North Street sits at the quiet edge of Castlemaine's established residential grid, where the suburb gives way to open space, and the pace noticeably slows. The golf course is a short walk in one direction; the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park, with its mountain bike trails and walking tracks, is close in another. Castlemaine Secondary College is at the end of the street. Four minutes to town.
Set on 841sqm (approx), this four-bedroom period home has been substantially extended and updated over time, delivering a layout that works well for families or anyone wanting genuine separation between living and sleeping zones. The heart of the home is a large north-facing open-plan space anchored by polished hardwood floors, a wall of windows overlooking the rear garden, and double doors that open to a covered alfresco deck spanning 9.7 x 3.9m. Built-in shelving, a desk, and a solid wood heater sit within the living zone, alongside a split system for year-round comfort. The kitchen sits within this space with an island bench, induction cooktop, undermount oven, dishwasher, pantry, and ample storage.
A separate theatre room with a split system provides a second retreat, with the option to use the adjacent space as a home office or study.
The main bedroom is generous with an ensuite, a walk-in robe and a split system. The second bedroom faces the front of the house with characteristic double-hung corner windows and built-in robes. Two further bedrooms also include built-in robes. The main bathroom offers a bath, shower, and vanity, with a separate toilet. The laundry has external access.
Beyond the house, a double carport leads through to a substantial double garage (5.8 x 5.7m) fitted with a solid wood heater and currently configured as a home office. The rear garden is private, with established plantings of native and ornamental species. Additional inclusions: evaporative cooling and solar hot water.
A home with genuine scale, a quiet position, and more than enough room to settle in for the long term.
