A Home that Keeps Unfolding
A north-facing front garden sits behind a timber fence, fully fenced and private from the street. Beyond it is a weatherboard three-bedroom home in soft green, with a red brick chimney and the easy proportions of the 1940s. It has been updated with care. It feels contemporary, and it still belongs to its era.
Step inside and the palette is gentle. Muted blues, pale greens, and warm whites run through the home, set against original cornices and timber-framed windows that let the garden in. The north-facing lounge is generous, with room for dining at one end. A solid wood heater sits within a textured brick surround, and timber cladding lines the walls. It is a room made for winter evenings and long, slow Sunday mornings.
The kitchen sits alongside. Stone benchtops, a butler's style sink and a freestanding gas cooktop with oven give it a warm, honest character. A tiled splashback and louvre window add a touch of mid-century charm. A timber-topped bench allows for casual dining, and a dishwasher takes care of the rest.
Three bedrooms, all with carpet underfoot. The main bedroom has timber cladding on the walls and built in robes. The second bedroom faces the front and fills with morning light. The third is also clad in timber and looks out over the alfresco and garden. The updated bathroom is light and contemporary, with a walk in shower behind reeded glass, a deep bath and a vanity. The laundry has been updated and includes a second toilet. At the rear, a sunroom and boot room make the everyday coming and going easy.
Then the back garden opens up, and it is a very pleasant surprise. It is quiet and private. A covered alfresco looks over a lawn edged with established planting, with area views south to bushland. A grapevine arches over a gate to the chicken pen, and a fig tree grows beside the studio. The studio, with its French doors and sink, sits beside a workshop and shed, ready for creative work, projects or guests.
At the heart of it all is the in-ground pool. It sits just off the alfresco, within its own sheltered courtyard of pale stone paving, a timber screen and a soft green fence. A built-in timber seat doubles as storage, and there is room for a few loungers and an umbrella. It is a place for early swims on summer mornings, long afternoons with the sun overhead and quiet evenings when the garden settles. Step from the deck, cross the courtyard, and you are in the water.
Ducted heating and ducted evaporative cooling keep the home comfortable through every season, and a water tank looks after the garden.
The block is 728sqm (approx.). Duke Street places you within a walk of Castlemaine's centre. Castlemaine Primary School is close by, and on Saturday mornings the Wesley Hill Market is nearby for coffee and a wander. Sporting facilities are within easy reach, and the Leanganook Track is a short stroll from the gate. This is a home that rewards a second look, and a third.
