Set on a generous 1026sqm (approx) corner block in Chewton, this beautifully maintained three-bedroom period home is a classic find. Surrounded by a pretty and established garden and framed by mature trees, it offers a peaceful lifestyle just minutes from Chewton, Castlemaine, and the Goldfields Track.
From the moment you step onto the elevated front porch, the home's timeless Art Deco character is on full display. Inside, original period features abound, high decorative ceilings, original period floorboards hidden beneath the carpet, wide timber skirting boards, and large sash windows. The wide central hallway welcomes you with French frosted glass doors that open into a spacious lounge/ dining, complete with a period fireplace.
The adjoining dining room features a tapestry brick fireplace with an inset gas heater, while a split system ensures year-round comfort. The heart of the home is the renovated kitchen, where a freestanding gas cooker, dishwasher, and breakfast bar meet a charming Nectre solid fuel heater set into a period surround. A second living area flows from here, offering flexibility for families or those working from home, while a third bedroom or study adds further versatility.
Two generously sized bedrooms, both with built-in robes, are serviced by a stylishly updated family bathroom. A separate laundry completes the practical layout.
Step outside to a wisteria-covered pergola that provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining or quiet reflection, overlooking a lovingly tended garden with gravel paths, fruit trees, vegetable beds, and sitting areas. There are also sheds, two water tanks, and a garage.
This home is an easy stroll to the Chewton Pool, local primary school, and bushwalking trails that wind through the historic Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park. The vibrant community spirit, weekend markets, and proximity to Castlemaine's cafes and train station make this a truly special place to call home.
Whether you're seeking a character-filled residence, a tree change, or a garden retreat, this property offers it all.
