Last Listing description (May 2024)

120 Farnsworth Street represents a charming piece of Castlemaine's old gold history and oozes 'home sweet home' vibes. The miner's cottage has happily whiled away the last century, watching Castlemaine's evolution into a vibrant and strong community. It now sits waiting for its next chapter; a quaint family home, a solid investment or revitalise and extend for 2020s living (STCA).

The double fronted facade has plenty of charm thanks to the sweet picket fence, traditional front verandah, and exposed brick chimneys rising above. The home is perfectly positioned at the front of its 395 sqm block, creating fantastic extension potential or ample room at the rear for an undercover alfresco and new shed (STCA).

Inside, the traditional, cosy design enters into a sitting room with the first of three bedrooms to the left. There is a central living and dining room and a separate country style kitchen showcasing the original woodfire stove. There is also an upright gas stove for all your cooking needs.

The bathroom is neat and tidy with a shower over the bath, vanity and separate, adjoining toilet.

You will notice the carpets, polished Baltic pine floorboards, split system heating and cooling and a fresh white colour scheme, deeming the property ready to move straight into.
Thankfully many heritage features have been retained, amongst these the ornate fire place with a wood heater, vaulted ceilings and dormer and sash windows.

The address makes this a great choice for lifestyle and investment; Farnsworth Street shares the neighbourhood with the Botanical Gardens and The Mill markets, the Railway and Bridge Hotels and the train station.

Outside, the fully landscaped, level and secure yard with new Colourbond fencing on three sides is awaiting your backyard cricket. Enjoy this space with a glass of vino overlooking the view to Mt Alexander.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to create something truly special in this highly sought-after location.
