The captivating façade of this double fronted weatherboard home stands proud before a delightfully private north-facing garden. The skillfully restored home on bluestone foundations comprises a welcoming and graceful arched hallway with original wider-than-usual Baltic pine floorboards, three bedrooms, two with built-in-robes, a fresh white provincial kitchen with French doors to the cosy lounge room featuring a quality Jøtul solid fuel heater and built in book shelves. Laundry, walk in pantry/utilities area, bathroom with a second basin/powder room for guests.

Dual studios look out to the garden; one with French doors leading to a tranquil paved alfresco area, perfect for morning coffee or summer dining. Both studios offer flexible options as home offices, entertaining space, retreat or guests quarters; both have power, heating and broadband access and one has a basin serviced with hot and cold water.

Tucked deep in the garden alongside two manageable organic vegetable beds and a selection of fruit trees, some espaliered, is a gardener's shed so charming it's almost habitable.

Other features: Natural gas hot water and stove, 8 solar panels to the grid, 3000-litre water tank, security lights, carport and off-street parking for two cars.

Superbly located in a tree-lined street only a short stroll to the Botanic Gardens, Campaspe River boardwalk, main street shopping, fast rail link and Piper Street restaurants and cafes.

Pensom House is a classic Kyneton dwelling carefully crafted into a contemporary and comfortable 21st century home.
