25 Edward Street, Hastings, Vic 3915

There is something wonderfully different about 25 Edward Street. Set behind a cottage style garden and a beautiful, treed archway entrance, this three-bedroom home carries a rich history. Originally a schoolhouse, it was relocated to this Hastings setting in the mid-1980s, bringing with it a collection of classic characteristics from its era and a warmth that simply cannot be replicated. Sitting proudly on 725 sqm (approx.), it is a home with soul - welcoming, established, and filled with the kind of charm that invites you to slow down and stay awhile.

Inside, the front living room immediately sets the scene, with plenty of room for both lounge and dining, complete with split-system air conditioning and an electric heater for year-round comfort, while a charming serving window creates an easy connection through to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is wonderfully well equipped, with a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, cooktop, rangehood, and an abundance of bench and cupboard space. Handy access leads through to the laundry, where even more storage awaits. Towards the rear, a second living room is bathed in natural light, with air conditioning and a panel heater for added comfort, and opens effortlessly to the covered outdoor area and gardens beyond, creating a beautiful spot for relaxed afternoons, morning coffee, or gatherings that spill naturally from inside to out.

All three bedrooms are generous in spirit, and each enjoys a built-in robe and ceiling fan, while the family bathroom serves them beautifully with a shower/bath setup, complemented by a separate toilet with its own vanity. There is a lovely sense of comfort throughout these private spaces, with the home's original character adding warmth and personality that newer homes often struggle to capture.

Outside is where this property truly comes alive. The front gardens are framed by the enchanting tree-lined archway, while the rear gardens offer colour, greenery, and plenty of room to enjoy the seasons, with three water tanks feeding the gardens. A substantial shed adds another wonderful aspect, cleverly divided into two distinct spaces - a studio at the rear complete with a cooling unit & separate heater, and a workshop at the front ready for projects and tinkering. A separate garden shed takes care of the gardening tools, while rear access adds another welcoming convenience. Solar panels with battery backup form an impressive 13kW system, and a heat pump services the hot water, bringing thoughtful modern touches to this character-filled home.

Positioned in the heart of Hastings, this is a property with a wonderful sense of history, heart, and belonging. With Hastings' shops, cafes, public transport, and foreshore all within easy reach, everyday life is wonderfully connected, while the established gardens and unmistakable character create a peaceful retreat to come home to. There are stories woven into this home, beautiful spaces to enjoy, and plenty of room for its next chapter to unfold.
