Located in the highly sought-after Greenhill Ave precinct of Castlemaine, this three-bedroom home and self-contained studio on a generous 1118 sqm (approx) corner allotment offer heritage charm with modern comfort and convenience, set within a stunning landscaped garden. An asset to the property is the studio/guest house, providing versatile options for multi-generational living, a home office, or an Airbnb.
An east-facing verandah captures the morning sun filtering through the garden. A central hall leads to two front-facing bedrooms with built-in robes and decorative fireplaces, a third bedroom has a built-in robe and shelving, and windows capture the pretty side garden. At the rear of the home, the contemporary kitchen features European appliances, a Miele wall oven, a Neff gas cooktop and an Asko dishwasher. A stone benchtop is ideal for casual dining, and windows capture the private back garden and deck. Adjoining the kitchen, the living room features a solid wood heater, a split system and double doors that open onto the wrap-around Spotted Gum and Blackbutt deck, perfect for entertaining family and friends. Leading on from the living space is a dining room with exterior access to the front east-facing verandah. Completing the floorplan is an updated bathroom with a walk-in shower, vanity and a toilet. All windows and doors are double-glazed, except for the three front east-facing windows, which have been retro-fitted with Eco Glass (thermal component). The highly insulated home has electric panel heaters in all bedrooms and the bathroom, Luxaflex external blinds on the west deck, and the whole house and studio has a water filtration system that filters all water used on the property and the garden.
The Studio/ Guest house is insulated and has a partial concrete slab, a gas wall heater, double-glazed windows and doors and honeycomb blinds. The multifaceted space features entry into a kitchenette with a gas cooktop and sink and an open-plan living/ bedroom space with double doors opening onto a private courtyard shaded by a vine-covered pergola. A bathroom with laundry facilities provides a shower over the bath, a toilet and a basin, making it ideal for guests or an income-generating Airbnb space.
The garden is an idyllic and tranquil retreat, lovingly planted and designed by the current owners. Meandering pathways created from reclaimed bricks lead to quiet sitting areas, and the garden features an array of perennial, ornamental and native plantings shaded by deciduous and evergreen trees. Three water tanks supply irrigation for the garden and three sheds include a workshop with power. All sheds are lined and insulted. The expansive 1118 sqm (approx) grounds allow for subdivision potential (STCA) with access from Britton Street.
Situated within walking distance of the train station, the Mill Complex, Castlemaine's Botanical Gardens, cafes, restaurants, and cultural landmarks, this home offers the perfect balance of heritage charm and modern living in a vibrant community.
