HISTORY and potential meld perfectly at this Castlemaine address, just a short walk to the Railway Station, Botanical Gardens and the centre of town.
It’s a great location, whether you’re looking for a tree-change from the big smoke, an investment in this vibrant and growing town, or maybe looking to step into tourist accommodation.
The unique L-shaped allotment means there are two street frontages, which adds to the site’s potential for subdivision or development (STCA).
There are some wonderful historic features intact, such as the arched hallway with sculpted Queen Victoria corbels, original fireplaces, four-panel doors and coloured glazing by the front door.
The street presence is outstanding too, with its original lacework verandah, deep bay window, and central chimney.
Two of the three bedrooms have built-in storage and two have original fireplaces
The three-pane bay window is the star of the formal lounge room, which also features a carved timber fire surround (now with gas heating), and built-in shelving.
The bathroom could do with an update but there’s so much to love about the house, including the open-plan kitchen and dining area with french doors opening to a private deck protected from the weather.
Outside the potential continues, with a paved patio, a 4 x 7-metre steel shed/workshop, deciduous trees for summer shade, and plenty of space to consider an extension (STCA).
Castlemaine is in all its autumn glory – so inspect this weekend.
