9 Burrall Street, Daylesford.

Nestled beyond a semi-circular driveway and manicured hedging, experience the captivating fusion of classic style and modern sophistication in this exquisitely renovated period home, where the original structure elegantly transitions into a thoughtfully designed, striking architectural addition. Set on approx.1,820 sqm of stunningly landscaped gardens, this elegant 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home offers a harmonious blend of luxury and natural beauty. The country lodge style extension by renowned architect Ken Charles of Centrum Architects, with its sleek lines and large windows, evokes the spirit of country living through the use of warm natural materials, colours and textures. Spotted gum clads the walls, Castlemaine stone paves the floor and the radially sawn sugar gum boards are the real hero, adding a rustic texture and vernacular twist to the vaulted ceiling. Large single pane windows offer expansive outlooks across the gardens and native vegetation beyond. Culinary enthusiasts will fall in love with the sleek kitchen, a centrepiece of the home with leafy garden views. Equipped with high-end appliances, an integrated fridge and freezer, and elegant cabinetry, it is both functional and stylish. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the inviting rear living/dining area which with underfloor heating and a wood combustion heater creates a warm and cozy atmosphere for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. A large picture window in the rear box-like projection pushes out into the garden setting and a built-in daybed elevates that experience for long and comfortable times reading, chatting or just quietly sitting and gazing across the gardens. The abundance of glazing to this northern orientation allows for generous amounts of sunshine, particularly in the colder winter months. Other large windows offer panoramic views of the gardens and treetops wrapping around the house, enhancing the overall sense of tranquillity. Step out onto the spacious deck that flows directly from the addition, offering an inviting space for gatherings and relaxation. The master suite is a spacious retreat, boasting an ensuite bathroom with underfloor heating and built-in robes, also with a flexible storage space to make your own. This tranquil space invites relaxation and offers a perfect sanctuary after a busy day. The two additional bedrooms are generously sized and can easily accommodate family or guests, providing ample space for everyone. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, one with a spa. The flexible floor plan allows for a variety of living arrangements. The original cottage at the front of the house currently operates as a fully self-contained one-bedroom villa on the holiday letting market, complete with private carparking, access, kitchen, dining area, bathroom, and lounge featuring a wood fire heater and split system air-conditioning. This space is also perfect for guests, long-term rentals, or even as a private home office. From the outside entertaining areas, take the time to wander along the enchanting gravel and stone paths that flow through the north-facing garden, where lush plantings create a serene oasis and a haven for birdlife. Meticulously planned and cultivated with an architects' eye for detail over 26 years, a diverse variety of plants, each one thoughtfully curated for maximum effect, creates a harmonious outdoor oasis all your own. Meandering paths invite exploration, while delightful bridges and decks connect, offering serene spots to enjoy the wide views incorporating the native bushland of the Daylesford Lake reserve beyond. Situated in a prime location, Burrall Street itself has the spirit of a relaxed country road with overhanging roadside trees and houses well setback from the street. It is a scenic five-minute walk out the back gate and onto the fire trail beside the eucalyptus forest of the lake reserve to the circuit walking path around Lake Daylesford, where you can enjoy leisurely strolls or relaxed picnics by the water. An off-lead dog park in the town reserve is just 2 minutes walk away at the end of the street, making it ideal for pet owners. Daylesford's vibrant main street, known for its boutique shops and gourmet restaurants, is a quick two-minute drive or a pleasant 15-20 minute stroll away.
