13 Byres Road, Blackwood.

Imagine throwing off the shackles of city life, waking up each morning and strolling into town for your first coffee of the day. This is your opportunity to join the thriving community of Blackwood surrounded by the majestic Wombat State Forest. This picturesque timber cottage set on 843m2 offers buyers loads of options; a cosy turn-key weekender, short term rental investment or leave the city behind and make that tree change you have been dreaming of. This two-bedroom home is move in ready, with nothing to do. Set amongst lovely gardens which provide privacy, both front and rear full-length verandahs offer the perfect spot to read, enjoy a cup of tea or watch bird life. The heart of the home is the light filled living area warmed by a Ned Kelly wood fire and split system, featuring low maintenance hybrid flooring and opens to two generous bedrooms – one with full-length built-in robes. The updated kitchen includes a 900mm Emilia 5-burner gas stove with electric oven, and quartz look bench tops. The sparkling, renovated bathroom adds a touch of luxury with a Monsoon showerhead over the bath, separate toilet, and space for your washer / dryer. The rear garden is private and tranquil with established hedging and bird attracting trees, and charming stone pathways which wind around the yard and a lovely lawn area to entertain with family and friends. A one car garage / shed complete with concrete floors, electricity and a charming deck could be converted into an artist's studio, or work from home space with a little creative invention. A further colourbond shed is perfect for all your tools and firewood. This little gem in beautiful Blackwood is a must inspect! Blackwood is a short one-hour drive from Melbourne via the Western Highway, and 15-minute drive to the townships of Trentham and Ballan. Set amongst the beauty of the Wombat State Forest, the town is home to the Blackwood pub, general store, post office and mineral springs.
