At first glance you could be forgiven for thinking you're looking at a stunning shed conversion. But no, this is an exceptional, custom-built home boasting the 'wow factor' at every turn. Cleverly designed to pay homage to the Australian bush setting and sitting sympathetically within a 1,375 sqm (1/3-acre) block in picturesque Newstead Village. Built to exacting standards feature windows make the most of a coveted northerly aspect to flood the interior with natural light all day long and drawing the home's surroundings into every room. Step from the wide, covered, full length verandah into a sleek, stylish interior where clean lines and light-filled spaces dominate.The crisp white palette, complimented by neutral tones, stunning stone and dramatic black highlights play beautifully off the exquisite concrete floors that flow throughout. The heart of the home is an expansive living/dining space, perfect for relaxation and entertainment and beyond, a culinary kitchen that will delight the entertainer. Bespoke black cabinetry sits elegantly under sweeping marble benchtops inset with premium appliances including a Belling range gas and electric cooker plus dishwasher. A striking timber island bench reflected in the mirror splash back combines both function and beauty while delivering a lovely sense of warmth to this exceptional space. There are three beautifully crafted bedrooms; the impressive premier suite with its superb walk through robe opens to a chic ensuite with signature floor to ceiling tiles in neutral tones, walk-in shower and continuing the black highlights, a large vanity with ample storage and twin basins. Two further queen bedrooms each with built-in robes, share a centrally located, similarly themed family bathroom. There's also a laundry with built-in storage and external access as well as a handy mud room. Additional highlights include split system heating/cooling and all town services. Beyond the home and stand of newly planted ornamental driveway trees, the block has been cleared to deliver a blank canvas ready for landscaping and individual touches and there's plenty of room for a shed if desired. With its peaceful village vibe, primary school, post office, cafes, IGA, pub and proximity to Maldon (10 minutes), Castlemaine (15 minutes), Daylesford (25 minutes) and Melbourne (90 minutes) it's no wonder recent years have seen Newstead become one of the region's 'go-to' lifestyle destinations for permanent or weekend living.
