There's so much to love about this characterful renovated miner's cottage in one of Maldon's best residential streets. 

The 1,025 sqm (1/4-acre) block is level and boasts sweeping lawns and landscaped gardens with paved pathways and shady areas that will appeal to avid and novice gardeners alike. Nestled within this tranquil setting is the quintessential miner's cottage with charming period features including timber floors, cove ceilings and dado panelling, seamlessly blended with all the modern amenities we expect today. 

The covered verandah entry opens to an interior that is instantly warm and inviting, filled with natural light and a soft-tone palette. Entry is to the generous family room off which is the master bedroom with stunning leadlight window. Through to further two beautifully appointed bedrooms on opposite sides of the hallway. Beyond is the galley-style country kitchen. With electric wall oven and gas cooktop set into sweeping timber benchtops over white cabinetry, there's ample space for all your crockery, appliances and pantry items. Adjacent is the light and bright dining room with French doors to a rear-garden facing paved alfresco dining and entertainment area under a wide shade sail. The outlook, over raised lawns with stone feature wall is tranquil and a clever use of space. Centrally located, the family bathroom features a yellow bath with dado panel, overhead shower and toilet. There's a well fitted out external laundry with storage, concrete double troughs and useful second toilet. The home's many additional highlights include wood-fire heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans, quality fixtures and fittings throughout, instant gas hot water and all town services.

The property is fully fenced with heritage wire fencing and gate at the front, while the rear is secured by boundary fencing and division between front and rear making this a private and safe space for children and pets. There's a cubby house and wood/storage shed while a side driveway leads to a single carport plus additional covered space with storage shedding at the rear. 

Within walking distance to Maldon's vibrant cafes and shops, primary school, post office and services, and with peaceful walking trails including Mt Tarrangower and Goldfields tracks almost at your doorstep, families, downsizers, tree-changers or weekenders will readily appreciate this lovely cottage's many attributes that confirm its credentials as the perfect antidote for today's hectic pace.
