36 Parkins Reef Road, Maldon, Vic 3463

Within walking distance to historic Maldon’s town centre this unique, stylish and versatile property is indeed an unmissable opportunity. The 1,057 sqm site of the old Maldon Dairy (1954) has been meticulously transformed with the 2019 addition of a relocated Californian bungalow, comprehensively restored and renovated to deliver the very best in tasteful yet relaxed indoor/outdoor living. Professionally landscaped low-maintenance garden beds adorn the home’s entrance, the façade in dove grey and white highlighting the front verandah and decorative roofline.

The interior opens to the traditional, wide central hallway, high ceilings further enhancing the sense of space and light as stunning hardwood timber floorboards compliment the chic white palette. On each side of the hallway are two light and bright queen bedrooms, premier suite with WIR and stylish ensuite. A period-faithful lead-light hallway door opens to reveal the impressively proportioned family zone, thoughtfully designed to deliver a warm and inviting ambience for family relaxation and entertainment or larger gatherings. A cosy sunroom integrated with the family zone boasts full height glass sliders that open to a delightful, covered alfresco deck; its north-west aspect delivering sensational sunset views across to Mount Tarrangower. With an all-white palette, shaker cabinetry, premium electric appliances and plenty of bench space, the designer kitchen will delight the entertainer. There’s a dedicated dining room with French doors to a side deck. Two further queen bedrooms each with BIR occupy this section of the home, sharing a centrally located family bathroom with spa bath, vanity, shower and toilet. For those working from home, there’s an excellent home office/study or fifth bedroom if desired. Finished to exemplary standards additional features include new roofing, piers, wiring and plumbing as well as wall and underfloor insulation, slow combustion and reverse-cycle heating/cooling, laundry with cabinetry and external access, wood/garden shed, plenty of parking and fully fenced rear gardens with retaining walls and native garden beds.

While the main home would more than meet every discerning buyer’s need, the property’s appeal is further enhanced by the meticulous conversion of the old dairy, where its separate entrance opens to a stylish, light-filled, self-contained studio.  Soaring cove ceilings fill the free-flowing living and dining space with wood-fire heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning, fully equipped kitchen and Euro laundry. There’s a queen bedroom with robe and chic all-white bathroom with stylish black trim.  Privately set away from the main home and fully fenced, the inclusion of an amenity of this calibre is rare indeed; its versatility delivering the perfect teenager’s retreat, guest accommodation or revenue-generating rental or BnB accommodation venue.

Moments away from everything vibrant Maldon has to offer, and with Castlemaine (15 minutes), Bendigo (30 minutes) and Melbourne (90 minutes) all within easy reach, the lifestyle this property offers is exceptional. Properties of this calibre are rare to the market and one such as this, with its flexibility and scope confirm the outstanding opportunity this property presents.
