51 Main Street

Once owned by a local hardware store owner, the home retains its original shopfront, now beautifully refreshed with timber-look flooring, fresh paint and split system heating and cooling. Whether you picture a home office, creative studio, consulting space, retail opportunity, private retreat or even an additional bedroom, it’s a wonderfully versatile area that can adapt to suit your needs. Inside, the character continues with impressive 10-foot ceilings, ornate cornices and decorative timber fretwork providing a lovely reminder of the home’s heritage.

Three bedrooms include built-in robes, while the flexible floorplan offers the potential for a fourth bedroom if required. Two separate living zones provide plenty of room to spread out, with a charming front sitting room offering a comfortable place to unwind, complemented by a separate family and meals area for relaxed everyday living. At the centre of the home, the updated kitchen brings a practical modern touch with excellent storage, overhead and underbench cabinetry, pantry, near-new cooker, generous fridge space and a handy island bench.

Year-round comfort is well catered for with ducted gas heating, combustion heating, evaporative cooling and a recently installed split system, giving you plenty of options through Chiltern’s changing seasons. Outside, a private paved courtyard provides a sunny and sheltered spot for morning coffee, weekend barbecues or simply enjoying some quiet time outdoors. A single garage, two garden sheds, dedicated wood storage and a fernery add further practicality.

Set on Main Street within easy reach of Chiltern’s shops, cafés and everyday amenities, the location is every bit as appealing as the home itself. Easy freeway access also keeps Albury-Wodonga and Wangaratta within convenient reach. For buyers looking beyond simply moving in, the property may also offer scope to explore further development, including extending the existing residence, adding a unit or creating short-stay accommodation, subject to council approval.

Full of character, wonderfully versatile and positioned right where you can enjoy the charm of Chiltern township, this is a property with plenty of history behind it — and plenty of opportunity still ahead. https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/buying-and-selling-property/checklists/due-diligence
