Maldon 28 Franklin Street
CABBAGE TREE COTTAGE – A MID-CENTURY MARVEL AMONGST A GARDENER'S PARADISE
Occupying a large level site of 2,525m2 (0.62 Acre) with a beautiful northern exposure, this divine garden was designed to showcase a wide range of Alister Clark roses that are supported by many beautiful Iron Arbours, Obelisks and pillars created by prominent local fabricator, Neil Tait of Castlemaine. Bringing a variety of colours and textures to the garden, and bordered by Portuguese Laurels, internal pathways, fruit trees and a signature 'Moon Gate' sculpture, the garden is a real delight and haven for birdlife. A wi-fi controlled watering system with access to town and 45,000 litres of tank water supports the garden. The 1950s Timber home has been thoroughly renovated yet retains its original charm with polished timber floors, Tapestry
fireplace and double hung picture windows. The living space comprises 3 bedrooms, a central hallway with original glass entry door, formal lounge room with fireplace/wood heater and
reverse cycle air, a modern kitchen with east facing French doors to a morning breakfast
balcony. The home has a main bathroom and a laundry with second toilet and a bath, a north facing sun-room with wide views of the garden and glassed doors that open to a sunny, north rear verandah-balcony, and floor insulation has been installed. The property has a picket fence entry with a wide Street frontage, 2 driveways, and a superbly designed and built barn-style garage-studio (12mx7.4m) which features space for 4 cars, work bench, power, internet, and large windows for light and views of the gardens – making this a perfect space for creative people. A garden lifestyle with views and nearby village conveniences awaits!
