6 Carol Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

Most quarter acre allotments in other towns and cities have been long since sub-divided. However, at this address, established gardens surround this residence reaching a pinnacle at the rear of the block, where grand 180 degree views of a densely-forested horizon remain uninterrupted. Comfortable and well-kept, the 70's brick home has been updated over the years, leaving little of its retro history as testament to its heritage. While dark timber-look laminate kitchen cabinets allow new owners to design their own dream kitchen, original floorboards are well-worth retaining. Refreshed with a contemporary vanity and extensive tiling, the bathroom meets modern standards. Capturing morning sunshine, the sunroom could do double duty as a guest room with the use of a sofa bed. In the sunken lounge, natural light fills the room thanks to huge corner windows, and a gas fireplace infuses ambiance without all the work of chopping wood. Ducted evaporative cooling and ceiling fans keep summertime temps under control. Solar panels have also been installed to significantly reduce energy costs.Currently a playroom, parent's retreat or luxuriously large dressing-room is open to the 3rd bedroom. Though presently only 3 rooms are separated as bedrooms, 4 bedrooms can again be reinstated, if the wall between 2 of them is replaced.Nestled between the back verandah and terraced backyard garden beds is a delightful patio ideal for outdoor living. Dappled in sunlight filtered by lattice, it is sheltered beneath a clear polycarbonate roof. Paths of red brick, slate and sandstone paving wind their way throughout the grounds, leading to secluded garden nooks and areas with more practical purposes. An oversized double garage and older corrugated iron shed supply storage and secure vehicles, with an extra-wide single carport at the front of the property providing more covered parking.It's just a couple of minutes' walk from Castlemaine Secondary College and only a bit further to the Botanic Gardens, hospital and Kalimna Park. Whether looking to invest or reside, this is a fantastic chance to own a comfy family home that needs nothing now but has a great deal to offer in future.
