Garden Living
Set back from the street behind a fully fenced front garden, this rendered brick home sits in a garden that has had years to settle. Clipped rosemary, smoke bush and echiums grow beneath established gums and deciduous trees. A bitumen driveway curves through it to the front verandah, with a step up beneath a vine-covered pergola. The front yard faces north, and the light stays in it all day.
Inside, the kitchen, dining and living areas share one open room, and the garden is in view from nearly every corner. Sliding doors open north to the front verandah and south to the alfresco deck. Built-in timber shelving and cabinetry run along one wall of the living area, where a gas wood heater sits on a slate hearth. A gas wall heater warms the dining space. Ducted evaporative cooling keeps the house comfortable in summer. Carpet softens the living and dining areas.
The kitchen is a bright galley with timber flooring underfoot. It has a freestanding gas cooktop with oven, a dishwasher and a pantry. A bar-style bench looks across to the dining table. Beyond the kitchen, the laundry opens to the outside.
A second living space with a study nook sits just off the hall. A wide window brings in light and leafy outlooks, so it works as an office, a reading room or a place for hobbies. The main bedroom faces the front of the property, with windows on two sides looking onto the verandah and garden. It has a built-in robe and private access to the bathroom, which has a shower, vanity and toilet. The second bedroom has a built-in robe and a window onto the second vine-covered pergola patio. It also has its own door to the outside.
Outdoors, the alfresco deck suits long lunches, and the patio beneath the pergola gives you another place to sit. The back garden is private and fully fenced. A garage stands in the back garden with a solid wood heater inside, which makes it a comfortable place to work or potter in winter. The carport gives covered parking at the house, and a water tank services the garden.
The home sits approx. 1.9 km from central Castlemaine. Schools and transport are close, with the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens and The Mill precinct an easy walk, as is the stroll into town.
