Set back from the street and offering exceptional privacy, this spacious home on just over an acre (approx) blends the best of country living with town convenience. Located only six minutes from Castlemaine and within walking distance of Chewton's community amenities, including the Soldiers Memorial Oval, Goldfields walking tracks, the local community pool, primary school, and post office, this property delivers a lifestyle of space, comfort, and connection. For families seeking the Steiner community, the Castlemaine Steiner School and Kindergarten are just a 13-minute drive away.
Inside, the home is designed for generous family living. At its heart is a welcoming country-style kitchen, complete with a freestanding gas cooktop and oven, dishwasher, and walk-in pantry. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and second living area, which opens onto an impressive 54 sqm alfresco space, perfect for year-round entertaining. Slate flooring adds character, while the main living room boasts cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, timber-clad walls, and an open fireplace with a brick surround, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Accommodation includes five spacious bedrooms. The main bedroom features built-in robes and an ensuite with a shower, vanity, and separate toilet. Two further bedrooms offer walk-in robes, a fourth has built-in robes, and the fifth, located upstairs, makes an ideal teen retreat or private home office. A north-facing rumpus room with external access adds flexibility for family living. The second bathroom includes a shower over a clawfoot bath, vanity, and separate toilet, while the laundry provides direct outdoor access.
Comfort is assured with evaporative cooling, a split system, a gas heater, and solar hot water. Outside, the grounds are a true highlight: over an acre of space with a mix of native and deciduous ornamental trees, stone walling, and a circular driveway leading to a large garage and carport.
While the home offers incredible space and character, it does need a little love and restoration, making it the perfect opportunity to create a home that reflects your style and vision. This property offers a combination of space, privacy, and convenience, ideal for those looking to embrace a country lifestyle without sacrificing access to schools, community, and transport.
