MINERS COTTAGE TO MONTROSE MANSION

With a history reaching back to the early days of Montrose, an inspired renovation and a separate unit, ideal as an Airbnb or rental money earner, this breathtaking home is a absolute must see! Starting out life as a miners cottage housing workers from a nearby quarry and extended over the years to become a glamourous four bedroom, two living area home, this spacious abode “WOWS” with expansive light filled living with amazing garden views, stunning kitchen and bathrooms and an impressive sense of style and fun.

The cottage has been embraced within the home with delightful traces still evident including the original fireplace complete with swing arm possibly employed by a miner to simmer a pot of possum stew and an original window next to the fireplace. But don’t think for a minute this home is in any way primitive, in fact this glorious home is elegant, full of character and luxuriously appointed with superb spotted gum flooring, large picture windows in the huge lounge/dining room with adjacent stone topped kitchen with dishwasher and walk in pantry.

Offering stylish high ceilings including vaulted ceiling in the sumptuous master with large deluxe ensuite featuring floor to ceiling tiling and double vanity and access to the sparkling 12mt inground solar heated pool with red Castlemaine slate paved surrounds.

Delivering a flexible layout to meet your needs discover a second living area at the front of the home that could be used as a pool room or work from home space. This stunning room overlooks the leafy front garden and offers stair access to a downstairs bedroom or the adventurous at heart could descend via a hidden slide. The home also offers a beautifully appointed family bathroom with floor to ceiling tiling and deep soaking bath and updated laundry. Additional features include two split systems, gas heater and triple lock up garage.

Now here is where this property really gets interesting! Tucked away privately at the rear of the block is a beautifully renovated, fully self contained, one bedroom unit which is separatly metered and rated and would make an ideal Airbnb or rental money earner or equally ideal for a relative needing separate accoomodation.
