Overview

This property blends the charm of a meticulously renovated 1920s farmhouse with the conveniences of modern living, set on nearly 1.5 acres of lush grounds in Bunyip. The generous land offers expansive established gardens and paddocks, creating a peaceful rural lifestyle close to town amenities.

Inside, original architectural features such as soaring ceilings, Baltic pine floors, ornate cornices, and leadlight windows are complemented beautifully by contemporary finishes. The standout kitchen provides both functionality and style, equipped with custom cabinetry, stone benchtops, and a striking Falcon multi-oven cooker situated within the original brick fireplace. These elements combine to offer an inviting cooking and entertaining hub, enhanced by practical touches including a dishwasher and plumbed fridge space.

Ideal for family living and versatile use, the home includes a spacious living room, dedicated meals area, and a utility room that can accommodate various needs. Four sizable bedrooms benefit from ample storage, accompanied by two elegant bathrooms featuring full-height tiling, twin vanities, and oversized showers, while the family bathroom includes a spa bath to offer relaxation.

Modern comforts such as split-system air conditioning, a solid-fuel heater, upgraded carpeting, roller blinds, and a comprehensive security system ensure year-round comfort and peace of mind.

A significant highlight is the massive shed, measuring approximately 26.5 by 7.5 meters with 3.6-meter clearance. It houses three distinct workspaces including a fully outfitted man cave with bar and wood heater, making it perfectly suited for tradespeople, hobbyists, or car enthusiasts who require extensive storage and workspace. High-clearance sliding doors, three-phase power, and air conditioning further enhance its functionality.

The extensive 15kW solar power system contributes to energy efficiency, while the outdoor amenities such as a carport that doubles as an entertaining area, mature oak trees, ornamental gardens, and water features create an idyllic country setting. Additional features supporting a self-sufficient lifestyle include established fruit trees, a fenced vegetable garden with raised beds, a chicken coop, and two paddocks with shelter suitable for a pony. Water needs are managed via two 13,500-litre tanks servicing the gardens and shed, supplemented by town water for household use.

Located close to essential local services including shops, schools, cafes, and transport, the property successfully combines rural tranquility with convenient access to daily needs. It presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a country lifestyle with ample space to live, work, and entertain.
