Steeped in local history and proudly positioned in one of Kyneton's most distinguished locations, Ebden stands as one of the town's most significant homes. Meticulously maintained and originally owned by Mr W.R. Kerr, proprietor of the Kyneton Observer, the property today offers a lifestyle rich in heritage, comfort and convenience, literally just around the corner from vibrant Piper Street, Central Victoria's destination for food lovers.
Privately tucked away within a magnificent garden setting, the home immediately impresses with its striking symmetry and timeless beauty. Solid brick construction rests gracefully on bluestone foundations, while exquisite period details including tuckpointed brickwork and stunning leadlight windows highlight the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Inside, a wide arched hallway welcomes you, framed by soaring ceilings adorned with ornate roses and cornices. The formal living rooms showcase decorative mantles and bespoke English linen Roman blinds, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. The flexible floorplan offers up to four generous bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms, one featuring Carrara marble finishes, a Victoria and Albert volcanic stone claw foot bath, and Perrin and Rowe tapware, a true touch of luxury.
The classic country kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with Harcourt granite benchtops and a 1200mm Falcon double oven, perfectly blending traditional charm with everyday functionality. A light filled sunroom, framed by an ornate stained glass window, opens out to a sun drenched undercover terrace, the ideal spot for entertaining or enjoying the peaceful garden surrounds.
Every window offers a view of the garden, a lush oasis highlighted by a magnificent magnolia and a mix of exotic plantings, creating year round interest. Multiple sitting areas invite you to pause, unwind and enjoy the serenity.
Modern comforts are well catered for, including gas hot water, Braemar EchoStar gas furnace, Rinnai gas log fire, reverse cycle heating and cooling, plus secure off street parking. There is also a large carport, 7m x 5.5m garage and workshop with toilet, separate garden shed and a 6kW solar system for energy efficiency.
A home of rare grace and heritage significance, Ebden must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Perfectly positioned in the heart of town, within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops and amenities, it represents the very best of Kyneton living.
