14 Hall Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

Located in the highly sought-after historic Hall Street, this double-fronted late Victorian home on a generous 1018 sqm is a private oasis in an ideal location. Situated within walking distance to the train station, the renowned Botanical Gardens, the artisan hub of the Mill Complex, both primary and secondary schools, retail, and other amenities, and the Castlemaine Diggings Heritage Park.

Highlighted by a majestic Dutch Elm tree and privately set behind the quintessential picket fence, the Victorian home features an entry from the bull nose verandah with ornate lattice detailing into a central hall with a decorative archway and four generous bedrooms, three with original fireplaces, and two with built-in robes.

A later addition to the home includes a living room/snug and a large family bathroom with a bath, shower, and toilet, before opening into a large open-plan kitchen with dining and a second living room with sliding doors leading to a west-facing deck. The kitchen provides a Miele electric cooktop and oven, a Smeg dishwasher, and plenty of storage. The living/ dining features a solid wood heater and views of the lush back garden. Completing the internal floorplan is a large laundry with external access, a study nook, and a second bathroom with a shower and a toilet. Improvements include hydronic gas heating and a ceiling fan. Period details include high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, double-hung windows, and stained glass detailing.

Dominated by a large Golden Ash tree, the fully-fenced garden combines a mixed planting of established trees such as ornamental pears and olives. The property provides off-street parking, two water tanks, and a garden shed. A bonus is two studios, one is currently used as a home office.

Ideally located, with a balance of heritage and contemporary living, this home provides options with space for the whole family to enjoy and grow, in a private oasis.
