"Glen Airlie" is a character filled 1897 Victorian cottage a 3 minute drive to Castlemaine's vibrant and diverse shopping precinct and all amenities. This original Castlemaine cottage was relocated to this site in the late 1990's so roofing, stumping, wiring, plumbing, insulation and chimney were replaced to comply with modern building standards, but retaining Victorian decorative features including original timber panelled doors, brass door fittings, sash windows, high ceilings, with deep cornices and ceiling roses. The sitting room is bright and sunny with large north facing double sash windows. Traditional features include dado panelling, feature glass door and an open fireplace with marble surrounds. High ceilings keep the home cooler in summer, whilst the improved insulation retains warmth in colder days. Heating options include gas ducted heating, open fireplace in the sitting room, and reverse cycle air conditioning in the dining/family room. 3 good sized bedrooms (one currently used as a home office space) all have floor to ceiling BIR's and generous overhead storage. Towards the rear of the home, utility spaces include a bright sunny bathroom with separate shower and bath, toilet and storage. A convenient second toilet, is located next to the laundry. The hallway leading to the kitchen has two storage/linen cupboards. The spacious kitchen has features which will appeal to enthusiastic cooks. The under-bench storage, has been thoughtfully designed so that all your kitchen accessories and appliances can be accessed easily. Granite topped bench surfaces and quality European appliances include twin Franke sinks, a duel fuel Ilve Nostalgie stove with triple glazed oven, and Ilve overhead extractor fan which is vented to the outdoors. A compact Miele dishwasher and pantry completes the focus on functionality. The adjoining dining/family room has direct access via French doors to the undercover full-length balcony for al fresco dining with an opportunity to enlarge the living space under the current roofline. A picket-fenced cottage garden faces the tree-lined street frontage. The generous driveway leads to the carport, which provides undercover access to the home via a side entrance. The long driveway allows for additional 3 tandem off-street parking spaces. Adjoined at the rear to crown land assures privacy and natural amenity of Campbells Creek, providing this home with the best of both worlds - living with nature, an abundance of bird life and nesting platypus in season, yet conveniently located in a vibrant community. Walking and cycling tracks easily accessed. The block is generous at 791sq metres, pleasingly landscaped with stone and brick feature garden beds. The zoned and terraced levels make this established garden easy to maintain. A garden shed with power connected is conveniently located beside the carport.
