7 McEwan Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

Tucked away in the quiet locale of McEwan Street, with the best of both worlds, a short walk into Castlemaine, yet in nature with walking tracks and a borrowed landscape at your doorstep, is this 1950s period three-bedroom home plus studio, beautifully presented inside and out and move in ready.

A convenient location allows one to walk to the Bromley & Co x Castlemaine Gaol, the train station, the Mill Complex and into central Castlemaine for retail and amenities.

The floorplan consists of entry from the porch through the striking blue front door into a formal foyer, with a feature pendant light and beautiful period timber details before leading into the living room, dominated by its oversized period windows that wrap around a corner of the room, bringing with it a connection with nature. Double frosted doors lead into the dining room with a large window overlooking the back garden, and at the heart of the home is the kitchen with timber benchtops, a freestanding 900mm gas cooktop with an oven, a dishwasher, storage and outlooks over the rear entertainment deck and garden.

The main bedroom overlooks the native front garden and has built-in robes. Two further bedrooms are north-facing, generous in size and separated by a bathroom with a shower over bath, a vanity and a toilet. To the rear of the house is a laundry with an additional separate toilet. Updated for modern comfort and practicality with insulation, gas central heating, concrete stumps, separated NBN to the house and the studio and a split system in the living room, the home is abundant with period details being ornate plasterwork, timber finishes, flooring and large windows that capture the established garden.

The rear entertainment deck has an elevated view of the back garden and borrowed landscape of neighbouring farmland. A north-facing studio provides a multifaceted work or living space, a teenage rumpus, a parent or guest retreat, or allowing one to work from home. The space is highly insulated and features a concrete floor, a split system, an independent NBN connection and a large storage area that has potential for a bathroom conversion (STCA). This manageable 582sqm (approx) property has a high impact, low-maintenance native garden with rambling pathways, established trees providing shade, a feature pond, quiet sitting areas, a second entertaining deck, a shed, a carport, a 10,000-litre water tank for the garden and a chook pen. To the back of the garden is a gate to the borrowed landscape of the neighbouring farmland and walking tracks, making this a home to nurture and feel nurtured.
