7-9 Hodge Street, Beechworth VIC 3747

Offering a spacious open plan lounge and living room this secreted one bedroom cottage, with the potential to re-instate to three bedrooms, is located only approx. 700 metres from the centre of Beechworth and is privy to the changing seasonal moods our region is famous for. With vistas of cooling green leaves of ornamental grape and canoe birch in summer and town views in winter through the deciduous branches, the changing colours of autumn and Spring provide for peaceful and relaxing lifestyle.

This home is located on a large allotment and seamlessly blends into the surrounding gardens and the full length private rear deck offers views over the rear garden. Polished timbers dominate this little big home with flooring of ash throughout. Jarrah floors line the bathroom and laundry and there is a black butt deck. French cedar doors open to extend the living area or close to create a cosy warm living area in the winter months. The extended living area presents the opportunity to re-instate previous bedrooms or to maintain and enjoy the full home length garden views.

The private garden offers revegetation, productive (vegetable, asparagus and fruit) and native shrub areas. Native and sedge grasses dominate the revegetation area along with the naturally revegetating unusual grasses. The garden edges are predominantly trimmed with handmade bricks leading to fruit trees including plum, apricot, pear and nashi. The productive and native shrub gardens have been developed using a variety of organic methods for the last 11 years. A large garage is also on site.

From this cottage the lucky new owner can enjoy a variety of local walks into central Beechworth, past the lake and through public gardens or possibly an energetic walk around the lake to enjoy the abundant birdlife and the opportunity to spot a roaming Koala or two.

This home is best and purposefully viewed, and enjoyed, from the rear deck with front of the property presenting a low key entrance. The home itself currently offers a comfortable sized kitchen and adjacent dining area, bathroom and large Queen-size bedroom. The home is well insulated and there is also a 2Kkw solar system installed plus solar hot water.
