20 Clowes Street

Nestled within Kyneton's green heart and directly opposite the historic Elm Walk of the Botanical Gardens, this is the kind of address locals covet and rarely leave. Quiet, secluded, peaceful - yet central to shops and services. An elevated front bullnose verandah invites you to pause and take it all in. The gardens in constant motion, leaves shifting through the seasons and, right now, turning a brilliant yellow and falling like glittering coins onto a golden 'river' below. Morning walks, weekend picnics, the laughter from the nearby adventure playground drifting through the trees… this is Kyneton's dress circle, and it always has been. And when you do feel like venturing further, it's all within easy reach, with the train station a beautiful walk through the Botanical Gardens, and town centre just a gentle stroll away beneath the plane tree canopy of Ebden Street. Behind its solid brick façade, the home unfolds with a sense of space and easy functionality. Hardwood floors ground the interiors, while a wood fire anchors the living zone for winter evenings, with a split system ready for summer days. The floorplan is cleverly zoned into two wings. At the front, two bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat before the home opens into a generous kitchen, dining and living domain. The kitchen is both practical and a little bit indulgent, with a walk-in pantry and a new Italian 900mm oven paired with a dishwasher ready for real life. The rear wing creates its own quiet pocket, with two further robed bedrooms and a spacious bathroom, ideal for growing families, guests or a bit of breathing room. The main bedroom is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a wall of built-in robes and a dual-access ensuite where a bath sits by the window, inviting you to slow down and stay awhile. Thoughtful details are scattered throughout, including a deep, double-fronted built-in cupboard in the living area, perfect for board games, photo albums and the stories that come with them. Out the back, a simple garden shed sits on a gravel base, ready for tools, projects or weekend tinkering. A home in a location that does the heavy lifting for you. One where lifestyle comes naturally, and everything you love about Kyneton is quite literally across the road.
