WOODEND 95 Washington Lane $650,000 Private sale Agent RT Edgar, 5427 1222 Vic Roads 290 C12 or 60 A7 IN THE aftermath of the 19th-century gold rush, Woodend was transformed into a peaceful resort town. Guesthouses, hotels, private gardens, a racecourse and a golf club were established and set the tone for the modern postcode, 3442. Now, the historic streetscape is a perfect backdrop for businesses such as antique stores, galleries, weekend markets and day spas. Kennrobin House is a short walk from the village but a large, leafy garden ensures great privacy. Upstairs, all three bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes. The country kitchen joins a casual meals area and has timber benchtops, stainless steel appliances and a pantry. It has two bathrooms. A wide veranda wraps half the house and would be fantastic for outdoor dining. It is less than an hour's drive to Melbourne via the Calder Highway and V/Line trains also run to the city for the daily commute.
