119 Gingell Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

Situated on the pretty tree-lined Gingell Street, set back with a park-like entrance with established Manchurian pears, this two-storey contemporary three-bedroom home has a New York loft-style feel in the heart of Castlemaine. Ideally located, the property is within walking distance of all this vibrant and artistic town has to offer, including retail and restaurants of Castlemaine, the Mill Complex, the Botanic Gardens, schools and the train station, making a perfect home base or weekend retreat.

Naturalistic minimalist styling creates a gallery-like feel with an urban edge, designed to capture a north focus to help create a light and bright interior with an emphasis on the juxtaposed ceiling angles, and the clean white interior softened by the timber floorboards helps create the modern vibe. The split-level interior features entry into the ground floor featuring three generous bedrooms with built-in robes, a main with ensuite and exterior access to a north-facing deck, a bathroom with a shower over bath, a toilet and a vanity with laundry facilities incorporated into the design and a study/ home office. A gallery-like timber staircase leads to the second level north-facing, open-plan kitchen with living and dining, where the urban-style galley kitchen provides a Miele dishwasher, gas cooktop, an under-mount oven, stainless steel benchtops, open shelving and storage. The living and dining area features a high ceiling and dappled north-light filtering through the sheer curtains with double doors leading out onto a large entertaining deck overlooking the terraced garden. Internal details include ceiling fans, a split system for heating and cooling, electric wall heaters, carpet in bedrooms and floorboards in the living areas.

Stone steps lead to a terraced backyard, and the typography of the property allows for views of Mount Alexander and the surrounding Castlemaine township. The gated entry leads to a carport, a shed with 762 sqm (approx) incorporating a ground-level south-facing courtyard, a low-maintenance garden, established trees and a water tank. New York state of mind living in a beautiful and vibrant artistic country town.
