8 Kerferd Road

From its origins as a Victorian era, humble timber cottage, this remarkable transformation into an energy efficient and sustainable home must be seen to be truly understood and appreciated. With a detailed and comprehensive design to ensure a 7-star energy rating the home incorporates style and showcases period charm with high ceilings, timber floors, original window hoods, and ornate fireplaces, whilst light-filled interiors, double glazing, reverse cycle heating and cooling, and underfloor insulation ensure modern and eco-friendly living. The open-plan living and dining areas feature cathedral ceilings, with a wood fireplace with a granite backdrop providing thermal mass, creating a natural focal point for the sitting area. Ideal for entertaining, the kitchen is exquisitely appointed with custom cabinetry, timber benchtops and quality Bosch appliances, including an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and down-draught exhaust fan. A cleverly designed butler's pantry hides away the refrigerator and adjoins the laundry, complete with plenty of work space, external access, under-bench washer space, and built-in linen storage. A flexible floor plan offers four generous bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in robe and private ensuite featuring a stone-topped vanity and underfloor heating. The remaining bedrooms share a beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with stone finishes, heated floors, and a deep bath with a walk-in shower. Throughout, thoughtful details such as ceiling fans, textural finishes, and natural materials create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting, blending luxury with comfort. Outdoors beyond the extensive verandas, meandering pathways, layered plantings, and a brick-paved seating area form a bird attracting garden that evolves with the seasons, offering year-round appeal for passionate green thumbs. Perfectly positioned in central Beechworth, the home provides easy walking access to the town centre, the rail trail, and tranquil Lake Sambell. A complete lifestyle proposition, it balances location, design, and quality in one exceptional package.
