Nestled in a quiet peaceful neighbourhood on an expansive 4,477 sqm block (approx. just over an acre) in the heart of Castlemaine, this remarkable family home is a haven showcasing spectacular views of the townscape and Mount Franklin.
This unique property can be your private sanctuary or an exciting development opportunity. With street frontage on both Ray and Brown Streets, it offers significant subdivision potential (STCA), while still preserving privacy and views.
Lovingly maintained, the property features lush established gardens and excellent infrastructure, including a 4.4-kilowatt solar system, evaporative cooling, three split systems, and a solar-boosted hot water service. Thoughtful upgrades over the years ensure comfort and convenience throughout.
Inside, this substantial home is both inviting and functional, ideal for family living. Three distinct living areas, five bedrooms, and two bathrooms offer ample space, with scenic views from nearly every room. Kids will delight in the upstairs retreat with three bedrooms (two robed) and a bathroom, while the master bedroom with ensuite and study are situated on the main level. The large room adjacent to the garage is the perfect studio/playroom or professional business space easily accessed from Brown Street.
The solid timber kitchen is perfectly in tune with the home's character, featuring Miele appliances, a 900mm gas cooktop, a deep pantry, and ample bench space. The north facing living area running from the kitchen is a true delight. A perfect casual space that overlooks the rear courtyard with its stone retaining walls and outdoor seating area.
The outdoor spaces are perfect for entertaining on a grand scale, with extensive paved areas and secluded garden nooks for quiet relaxation. The grounds invite sustainable living with raised veggie beds, greenhouse and mature shade trees. There's even potential for adding a pool or tennis court.
Additional features include a large carport (big enough for a motor home), double garage with loft storage, large workshop/shed with power and concrete floor plus a garden shed.
Conveniently located, this special property offers easy access to schools, the train station, and Castlemaine's town centre. Opportunities like 12-14 Ray Street are rare, so act quickly to make this outstanding property yours.
