This beautifully presented, double-fronted Victorian cottage seamlessly blends period charm with thoughtful 1930s updates and modern comforts, offering a move-in-ready home with endless potential. Set privately behind a blend of native and ornamental gardens with established trees, this character-filled residence on 1014 sqm (approx) promises lifestyle and opportunity in equal measure.
Behind the classic front verandah, two spacious front-facing bedrooms each feature built-in robes and period open fireplaces with timber surrounds. The heart of the home reveals a dining area with split system heating and cooling and a sunny living room showcasing period stained-glass windows and a gas wall heater.
At the rear, a north-facing kitchen overlooks the expansive private garden and features a freestanding gas cooktop and oven, a walk-in pantry, ample storage, and direct access to a covered patio ideal for year-round entertaining. An adjoining laundry has additional storage.
The spacious bathroom offers double basins, a shower, and a corner spa bath. Period features include pressed metal ceilings, polished timber floors, double-hung windows, and decorative stained glass, all of which preserve the home's heritage. Modern updates enhance comfort and sustainability, including an integrated solar system, ducted evaporative cooling, and ceiling fans.
The private backyard is an opportunity, featuring a flat, north-facing yard with mature plantings, two garden sheds, and off-street parking leading to a double carport. With scope to extend, renovate further, or subdivide (STCA), the property offers outstanding future potential.
Perfectly located within walking distance of Castlemaine North Primary School, the Secondary College, and the train station for easy access to Melbourne or Bendigo. Enjoy proximity to the Kaweka Wildflower Reserve, Castlemaine Botanical Gardens, Mount Alexander Golf Course, and local shops and amenities. This is a home to love now and grow with into the future.
