1071 Greendale-Trentham Road

A rare piece of Blackwood history

Description

This beautifully maintained landmark offers character, flexibility and a wonderful connection to village life. Prominently positioned on a generous 678sqm (approx.) corner allotment with dual street frontage, this distinctive historic home is an easy stroll from Blackwood's café, general store, Post Office and iconic hotel. It's a property with genuine presence - equally appealing as a permanent home, weekend escape or a future boutique accommodation opportunity (STCA). Inside, the home's colonial character is beautifully preserved, with soaring 12-foot timber ceilings, polished timber floors, decorative leadlight, bay windows and traditional dado panelling. Elegant new furnishings and premium window drapes add a layer of warmth and comfort, while excellent insulation and a newly installed high-efficiency Rinnai split system provide modern year-round convenience. Three generous bedrooms include an ensuite, complemented by a central bathroom and two powder rooms. The spacious living and dining areas are warmed by two atmospheric Eureka wood heaters, creating exactly the kind of cosy country setting that suits Blackwood so well. One of the property's most unusual features is the substantial semi-commercial kitchen, complete with walk-in cool room and cellar. Whether entertaining friends, creating a home-based lifestyle venture or exploring future accommodation or other uses (STCA), this is a home that offers possibilities well beyond the ordinary. The corner position and dual street frontage further enhance its flexibility, with potential appeal for a creative studio, wellness business, boutique enterprise or other future use (STCA). And then there's Blackwood itself. Surrounded by Wombat State Forest and Lerderderg Gorge National Park, this charming village offers a wonderfully relaxed lifestyle of cafés, local produce, bushwalking, mountain biking, mineral springs, gardens and a strong arts and community spirit. St Erth Gardens is just moments away, while Trentham is approximately 15 minutes, Ballan and V/Line services to Melbourne 20 minutes, and Kyneton and Woodend around 30 minutes. There are homes you simply live in, and there are homes that become part of the story of a place. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Blackwood, with the character, comfort and flexibility to make it your own.
