Last Listing description (September 2024)

Discover the allure of history in this captivating residence, a true gem nestled in the heart of Castlemaine. The streets echo with the golden tales of yesteryears, adorned with period homes that have witnessed the town's rich legacy.

This new listing, a testament to the grandeur of the 1890s, was built for the affluent local entrepreneur and businessman, George Clarke. As such, the upmost attention was paid to decorative and unique finishes, some of which restoration experts have seen and admired here for the very first time. Consider detailed and varied lead lighting, pressed metal and timber lined ceilings and ornate fireplaces, to name a few.

Three bedrooms, a cosy sitting room with neighbourhood views and a sunlit rear nook promise comfort. The home stands rejuvenated having been restumped and with a re-decked front verandah. Split system heating and cooling ensure easy year-round comfort.

The current vendors fell in love with the property, as will you, and have invested significantly in preserving its features. Window and light furnishings have been purchased from Schots and the colour palate is warm and sensitive to the home's heritage. The Baltic pine floors have been polished and woollen carpets have been laid.

In hues of creams and yellow, the eat in style kitchen, renovated by renowned Victorian Restorations, feels like a warm hug, with it retained open fireplace and timber cabinetry. Bosch appliances, a walk-in pantry and a skylight are excellent features to note. The updated bathroom further exudes charm, boasting a claw foot bath and decorative period-style tiles.

Outside, there is undercover area with a fernery for happy entertaining. Otherwise, the 753 sqm allotment has been beautifully landscaped with now mature natives. Fully irrigated, it is ready for you to sit up on the verandah and simply enjoy.

A long side driveway leading to the rear weatherboard shed provides ample off-street parking and one could certainly value add by incorporating a studio space. Perhaps you might consider a second story here to capitalise on the views, all of course subject to council approval.

To add to the romance and charm, there is a biannual billy cart race held in this very street! Otherwise, stroll into town, with every amenity at your fingertips, and immerse yourself in this vibrant and friendly community.
