Description: Positioned in one of Castlemaine's most tightly held and convenient locations, Reubenhill offers a wonderful opportunity to secure a character home just a short stroll to cafés, shops, schools and the train station. Set on a level allotment of approximately 585m² (approx.), the property provides valuable side driveway access to the rear yard, along with a double carport, ensuring excellent off-street parking in this central setting. With origins dating back to 1853, the original double brick cottage has been thoughtfully extended over time, evolving from a simple two-room dwelling into a substantial and inviting home that balances heritage character with modern comfort. A lacework verandah welcomes you inside, where a long, arched hallway introduces the home's period elegance. Four bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, including a main bedroom at the front, two additional rooms and a fourth bedroom with doors opening to a private courtyard. Multiple living spaces include a formal sitting room with cove ceilings and a relaxed lounge with doors opening to the garden. The cottage kitchen features timber cabinetry, timber benchtops and open shelving, flowing through to a dining area with French doors that connect seamlessly to the outdoor courtyard. A recently updated bathroom, separate powder room and European laundry provide everyday functionality. Original features are a highlight throughout, including soaring 12-foot ceilings, deep decorative cornices and ceiling roses, leadlight details and four open fireplaces with ornate mantels. To the rear, a north-facing garden creates a sunny and private outdoor setting, with a paved entertaining area, established trees and shrubs, edged garden beds and external awnings enhancing year-round enjoyment. A fully lined workshop with power and office space adds further flexibility. Securely set behind a heritage-style wire fence, Reubenhill is a rare offering that combines history, charm and an unbeatable in-town lifestyle.
