45 Church Street, Maldon

Set on a level 817 sqm allotment framed by a majestic Oak and Mulberry, Oak Tree Cottage is a modern country home that balances architectural clarity with the warmth of village life. Just seven years old, this three-bedroom residence achieves 6-star energy efficiency while celebrating space, light and landscape. From the street, the interplay of gabled and skillion rooflines, wide verandas, and established greenery creates an attractive and timeless first impression. Step inside and the design intent becomes clear-rooms positioned to capture light, views and cross-breezes, with a floorplan that feels both well developed and practical. At the front of the home, two serene bedrooms offer wide garden outlooks, while the main suite flows to a family bathroom designed with the feel of a private retreat-free-standing bath, walk-in shower, generous vanity and considered detailing. A second toilet and well-appointed laundry provide everyday ease. The heart of the home is a dramatic open-plan living and dining domain, where west-facing glass panels frame the ever-changing garden beyond. The kitchen features stone benchtops, bespoke cabinetry, Smeg appliances, and an island bench as social centrepiece. A vestibule door ensures separation, allowing the living space to unfold as its own experience. Outdoors, architecture and landscape meet flawlessly. A covered rear deck extends living into the garden, where curated plantings, raised vegetable beds and a boutique orchard encourage a slower pace. Under the canopy of the Oak tree, there is room to pause, reflect, and connect with nature. Additional features underscore the home's thoughtful execution: • Double glazing, Linea Sycon weatherboards • Reverse-cycle heating/cooling plus ceiling fans • Engineered timber floors in living areas, soft carpeting in bedrooms • Garden and potting sheds, plus gal shed/workshop with concrete floor • 1600L water tank for garden use • Side driveway with ample parking Positioned within walking distance of Maldon's vibrant cafés, shops, golf course and the trails of Mt Tarrangower, Oak Tree Cottage represents a rare opportunity-a contemporary home that honours both design and lifestyle at the heart of a historic township.
