Stylish Edwardian Retreat with Pool, Privacy & Subdivision Potential
Set high on an established 2,100m² (0.52 acre) garden allotment with sweeping views across Castlemaine to the old Gaol and Mt Alexander, this beautifully crafted Edwardian home offers a rare combination of timeless architecture, privacy, and future potential-all just 750 metres from the heart of town.
Built from solid brick with a slate roof, the residence immediately impresses with its striking double-arched hallway, soaring 11-foot ceilings, ornate cornices, and arched picture windows-classic details that speak to a bygone era. Rich Baltic pine floors flow throughout, grounding the home’s more eclectic touches-artful light fittings, bespoke garden features, and a sense of warmth and personality in every room.
There are three generous bedrooms, a lounge with fireplace, a dedicated dining room, and a central bathroom. The updated kitchen, with a butler’s pantry and cellar, is practical and full of character-offering space to gather, cook, and connect. A office or studio adds flexibility to the floorplan, while two verandahs-one sun-drenched, the other sheltered and private-extend the home’s living footprint outdoors.
The real magic lies in the gardens. Mature deciduous trees, natives, and fruit trees shape a peaceful, almost secret landscape, with winding paths, whimsical art, and a showstopping 8x4m inground pool-fenced, paved, and perfectly placed for long afternoons in the sun.
With Residential zoning, dual access, and the space to consider subdivision (STCA), the possibilities here are as inspiring as the home itself.
