A stunning example of character and charm is this circa 1930s family residence that is perfectly nestled on a 4953 m2 parcel of land that is a gardeners paradise. The property is made up of 3 separate titles making the future potential even more attractive with possible subdivision (STCA). Upon entering the main driveway you can park under the double carport or utilise the garage which comes complete with ample cupboards and a workshop setup. Making your way down lovely Castlemaine rock & stone paths (reminiscent of the Edna Walling estates) you are greeted by the main entrance of the weatherboard home via the lovely verandas. Stepping inside you will find many stunning features including high ceilings, timber windows, ducted heating and cooling plus streams of natural light and just that homely feel that only an inspection can reveal. Upstairs consists of a well-appointed kitchen complete with d/w, gas cooking and breakfast area which flows through to the large lounge room with a stone open fireplace, a huge sunroom with large opening doors which has a lovely northerly aspect giving panoramic views of the garden & birdlife all year round. Also on the top level we have the huge master bedroom, the 2nd bedroom and the main family bathroom. Making your way down the spiral staircase to the lower level we have the 3rd bedroom, a study area, a further bathroom plus a good size living zone and a separate laundry. Stepping outside one of the many bonuses to this picture perfect property is the separate bungalow which is split into two rooms with a kitchenette and potential for a gas heater (perfect for added accommodation or a home office).
