89 Duke Street, Castlemaine VIC 3450

This classic 3 bedroom 1950’s house with north facing back sits on a large block with two street access and potential for subdivision (STCA).
Known locally as the “Butterfly House”, it has been completely updated and restored (re-stumped, rewired, re-plumbed) with new kitchen and bathroom, yet retains the stylish features of the era, including vertical shiplap board exterior, lounge dining area with wood heater and air conditioning, original fittings and joinery, large main bedroom, light filled rooms with large windows, double doors to a vine draped rear patio with pergola, polished timber floors, handy mudroom and the stunning angled roofline typical of the 50's.
The exceptional garden makes use of the deep and wide block. A front garden with stone paths and the “M 89” road marker welcome you. A wide driveway to one side, vegetable wicking beds and fruit trees to the other side. A good sized lawn is close to the rear of the house that’s flanked by garden beds full of interest with native plants, rock features and rock walls. All with an automatic watering system.
Then further back still on this deep block, behind the large and functional shed, surprise! A serene rear section of the block with its amphitheatre like setting, pond and beautiful vistas, a sheltered entertaining area and a cute staircase to Whalley St and the bush walking trails of the area.
