78-82 George Street

Dating back 161 years to carry with it rich history and real significance, this hilltop Victorian with a tennis court, guest accommodation, and mountain vistas is its own three-acre* sanctuary just footsteps from the heart of the Kilmore township. Originally the domain of Kilmore pioneer John Kelly Trainor and kept meticulously by only a handful of owners since, the home sits among expanses of greenery and canopies of flora, with its soaring cypress trees and bluestone fence making a first impression to never be forgotten. A timeless façade is as just alluring today as it was all those years ago, prefacing an interior = where modern comforts complement old-world intricacies. A master with its own ensuite, sizeable study/sitting room, three further bedrooms, and a main bathroom with a dual-basin vanity, walk-in shower, clawfoot bath, and under-floor heating are all superb counterparts to a main section brilliant for hosting friends and family. Two sets of bi-fold doors blend living and dining areas with a wrap-around deck great for barbecues, drinks on a summer evening, or morning espresso taking in the fresh air, while an integrated dishwasher, coffee machine, and range-topping 90cm cooker join ribbons of marble in adorning a Smeg-equipped kitchen made for the passionate home chef. Heightening appeal as a luxury getaway, a fully lit tennis court takes the fore beside an elevated entertainer's pavilion with its powder room and dining, bar, lounge, and billiards areas, spilling out to a covered terrace perfect for a post-game gin & tonic taking in a rolling-hill sunset. A separate, self-contained cottage offers a smart bathroom, pair of bedrooms, living area with a kitchenette, and split-system heating/cooling to be ideal as a guesthouse or income-producing short-stay rental, while the property's other standouts range from a pond and footbridge to a spa/sauna gazebo, gym area, music studio/beauty room, garaging for 7 cars, a depot and truck-friendly driveways, and ample space for kids to ride bikes, kick a ball, and burn off their energy. Other highlights include three-phase and solar power, bore water, fruit and truffle-inoculated trees, chicken enclosure, and main-home features in grey ironbark floors, ethanol-fuelled original fireplaces, split-system heating/cooling, a full-size laundry, and various period details keeping heritage alive. Perfectly placed for leaving the car at home, walking into town, and enjoying everything Kilmore has to offer, it's only moments to Coles, Woolworths, and ALDI supermarkets, popular pubs and restaurants, multiple cafés and bakeries, the leisure/aquatic centre, Golf, Football/Netball, Cricket, and Tennis Clubs, Kilmore and St Patrick's Primary Schools, esteemed Assumption College, buses bound for Kilmore East Station, and the Hume Freeway for city access in less than an hour.
