layout featuring three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, the home offers versatile living options. Two front bedrooms are oriented to capture the western views and natural light, with the main bedroom boasting a walk-in robe and reverse-cycle air conditioning. The third bedroom features charming cottage details with wall panelling and a barn-style sliding door, adding character throughout the home.

Central to the design is a classic country kitchen, equipped with concrete benchtops, a freestanding 90cm gas cooktop and oven set within a brick surround, and a generous servery that connects seamlessly to the second living space. Two distinct living areas provide ample space for both cozy relaxation by the wood combustion fire during cooler months and generous entertaining with views of the rear garden.

The bathrooms are thoughtfully updated, including a main bathroom with a large shower and claw-foot bath, a second bathroom with laundry facilities, and a stylish powder room adding personality and convenience.

Outdoors, the extensive garden is a peaceful haven featuring a silver birch tree and numerous tranquil corners for quiet enjoyment. The sizable allotment also offers potential for future subdivision, subject to local council approval, making the residence appealing to a range of buyers.

This property is particularly well suited for those seeking a picturesque, character-filled home with modern living comforts within walking distance of Daylesford’s town centre and lifestyle offerings.
