Description: Set on a generous corner allotment of 4436sqm (just over an acre), this beautifully presented double-glazed brick home offers a combination of space, style, and considered country living, all within a short drive from the heart of Castlemaine. From the moment you arrive, the property makes an impression. Brick and sleeper retaining walls frame a landscaped garden that wraps the home with maturity and considered placement for privacy, magnolia trees, upright cypress, and ornamental pears, lending a timeless formality to the grounds. A bitumen driveway, manicured lawns, and a front paddock (ideal for a horse, a future pool (STCA), tennis court (STCA) or extended garden) complete a setting that feels both working and refined. At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zone that flows generously north, light, warm, and endlessly welcoming. The dining space is genuinely impressive: a high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a sweep of large windows framing the garden beyond. The kitchen anchors this space with a large island bench perfect for casual dining and easy conversation, stone benchtops, a 900mm black Smeg freestanding gas cooktop and oven, dishwasher, and a substantial walk-in pantry with ample bench space to house the fridge and appliances out of sight. Throughout, warm blue cabinetry offset by tan leather handles brings a quiet personality to every room. Two living areas flank the kitchen and dining, one featuring a solid wood heater and a beautiful feature brick wall; the other a more private retreat with a split system air conditioner and double doors opening to the first of two alfresco areas. A wraparound deck connects both outdoor spaces, creating an entertaining flow that suits every season and occasion. The main bedroom is a genuine sanctuary. Twin walk-in robes, an ensuite featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, double basin wall-hung vanity, and private toilet, with double doors opening to the second alfresco area for quiet morning coffee or evening air. Two additional bedrooms feature built-in robes and are serviced by a well-appointed second bathroom with shower, bath, toilet, and vanity. A Euro laundry completes the internal offering with characteristic efficiency. A large 9m x 6m shed with its own solid wood heater offers serious utility potential: storage, workshop, or simply extra breathing room. A chook pen, water tanks dedicated to the garden, and ducted evaporative cooling throughout ensure life here is comfortable year-round. The garage provides convenient external access directly to the deck. Sitting beautifully between the Castlemaine services and the Calder Freeway corridor, the location offers easy access to excellent schools, a train service connecting Melbourne and Bendigo, retail, and all the amenities of a thriving regional town. Properties like this are genuinely hard to come by, a home that has been loved, maintained, and thought through at every turn, on a landholding that offers real freedom.
