Quietly positioned just off Wheeler Street, this beautifully private home offers an easy, low maintenance lifestyle within an easy walk of Castlemaine's town centre. With shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries and the everyday conveniences of town around 800 metres away, there is little need to get in the car.
Single level and thoughtfully arranged, the home provides three well proportioned bedrooms with built in robes, including a generous main bedroom with its own ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom with a separate toilet, while a dedicated laundry and excellent storage add to the practical floorplan.
At the heart of the home is a light filled open plan living and dining area, offering a generous space to relax and gather with family and friends. The large, well appointed kitchen, with AEG cooktop and pyrolytic oven, provides plenty of bench space and storage, with garden outlooks adding a lovely connection to the established surrounds. Ducted gas heating keeps the home warm through winter, while reverse cycle heating and cooling provides comfort throughout the warmer months. A new heat pump hot water service ensure ample affordable hot water all year.
Outside, the property becomes a private garden sanctuary. Established native gardens have been thoughtfully planted to encourage birdlife, creating a peaceful backdrop of greenery, birdsong and seasonal colour. Raised vegetable beds add a productive element for those who enjoy growing their own produce.
A particularly appealing feature is the decked courtyard - a private, sheltered space designed for outdoor dining, morning coffee or long afternoons with friends. Surrounded by the gardens, it feels like an extension of the home and provides a wonderful connection to the outdoors without the upkeep of a large garden.
The double garage, with direct internal access, completes a home where practicality has been carefully balanced with a genuine sense of privacy and calm.
Best of all, the location puts Castlemaine within easy reach on foot. Head into town for a coffee, wander through the historic streets, pick up provisions from the local shops or continue further to explore the town's parks, gardens and walking trails. It is a wonderfully convenient position, yet once home, the leafy gardens and abundant birdlife make the property feel a world away.
