You’d be hard-pressed to find many offerings like it on the Echuca market.
Because it’s one of those houses that catches you off-guard in the best possible way, surprising and delighting you around every corner.
From its elegant period façade (complete with rose garden and winding brick-lined path) and early-20th century bedrooms to the spacious open-plan kitchen-living-dining that would easily fit in any modern home – it’s an eclectic blend of old and new.
And it works, coalescing into a house that has both character and class, smack-bang in the heart of Echuca.
Above all, it has “home” written all over it.
Built in the early 1900s, the charming clapboard front is a perfect prelude to what’s to come.
Step through the front door and you’ll enter an airy, high-ceilinged hall with gleaming timber floors and three bedrooms branching off it.
Each bedroom is spacious with the same lofty ceilings, white walls and accents of dark timber. Plus plenty of light flooding in through wide double-hung windows.
Further down to the right, there’s a stylish bathroom complete with a bath and shower.
Continue down the hall and you’ll hit the master bedroom on the left – a massive space featuring a wood fire for those chilly Victorian winter nights.
And on the right, another smaller room – also with a fireplace – and shelving lining one wall.
This versatile space could be a fifth bedroom, a second living space, or the perfect nook to hide away with a book and a cuppa.
While there are no built-in wardrobes in these rooms, there’s ample storage throughout the house, as well as plenty of space for furniture.
Hit the end of the hall and you’ll step into a different time.
The open-plan kitchen-living-dining at the back of the house is pristine.
The light-filled kitchen is equipped with classic timber benchtops, tying together the old and the new of the house.
Plus there’s a gas cooktop, dishwasher and ample storage space.
While the back wall, lined with glass windows looking out to the lush backyard, ensures the entire space is bright and airy.
And tucked away to the right of this space there’s a toilet, laundry and even more storage.
Step into the backyard and you’ll be instantly struck by the amount of space – ideal for the kids, a dog or a gardener’s delight.
There’s also a garage complete with a concrete floor, power and convenient rear access via a neighbouring laneway at the rear of the property – perfect for caravan or boat storage.
Set on a 919 square-metre allotment, 2 Tyler St, Echuca is a one-of-a-kind property.
And with an enviable location right in the town centre, it won’t be long before this local gem runs out the door.
