This budget priced property possesses all the quaintness and character to encourage devotion to the labour of love required for its restoration. Built of solid red brick circa 1880s, the 2 bedroom cottage sits on about 1/4 acre (approximately 1012m2). Presenting a return verandah to shelter visitors, leadlight and stained glass still adorn the entrance into a central hallway.
Wooden floors along with high ceilings including one made of pressed metal in the lounge continue to impart their touch of charm. Open fireplaces with exposed brick chimneys and hearths, along with a cast iron combustion stove in the dining room, add undeniable ambience. Currently more kitchenette than kitchen, this room lets imaginations run free for refurbishment, much like the bathroom.
Barbeques can be enjoyed beneath the rear verandah, overlooking the country-sized and partly fenced backyard. Peppered with a variety of well-established shade trees and shrubs, it has the basis of your garden already underway and offers shady places for the kids to play.
Handy to a wide array of amenities such as railway station, shopping, schools, fishing spots, medical and sports facilities, even the local is only a wander away. Though undoubtedly needing a lot of TLC to lift it into this century, the lofty level of enchantment at this address makes it all worthwhile.
With Elmore boasting a bakery, butcher, brand-new IGA, pharmacy, Bendigo Bank Community Bank, pubs, 2 primary schools, Primary Care Doctor's Clinic, train station and much more, consider the change to rural town living.
