Description: A brick beauty with a retro soul, this three-to-four-bedroom retro home sits quietly on the edge of central Castlemaine on approx 3260 sqm, close enough to town to walk, yet far enough away to hear the birds. Period tiles in the entry foyer set the scene before you step down into a generous living room. A large bay window frames the garden and the surrounding landscape. A solid wood heater anchors the room, a split system keeps it comfortable year-round, and a bar with a mirrored glass wall leans fully into the era. The open-plan kitchen and dining flow naturally to a terrace overlooking the garden, the kind of space that becomes the beating heart of daily life. The kitchen wraps around you with a broad bench for casual dining, retro tiles, a gas cooktop, a wall oven, a pantry, and period-style cabinetry that honours the home's character. The outlook from the kitchen takes in the garden and the wider landscape beyond. The main bedroom includes a walk-in robe, while two further bedrooms each offer built-in storage. An updated bathroom features a walk-in shower, vanity, and toilet; a second main updated bathroom includes a bath, walk-in shower, vanity, and toilet. Tucked privately at the rear of the home, a second living space, or fourth bedroom, opens via sliding door to the patio and includes its own split system. Adjoining this is the laundry with a separate toilet and external access to a substantial 7m x 6m alfresco entertaining area. The opportunity to convert this flexible zone into a main bedroom suite with the laundry becoming an ensuite is an option (STCA). Outside, the large garden is ready to be lived in. Established gum trees, native plantings, fruit trees, a fenced veggie garden and a chook pen make this a place where kids run and kick a ball. The double garage (6m x 9m) is well-proportioned and big enough for the bikes, the tools, and a project or two. Sustainable credentials include a solar system, water tanks, and evaporative cooling, thoughtfully added to a home built to last. External blinds manage the sun without sacrificing the view. The Goldfields National Park is moments away, with mountain bike trails and walking tracks right on the doorstep. And with central Castlemaine just 1.5km from your front gate, this is a location that delivers both the quiet and the convenience with a retro touch.
