17 Lardner Road, Drouin, Vic 3818

Boasting an inner town location, a ten minute walk from the train station, shops, secondary school and childcare, this charming three bedroom property could not be more convenient.
Positioned on a generous 823m2 allotment, the potential to extend, subdivide or redevelop (STCA), adds another layer of appeal.
Thought to be the original manager's residence of the Drouin Butter Factory, there is a real sense of history from the endearing period facade and cottage garden to the interior with high ceilings,
baltic pine flooring, leadlight detail and original fireplaces.
A simple layout includes a central hallway flanked by two of the bedrooms, living room with the adjoining third bedroom, functional kitchen, second living/dining area and a three piece bathroom, separate toilet and laundry facilities at the rear.
Enjoy a morning coffee from the elevated verandah off the dining area overlooking the rear yard and distant tree line.
Amply equipped, the kitchen has an inset 900mm cooker with overhead mantel, dishwasher and good storage including a built-in buffet unit.
Year round temperature is assured with a solid fuel heater in the living room (ducted throughout), ceiling fans and split system air conditioning units in the living room and the two front bedrooms.
An impressive 14kw solar system significantly lowers power costs.
Additional improvements include an oversized double garage with power, a concrete floor and space for two vehicles with a partitioned workshop at the rear plus a lined and carpeted studio with power and lighting.
The broad dual driveway allows off street parking for a van, boat or trailer.
North facing, the rear garden is private, securely fenced and easy to maintain with level lawn and hedging along the boundary fence.
With its inner town convenience, potential to improve, future investment or redevelopment opportunities, this enchanting property has a bright future.
