16 Victoria St, Trentham VIC 3458

As soon as you open the front door, you know that every attention to detail has evolved to create a genuine country feel and charm, including the 2.7m ceilings, highly polished original messmate timber floors, bespoke floor to ceiling bookshelves, a lined attic storage, tongue and groove walls, Roman Blinds, and double-glazed hardwood framed windows & doors throughout.

The main residence features two bedrooms, with the very spacious master wing, including floor to ceiling built-in designer robes and French doors overlooking the north-facing deck and beautiful garden. The second bedroom is generous in size with lots of natural light and views across to the Trent Creek Reserve. The studio has a multi-purpose use as a home office and/or an additional third bedroom, with its own ensuite, or a short-term accommodation option for rental income.

The true heart of the home is the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, with a simply stunning and unique timber island bench featuring kitchen cabinetry with marquetry inlays and soft closing drawers with designer handles and drawer pulls. The exceptional quality continues with a Belling seven gas burner cook top with 4 electric convection ovens, hand crafted Victorian Ash timber benchtops throughout, and an undermount designer Chambord French Farmhouse sink with Perrin & Rowe tapware and highly functional walk-through pantry, where storage solutions and workspace abound.

The living area ensures you will be cosy, comfortable and warm with a Regency wood burning fire, set in a hand-crafted Castlemaine Rock hearth surround, and a highly efficient split system AC for additional heating and cooling. Adjacent to the dining area is a light-filled second living space or reading nook for contemplation, rest and relaxation.

A European-style, immaculately renovated bathroom with travertine tile flooring, is accented with a stand-alone bathtub, seamless walk-in shower, recessed toilet and stone vanity with sunken fireclay basin and luxe tapware. And the laundry is well designed in a practical space with a sunken fireclay trough and external access for ease of use.

Not only has this home been lovingly restored in every way, there has been a complete renaissance in the garden areas as well. Set well back from the street frontage, there is a charming and private sunken garden with terraced stone surfaces, including established Silver Birch, Liquid Ambar and Pencil Pines underplanted with seasonal flowering plants.

A stunning Mediterranean-style rear garden, designed on permaculture principles, includes edible plants, such as vegetables, herbs and flowers, interplanted with other exotic cool climate selections and species.

A massive north facing deck for alfresco entertaining, with French doors from the master bedroom and reading nook, continues this full integration into a sensational backyard, with a bespoke brick pizza oven, a fully enclosed edible kitchen garden, fruit trees and assorted berries.

Extensive external buildings include a large shed/man cave and external food preserving kitchen (30m2), with shelving, concrete floor, power points and lighting, and trough with hot and cold water, and an additional steel shed / storage locker with concrete floor, skylight and power. A garden storage and potting shed for propagation of vegetable and flower seedlings is complimented by a small and beautifully proportioned hothouse in a delightful position within the kitchen garden.

A large, purpose-built woodshed with two spacious bays to keep your firewood dry throughout the year, and traditional country chook pen and 3-bay compost rotation system, are designed to optimize the potential for self-sufficiency.

And, if all of this is not enough, there is treehouse above with solar PV and battery system, recently installed carpet, and a 12V wall mounted television with aerial and excellent reception.

There is no doubt you can escape to your own beautiful and bountiful oasis, right in the heart of Trentham, and still be close to the café culture and retail services you need, all within walking distance. And if you need to commute to Melbourne, there is the fast train from Woodend and only 40 minutes to the domestic and international airport.
