26 Urquhart Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

This charming three-bedroom Edwardian-style home, just a short stroll from central Castlemaine and conveniently located near Kalimna Park, offers a perfect blend of period elegance and modern comfort. Nestled on a 1002 sqm (approx.) corner allotment, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped, park-like grounds, providing privacy and tranquillity. A separate, independent studio further enhances the appeal of this unique property, offering versatile potential for guests, rental opportunities, a home office, or creative pursuits. Located just 500 metres from the centre of town, this is a rare chance to enjoy a peaceful lifestyle with all the conveniences of urban living.

Set behind a quintessential white picket fence, enter the home from the front verandah into a spacious living room with double doors that open to a back deck that overlooks the private garden, making it an ideal space for entertaining. The living area has a gas wall heater, a split system, and a study nook with built-in shelving. A sunny, north-facing dining space flows into an updated kitchen, which features a freestanding 900mm Franke gas cooktop and oven, a Bosch dishwasher, and a stone benchtop perfect for casual dining. The dining area includes built-in bench seating and opens to a wrap-around deck.

The front-facing main bedroom includes a built-in robe and an ensuite with external access, while the second bedroom boasts a period brick fire surround. A third bedroom is unique, with a loft bed that provides character and functionality. The updated bathroom has a walk-in shower, toilet, vanity, and combined laundry facilities. Additional updates to the home include partial double glazing, an integrated solar system, solar hot water, and ceiling fans.

The property includes off-street parking and low-maintenance grounds with raised veggie gardens, ornamental and fruit trees, quiet sitting areas, a water tank, and a peaceful atmosphere that enhances its park-like feel. To the rear, the independent studio is self-contained with an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, complete with a cooktop and oven. A bedroom with built-in robes and a bathroom with combined laundry facilities make it a perfect space for rental, multi-generational living, or an art studio. Double-glazed windows and a split system ensure year-round comfort.

This home offers the best of both worlds: the convenience and vibrancy of town living, just moments from the heart of Castlemaine, while Kalimna Park and Goldfields walking tracks are also only a short stroll away, allowing for a lifestyle of peace, nature, and community.
