Nestled in a peaceful street just a short stroll from the heart of Castlemaine, this double-fronted solid brick Victorian cottage offers a captivating blend of classic period detail and comfortable, country-style living.
From the moment you step onto the front verandah, complete with lacework detailing and traditional brickwork, the home reveals its rich heritage. Inside, timber-lined ceilings, original fireplaces, timber floors, and sash windows evoke the charm of the era.
The welcoming north-facing living and dining room is filled with natural light and period personality, anchored by a striking fireplace with a tiled surround and a timber mantle. Double doors from the dining area lead to a side garden, creating a charming indoor-outdoor flow. Comfort is assured year-round with wall heaters and split systems throughout the home. A quiet sitting room or home office with an open fireplace framed by a timber surround is flanked by two beautifully proportioned windows.
The kitchen continues the period story, with timber benchtops, a freestanding gas cooker, and a wonderfully preserved brick fireplace as a central feature. An adjoining space serves as either a walk-in pantry or a cosy dining nook, depending on your lifestyle needs.
Three bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned, including one privately located at the rear of the home. A central rumpus room with external access provides flexibility - ideal as a second living zone, guest retreat, or creative space. The bathroom includes a shower and pedestal basin, while the laundry, with brick flooring, opens to the side garden. The fully fenced backyard offers space to establish a cottage garden, studio, or outdoor entertaining area.
Rich in original features and thoughtfully updated for modern comfort, this delightful home is an opportunity to enjoy the best of Castlemaine's historic charm in a quiet, walkable location close to shops, cafés and transport.
