36 Bowen Street, Kyneton VIC 3444

Live in comfortable period charm, generate an instant income and face a future full of possibilities. Located in one of Kyneton's most central spots; there's almost no need for a car with shopping, dining and recreation within moments reach and the much loved Monsieur Pierre at the end of the street.

The 816sqm (approx.) secure block incorporates an updated and charming 1930s Californian weatherboard home, a self-contained one-bedroom, one bathroom unit on its own gas and electric meter, an oversized shed with separate workshop space, ideal for caravans and tradespeople and a very tidy, low maintenance garden.

Such a sweet spot, so close to Piper Street, with excellent potential Airbnb vibes for the unit. Currently yielding approximately $800pcm, it also offers a great long-term passive income stream.

The home's façade has plenty of charm thanks to original style leadlight windows and the classic Californian bungalow front verandah.

Thankfully many period features have been retained within; the Baltic pine floors have been polished and a decorative fireplace is a romantic centrepiece in the front loungeroom. Split system heating and cooling along with evaporative cooling supported by the 4.4-kilowatt solar system are noteworthy updates.

The main home consists of three bedrooms, one with a beautiful ornate timber mantlepiece and skylight and the main with robes. The tidy central bathroom has a bath and separate shower. The eat in style kitchen has been well updated over the years with new benches, soft close cabinetry and Westinghouse appliances. A huge bonus here is the large walk-in pantry.

There's lots to love about this charming home, starting with its great location. The option of extending the home or incorporating the ultimate alfresco space is there. There is certainly plenty of inspiration to be found in this and the surrounding streets.
