28 Parkins Reef Road, Maldon, Vic 3463

Delightful Coghill began its life in Melbourne's northern suburbs in the early 1900s. Having relocated to Maldon around 2007 it was lovingly renovated and modernised to create stylish, relaxed living while still retaining the character and charm of the Federation era.

The 1437 sqm (1/3-acre) is in a popular location that combines residential living with a distinctly country vibe. Distant rural views, Goldfields Reserve and parklands filled with walking trails across Anzac Hill to Mt Tarrangower are accessible from your doorstep. And everything historic Maldon has to offer is within easy walking distance.

Behind a high, clipped hedge running the width of the property, from the elevated front verandah, the cottage opens to a hallway off which run the two bedrooms. The front-situated, master suite, with its front garden vista has a walk-in robe and chic ensuite. The second bedroom has a built-in robe and Murphy bed, providing flexibility of use.

Beyond is the stylish living area. Complete with sunny sitting room, natural light-streams in through a north-facing feature window and twin French doors that seamlessly connect the interior with a lovely alfresco deck and separate outdoor sitting area both with garden aspect, perfect for outdoor dining and entertainment. The country kitchen with cabinetry and bench space, additional storage and electric cooker is neat and functional. The main bathroom has a large vanity with plenty of storage and there's an adjacent laundry with external access. 

There are several garden rooms, each with their own character and flavour. Manicured lawns are backed by lush mature foliage. Stone walls border raised sections. A boutique orchard boasts apricot, pear, lemon and apple trees. There's a circular garden bed with decorative, water-miser plants. Mature trees fringe a large gravel section at the front designed for car parking. A separate garden-set studio with power, plumbing and reverse-cycle air-conditioning will appeal to those working from home, or the hobbyist. Additional features include a neutral palette and timber floorboards throughout, ceiling roses and fans, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, solar system feeding back to the grid, garden shed and all town services. 

A stylish, characterful, low maintenance home where the living is easy is an enticing combination. Coghill offers everything you need for a relaxed country lifestyle in a desirable location and welcoming community. A lovely property. Your best life awaits.
