Perfectly positioned on a picturesque 418 sqm approx. corner allotment, this beautifully renovated 1901 cottage offers an enviable lifestyle just moments from the heart of Castlemaine. Stroll to cafés, restaurants, the train station, The Mill precinct and the Botanical Gardens, while enjoying the peace and privacy of a home surrounded by established gardens and mature trees.
A traditional verandah welcomes you inside, where the home's rich history is immediately evident. The inviting sitting room is centred around a magnificent open fireplace with an ornate timber overmantel, creating a warm and elegant space to relax. Throughout the home, original Baltic pine floors, timber-lined ceilings, decorative wallpaper, timber dado panelling and carefully restored period details blend effortlessly with tasteful contemporary updates.
The eat-in kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated to honour the home's heritage while embracing modern living. Timber benchtops, a farmhouse butler's sink, induction cooktop, pressed metal detailing and bespoke cabinetry create a beautiful and functional gathering space filled with natural light.
Two bedrooms continue the home's timeless appeal, while the stunning bathroom offers a luxurious retreat with a clawfoot bath, walk-in shower, brass tapware and pedestal basin. A separate toilet and generous laundry with additional room for storage provide everyday practicality. Modern comforts include two split-system heating and cooling units, ceiling and partial wall insulation, gas hot water and the reassurance of recent restumping.
Outside, the enchanting gardens are every bit as captivating as the home itself. Winding gravel pathways weave through established plantings beneath magnificent oak and Liquid Amber trees, creating a peaceful setting that changes beautifully with the seasons. The corner allotment provides excellent accessibility, with side access to a single carport and a charming garden shed.
Offering warmth, authenticity and one of Castlemaine's most walkable locations, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully presented period home where heritage character and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony.
