Classic Edwardian with a fresh finish in central Castlemaine – c1920s

Positioned in a quiet, central pocket just a short walk from the train station, the Mill precinct, the Botanical Gardens and local schools, this c1920s Edwardian home offers a compelling mix of period character, fresh updates and everyday convenience.

Set behind a modest garden and porch entry, the home opens to a wide central hallway and showcases all the features you’d expect from the era-tall ceilings, polished timber floors, and generous proportions throughout. Recently re-plastered, repainted inside and out, and with the timber floors freshly polished, the home presents in excellent condition and is ready to enjoy.

There are three spacious double bedrooms, a light-filled lounge with a striking box-bay window and open fireplace, and a generous kitchen-meals area with solid timber cabinetry, gas cooking and dishwasher. The kitchen enjoys a sunny north-easterly aspect and connects directly to the verandah-ideal for outdoor dining, morning coffee or simply soaking up the garden outlook.
The bathroom and laundry have been updated for comfort and practicality, offering a shower and bath, with the toilet located separately for added convenience. Ducted gas heating and updated lighting add further comfort and function.

Outside, the 434sqm block includes a level, private rear garden framed by mature trees and brick paving, creating a quiet, low-maintenance space. A two-car carport is located at the rear and accessed via the laneway, providing secure off-street parking. The terracotta tile roof has also been updated, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

A comfortable, character-rich home with all the hard work done, this is a rare opportunity to secure an Edwardian classic in a tightly held, central location.
