108 Duke Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

This mid-century home is the perfect example of the appealing trifecta of function, form and opportunity. Solidly built and well sited on an easy to manage 707 sqm block minutes from vibrant Castlemaine’s CBD, the current owners, seeing the home’s potential, commenced updating the property that now offers a contemporary family bathroom in stylish neutral tones. Elsewhere, there are beautiful hardwood timber floors; walls and ceilings in the three spacious bedrooms painted and new window furnishings installed. The third bedroom with its new cabinetry and rear garden views would be an ideal home office/study if desired.

East facing and with appealing dual aspect, the light and bright family room opens to a kitchen and adjoining meals area. This area is most definitely a blank canvas ready for your inspiration and creativity, which could even include reimagining the current floorplan to deliver free-flowing contemporary living. Additional features include a laundry and mudroom with second toilet. The home’s elevated rear aspect delivers lovely south-westerly views across the surrounding treetops. A Jarrah ramp leads to a fully fenced and very private rear garden with lawn area and shrubbery beyond which is a large iron shed that can garage two cars plus ample storage. Further additions that are the very essence of contemporary living include split system air-conditioning, solar panels feeding back to the grid, Rinnai instant solar hot water system with gas boost and rainwater tank for the garden.

Convenient to Castlemaine’s primary and high schools, array of shops, cafes, galleries, services and sporting facilities, the property’s potential is undeniable. Yes, there is work to be done but the scope to create your dream home and lifestyle is an exciting prospect indeed – and one to be embraced.
