16 Young Street, Leongatha, Vic 3953

Behind a white picket fence and just a stroll to coffee at Henrietta's is a romantic period home that oozes all the charm of yesteryear, married with a modern rear extension. The result of this union is a gorgeous, character-filled home that takes full advantage of its northerly aspect, its soaring ceilings and its generous rooms. Tastefully renovated in light, muted tones, and estimated to have been built around 1907, the original 3 double front bedrooms and wide central hallway feature tongue and groove dado panelling, 11 feet ceilings, deep skirting boards and sash windows.
The separate lounge room, also in the original section, has a warm gas log fire with a period timber surround, and is opposite the master bedroom suite.
A smooth transition into the rear zone takes you past all-glass outlooks to courtyard gardens, opening onto a gleaming expanse of Jarrah floors. Here the ceilings soar even higher, with atrium style window treatments and full glass outlooks to the gardens. The kitchen, galley style, features stunning tiles, oodles of quality, vinyl wrap cupboards and pot drawers, stainless steel appliances and pantry. This informal zone also contains a dining area that will satisfy those who love to entertain, and a big living space that opens out to the rear timber decks. The study and laundry are also at this end, with the study opening through French doors onto the decks, and the laundry also with its own direct outdoor access, and fitted benches and cupboards. The bathrooms have beautiful tiles, and there are two toilets.
Outdoors, entertain in style on the timber decking with shade sails, and potter in the double garage-sized garden shed. There expansive lawns, veggie garden zone and direct rear laneway access. This deep rear garden has plenty of room to store the boat, the caravan or the trailer, out of sight from the house.
Whether you are alone, a couple, or a family, this central Leongatha home will tick many boxes if you seek something unique. There is potential to sub-divide (STCA), but most will want to retain the entire property for themselves
