83 Farnsworth Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

This is a home for the lover of the Australian mid-century modern architecture and design. The three-bedroom brick home is resplendent with retro features and an ideal location, with a fantastic view of the Old Gaol from the front garden and a stroll away from Castlemaine's vibrant heart, with retail shops, schools, the Mill Market, Botanic Gardens, and convenient train services to Melbourne and Bendigo.

The beautifully presented home features entry into a hall featuring elegant double frosted glass doors that lead into a generous living room, with a gas heater inset into a period brick surround and windows overlooking the front garden. The adjoining kitchen with dining is a retro delight with striking blue tiles, period-style cabinetry, a wrap-around bench that invites casual bar-style seating, a freestanding gas cooktop with an oven and a window to the sunroom. A corner window in the dining makes for the ideal spot to have your morning coffee. The main front-facing bedroom has a large window overlooking the pretty garden, and two further bedrooms have built-in robes, with the second bedroom ideally suited for a home office.

The bathroom is a delightful nod to retro aesthetics, featuring pink accents, a shower over the bath, a pink basin vanity, and charming period tiles alongside a separate toilet. The laundry area includes a second shower and leads to a west-facing sunroom that overlooks the tranquil back garden-an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy stunning sunsets. Additional details include ducted heating and cooling and external blinds. Period features include polished floorboards, ornate plasterwork, retro light fittings, timber doors and frames and steel frame windows.

The property provides a 2.7m x 5.6m carport adjoining a 3.5m x 7.3m garage with external access to the fully fenced back garden with an iconic Hills Hoist. The low-maintenance garden features established trees and shrubs. This well-presented and beautifully maintained home is a mid-century gem, perfectly blending retro charm with modern conveniences in the heart of Castlemaine.
