Edwardian Grace with Art Nouveau Style
White standard roses line the front of this Edwardian home. Light moves softly through the rooms, and the garden is always close at the windows. There is room to gather and room to be alone. Mornings begin slowly on the verandah, and evenings stretch out on the deck. It is a home that welcomes you in, and one that is easy to stay in. Chewton is its village, and Castlemaine is only minutes away.
A wide central hallway carries you through, framed by a decorative arch with ornate corbels. Pine flooring runs underfoot, and the high ceilings, deep cornices, and ceiling roses have been preserved. Art Nouveau leadlight glows in the front door and beside it, its tulip motif repeated in the glass. Period casement and double-hung windows bring in light and garden views from every room, some topped with panes of rose-toned glass. Ducted heating keeps the home warm in the cooler seasons.
The north-west living room is the heart of the house. It has a leadlight door to the verandah and a split system for easy comfort. A decorative arch leads on to a second sitting room. It is long and bright, with room for shelves and a reading chair, and double doors open to the rear deck.
The open plan kitchen and dining room is generous in size. Timber benchtops and open shelving sit against white subway tiles, with a 900mm gas cooktop, an undermount oven and a dishwasher. A solid wood heater anchors the dining area for winter evenings. A large window frames the garden, and double doors open to the deck, so a meal can move outdoors. The Euro laundry keeps the daily work tucked away.
There are three spacious bedrooms. Two face the front, and two are carpeted. The first bedroom has a split system. The bathroom has a double basin vanity with a timber top, a bath and a separate shower. Another leadlight window glows above it.
The wrap-around verandah follows the house, with the rear deck and brick-paved sitting area adding places to gather. Lawn spreads across the 1425sqm (approx.) corner allotment, shaded by ornamental trees. A garage and water tank complete the practical side. The driveway enters from Sinnett Street.
Chewton is a country village, and it lives like one. The post office is part of the daily rhythm, the community pool is close by, and Chewton Primary School is 450 metres away. Walking tracks lead out from the edge of town, and Golden Point Reserve is nearby, a reminder that the goldfields shaped this place. A morning walk is easy to fit in, with the dog, the children or a thermos of tea. Castlemaine is about eight minutes away for shopping, the V/Line train station and more places to eat, so you have the village on your doorstep and the town conveniently nearby.
This Edwardian home has kept its character and gained every comfort, with the garden close at every window.
