This is a Castlemaine street where school, town and the creek are all reached on foot. The four bedroom home on approximately 669sqm is a short walk to Winter's Flat Primary School, the Castlemaine retail precinct and the train station, with services to Melbourne and Bendigo. Central Castlemaine is 1.5km away. Walking tracks lead to Campbells Creek.
Inside, the living room is entered from the front verandah. The kitchen and dining area sit at the centre of the home, and this is where the days settle. The kitchen has a freestanding gas cooktop with oven and a dishwasher. A wrap-around bench allows for casual meals. Sliding doors open from the dining area to the alfresco, a north-facing space of 9.3m x 3m.
The main bedroom is front-facing and has a split system and built-in robes. Three further bedrooms include one with a split system. The bathroom has a shower, bath and vanity, with a separate toilet. An outside bath sits near the rear door. Ducted heating runs through the home, with wall air conditioners in the kitchen and living room.
The outdoor space is where this property earns its place. The garage and workshop measure 7.5m x 9m, around 68sqm under one roof. It takes vehicles, and it gives a tradesperson, hobbyist or restorer a proper space to work, with the room to leave a project set up between weekends. Alongside it, the 7.7m x 5.2m carport covers a further vehicle, a trailer or a caravan.
Walk to school, take the train to Melbourne or Bendigo, and be in central Castlemaine in minutes. Come home to a fully fenced block, a covered alfresco and a workshop that is ready to use. It is a practical home in a well placed street.
