High and handsome, this Georgian-inspired abode is in a brilliant spot for navigating the town’s attractions. A short laneway at court’s end leads to the main drag, along which is the Barringo Village – home to fab provedore/cafe Baringo Food & Wine Co – the train station, primary school and other services.

The house benefits from rigorous maintenance and regular revamps which has kept it fresh, inviting and a fine place for a family to relax and soak it all up. Walls are newly painted in a wheat shade, with accent walls in varying colours; windows come dressed in roller or white-timber blinds; and floors have honey-toned laminated floorboards or grey carpet.
A theatre room, through double doors, is the first cab off the rank along the floorboarded entry hall. Painted in soft-aubergine, with black feature wall and roller blinds, the large room is moody and intimate – just right for watching a movie.
A carpeted study opposite, with a closet, could easily be the fourth bedroom – a toilet is farther along, as is the laundry with good storage and double garage access.
The floorboards continue through to the hub (with gas log fire) incorporating the kitchen. This has new soft-close vinyl-wrap white cabinetry with lots of drawers, a grey waterfall stone bench, a corner pantry with opaque-glass door, a wine rack, wall electric oven, Blanco five-burner cooktop and Bosch dishwasher.
Carpeted stairs head up to a large living room which, like the main bedroom up here, takes in terrific views of Mt Macedon through a tinted multi-paned window. Two bedrooms, with ceiling fan and mirrored robes, share a bright main bathroom with a spa.
The spacious main bedroom has a fitted dressing room with a Georgian fanlight window admitting light and mountain views, as well as a fully tiled smart new en suite with floating vanity and heated towel rail.
Out back, facing a large lawn area rimmed with attractive gardens is a great outdoor room. Fully enclosed with bistro blinds, it has chequerboard paving, a gas log fire, ceiling fan, and built-in barbecue atop wooden benches and cupboards.
There’s more: natural gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, 10,000-litre capacity water tanks and a Colorbond shed with concrete floor and power. The block is about 850 square metres.
