12 Gaulton Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

Natural light is a feature throughout this 1980s brick four-bedroom home, with all living spaces designed to capture the beautiful north light filtering through the large period windows. The L-shaped design of the house allows for orientation towards the central courtyard, a spacious north-facing entertaining area overlooking the inground pool and landscaped garden. A home to entertain and within walking distance of all that Castlemaine offers makes this home a natural choice.

Located in the highly sought-after historic precinct of Gaulton Street, this much-loved home has undergone a sympathetic modernisation with a contemporary industrial feel without losing the soul of the original. The home features an open-plan kitchen with dining and living. The kitchen includes soft-close cabinetry with two-tiered drawers, a Miele dishwasher, a freestanding 900mm gas cooktop with an oven, and an island bench providing additional seating. Both living and dining have exterior access through sliding doors. A central hall leads to three bedrooms with built-in robes serviced by an updated bathroom with a walk-in shower, a bath and a bespoke recycled timber vanity.

A north-facing rumpus with exterior access to the central courtyard provides additional living before leading to a multi-faceted two-room space allowing for multi-generational living, a parent/teenager retreat, or the potential of self-contained accommodation. Currently used as a home office and main bedroom, this space features a north-facing living with a kitchenette, a home office, and built-in storage, with an adjoining bedroom and ensuite, and both rooms have a sliding door to the courtyard. Design details include; a 1.5kw solar system, solar hot water, cork flooring, electric wall heaters, a split system, ceiling fans, and Luxaflex blinds.

The fully fenced 1012 sqm property is private from the street and designed for entertaining with a 3m x 6m inground pool overlooked by a spacious brick courtyard with a vine-covered pergola. A carport with direct access to a gated space has shedding and room for a caravan or boat. The low-maintenance native garden features established trees, a stunning weeping mulberry and cherry, raised wicking beds and a water tank. The borrowed landscape of the Ancient gums along Campbells Creek allows for a country town lifestyle feel, yet, it's only a short walk into Castlemaine for retail and amenities, the train station, local primary schools and walking tracks.
