34-36 Edgecombe Street, Kyneton, VIC, 3444, Australia

This gracious home, circa 1880, is set within a beautiful half acre garden shaded by a century-old oak and mature elm trees.

Built for William Blair, a prominent stonemason involved with the old Kyneton Primary School and other local buildings of significance, the home is set on bluestone footings and is a fine example of its architectural heritage.

Period features are present throughout and include a tessellated tiled veranda, lead-light windows, soaring ceilings, fireplaces, cast iron lacework and deep cornice and architraves.

The current owner has masterfully renovated this stunning property bringing it back to its proper place amongst the other significant properties in historical Edgecombe Street.

With a mixture of original and modern architecture, the home blends both old and new, and grace and intimacy with ease. The formal lounge has a mural on the ceiling and, along with the original timber floors and stunning fireplace, creates a special place to entertain or simply enjoy an evening's relaxation.

The contemporary family living room, with floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows, includes a beautiful kitchen, cleverly designed with hidden storage and a magnificent marble benchtop. An exceptionally functional space in which to cook and entertain whilst overlooking the pool and garden. Doors allow direct access to the pool and rear garden areas where you will find a restored studio space featuring the original shingles and trusses, as well as bathroom facilities enabling it to be used for work, play or additional accommodation.

The main bedroom has direct access to the garden, a walk-in robe and an exquisite en-suite with a stunning mural completing this space. The two guest bedrooms and family bathroom carry the same quality throughout as does the fully insulated double garage.

This very special property has been loved by its owners over the years, the renovation is outstanding and whilst being true to its history, has joined the modern world - "it is the perfect place to live".
