305 Barker Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

On the corner of Barker and Berkeley Streets, four blocks from the railway station and a level walk to town, kindergarten and primary school, is this original C1800s red brick heritage house. It was once home to the Castlemaine coach builder John Myring, and has been featured in Coast and Country Magazine. Built in traditional style with a lace trimmed front verandah hiding behind the front hedge, it is a typical Castlemaine home of the period. Solid and substantial with an arched hallway entry, high ceilings, timber floors and ornate features. The home has a cellar and gas ducted heating in the four main rooms. There is plenty of scope to enhance the home as a grand period residence. At the rear are the kitchen, bathroom and study. The 780 sqm block has a long north side aspect allowing room for sun filled extensions to the main dwelling, or a possible subdivision STCA. Last offered for sale 31 years ago, its rare to get this level of convenience to the town centre. Call to inspect now.
