70 Railway Place, Macedon
Village lifestyle with luxe comforts
Enjoy village living with space, privacy and character, all just moments from the heart of Macedon.
Texturally rich and beautifully presented, this two-storey country home perfectly blends heritage features with modern comfort.
The story of this home must begin in the renovated kitchen, for its here where the unique Aga oven rests. Run on natural gas, the sought-after piece boasts four ovens and two cook plates. The wide 12-inch floorboards and antique Kauri floors are a conversation starter, as is the internal wall hand baked recycled bricks from the 1800s. Stone benchtops, a butlers pantry, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and a striking double UK-made fireclay sink elevate both form and function, while French doors open to a covered deck completing the meals area.
Warmed by a Benjamin Franklin inspired open fire, the generous open plan lounge includes an adjustable Oregon bookcase. Large families will love the versatility of the large entry room, whilst a separate living and office adds further versatility for those working from home or seeking a quiet place to unwind.
With ducted heating/cooling, upstairs is comfortable year-round. There are four bedrooms three with built-in robes, the fourth a gorgeous skylit A-frame. Both upstairs (floor-heated) bathrooms showcase Jarrah vanities, and you simply cant go past a clawfoot bath.
Built by renowned National Trust of Victorias head contractor Tam Peirce in 2008 (think Rippon Lea and Como House), the detail in this home is exquisite - hydronic underfloor heating, Travertine stone bathrooms, handmade Fireclay sinks, reconditioned Redgum from Station Pier, double glazed windows, loft storage, new blinds, renovated laundry, the list goes on. The property (approx. 2381m) is a delightful mix of landscaped gardens, established natives, scattered fruit trees (plum, pear, cherry, currants, Meyer lemon), vegie patch, dedicated firepit area and lawn. The property is fully fenced with a solar-powered automated architectural steel gate, custom made locally, setting the tone for the quality within. A large shed with woodfire heater is ideal for machinery, a studio or gym, while reticulated watering and the option to switch between town and rainwater add everyday practicality.
Location wise, you cant get more central. Genuinely a moments walk to Macedon and all it offers V/Line, Macedon Village Hotel, schools, supermarket, restaurants and post office. Enjoy the ease of a home that has been thoughtfully completed, where all the work has been done and the lifestyle is ready to be lived.
