Is this the best townhouse in Woodend? Likely, yes. 

Situated in arguably Woodend's most picturesque street, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom property is a lesson in how to make a townhouse feel like a stand-alone home. The current vendor has made some significant renovations and a range of clever design choices, creating a home that is elegant and oozing with style and sophistication. Unlike a typical townhouse, this residence has the space and privacy of an independent house, enhanced by soaring cathedral ceilings and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

As you drive along Carlisle Street, you'll be enchanted by the majestic oak trees that line this charming street. Turning into the driveway of number 16, you'll find number 3 conveniently positioned at the front, offering the advantage of street frontage - no need to drive past your neighbours. Entering the home you will appreciate the light-filled living and dining area, the contemporary kitchen and the adjacent French doors which are framed entirely by lush greenery. 

The rich Wormy Chestnut floorboards, crafted from a blend of three native eucalypts, add warmth and character. A gas log fire and split-system heating and cooling ensure comfort throughout the seasons. 

The contemporary kitchen features granite benchtops, a quality electric stove, and a Bosch dishwasher. Ample storage and generous bench space make cooking and entertaining effortless. Enjoy hosting dinner parties and chatting with guests who can gather around the dining table or lounge in the living area while you prepare - this is an entertainer's dream! 

To the back of the property, a hallway leads to 3 bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Two of the three bedrooms include built-in robes, providing ample storage. 

The garden is truly a highlight. Stepping through the French doors onto the decking, you'll find a lush sanctuary of exotic plants to your right and a delightful collection of native flora to your left. With no visible fences, the outdoor space feels private and expansive, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat. Exterior blinds provide additional protection from frost and harsh weather conditions. Outside you will also find a crazy-paved alfresco dining area, perfect for enjoying meals in the fresh air. An electric retractable awning provides shade and comfort, making this space usable year-round. 

The home is equipped with 12 solar panels, ensuring energy efficiency and lower electricity costs. With NBN connectivity, high-speed internet access is available for work and leisure. The property is built on a solid concrete slab foundation, ensuring durability, and features town water and an electric hot water system for convenience. A single garage/carport and a garden shed provide additional storage options.

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, this home offers a peaceful and private living environment while remaining close to local amenities. The combination of architectural charm, modern updates, and a beautifully landscaped garden makes this property a rare find in Woodend.

Thoughtfully updated by the current owner, this home perfectly embodies Yves Saint Laurent's timeless sentiment: "Fashion fades, but style is eternal."
