245 Mackenzie Street West, Kangaroo Flat, Vic 3555

Quaint and cosy, this utterly charming cottage has the good fortune of recent refurbishment without sacrificing character. Supplying a place to perch with a cuppa and watch the world go by, a traditional verandah adorned with timber corbels shelters visitors in true vintage style. Likewise, a rear verandah provides shade for alfresco living, overlooking an expansive lawn lined with lofty palms and gums. Equally endearing, the interior melds modern convenience with period details. A cosy way to spend a winter's day, the roomy lounge has a large open fireplace with marble hearth to curl up to and ample space for a study. Open to the kitchen where a gas stove sits amongst colonial style cabinetry, the meals area hosts a gas heater. Both big bedrooms contain reverse cycle split systems as well as freestanding robes. The shower room and laundry have been cleverly combined. On (approx.) 735m2, the block adjoins a council reserve beyond the back boundary, a priceless addition without the required upkeep. A single carport beside the house is handy for daily use, while a 9m x 4.8m shed can secure 2 more vehicles and has a workshop complete with bench, power, lights and concrete floor. An extensive greywater system connected to a 240 volt pump feeds drippers that irrigate gorgeous gardens, but can be switched to Coliban as required.
A highly convenient location, it is within walking distance of schools, shops, sports and leisure centre. Commuters will also appreciate close proximity to buses, train station and Calder Highway.
