Overview

Edwardian Elegance on Bowden Street A red-brick Edwardian on the hill, updated for modern living without losing its period soul.

This solid brick Edwardian home on 828 sqm (approx) has views over the surrounding landscape and a rear garden that catches the afternoon sun. Tuck-pointed brickwork and a box bay window give the facade its classic Edwardian proportions. Step through the front door with ruby-etched sidelights, Baltic pine floors, tall ceilings, and an arched central hallway, and you are through to the heart of the home. The formal living room sits off the central hallway, its fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, a quiet spot for reading through the cooler months. From here, the home opens through to a dining room and a galley-style kitchen with dark stone benchtops, a freestanding gas cooktop, a dishwasher and a walk-in pantry, all light-filled and looking out to the garden through timber shutters. The pantry, tucked into what was likely part of the original stone building, has a coved ceiling and generous storage. Glass doors off the kitchen open onto a rear deck, an easy spot to sit with a coffee or a glass of wine while the view opens out toward the hills. Two bedrooms face the street. The main bedroom has built-in robes on both sides, a box bay window, a second north-facing window and an open fireplace with an ornate period surround. Alongside it, a second bedroom also retains its original fireplace and period detailing. A third bedroom opens off the hallway. Pressed metal ceilings, ceiling roses, double-hung windows and timber shutters run throughout, evidence of a home that has been cared for rather than simply renovated. The bathroom, combined with the laundry, has a full-sized bath, a separate glass-screened shower, subway tiling and a separate toilet with basin, all finished with period-appropriate detailing. Ducted heating serves the home, with a split system in the dining area for year-round comfort. Beneath the deck, a stone and brick cellar with a flagstone floor keeps its original cool-store shelving intact, a useful piece of the home's history. There is also a full under-deck storage area. Outside, the fully fenced 828sqm (approximately) garden has been shaped with a gardener's eye: flowering blossom trees, euphorbia, palms and pencil pines frame a garden that changes through the seasons. A garage sits alongside a separate shed, a chook run and a classic Hills Hoist, offering room for a workshop, studio or simply extra storage. A charming outdoor toilet and an outdoor sink near the deck complete a garden built for entertaining as much as everyday life. At the front, a sunny verandah with terracotta tiles is the kind of spot you'll find yourself drawn to, morning after morning. Positioned an easy walk from central Castlemaine, 1 Bowden Street puts you close to schools, shops and cafes, with the train service to Melbourne and Bendigo nearby for those who need to venture further. It's a chance to secure a genuine period home, thoughtfully updated, on one of Castlemaine's better-elevated blocks.
