337 Barker Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

A woven wire front fence enhances what is already the undeniable street appeal of one of Castlemaine’s true gems. The double-fronted, C1890s Hawthorn brick residence with its wide covered verandah adorned with decorative iron lacework enjoys a commanding position on an easy to manage 518 sqm block.

Astute buyers will immediately recognise they are about to enter the realm of superior quality lifestyle living in an exceptional location. Beyond the welcoming red door, the home opens to a wide central hallway with 6” skirting boards, beautiful, polished hardwood floorboard and decorative archway. An all-white tone complemented by pops of soft colour throughout further enhance the sense of space, light and style. Fanning off the hallway are four beautifully appointed queen bedrooms, all with large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. Two of the bedrooms host substantial built-in cabinetry.

Step through to the home’s renovated family space which opens to a light-filled living zone and dining area. With its white gloss cabinetry, chic duck-egg blue subway tile splash back and premium gas/electric cooking plus dishwasher, the kitchen is sure to delight. And when outdoor dining and entertainment calls – and in this home it will be often – open up the glass French doors to the sunny timber alfresco deck. A short flight of steps from the deck leads to a paved patio and beyond, the fully fenced rear garden with manicured lawn area; a safe space for children and pets. Also accessible from the kitchen and with its own entry from the deck is a spacious multi-purpose room; this appealing and versatile space ideal for home office/study use or as an additional bedroom. To fully support the living experience are two beautifully finished bathrooms.

Additional highlights would be expected and this home delivers. All fixtures, fittings and finishes are ecofriendly and of superior quality. Full ceiling and floor insulation delivers exceptional climate control, supplemented by gas heating and a 2kw solar system which feeds back to the grid, and solar hot water system with gas boost. A well-proportioned laundry and garden shed provides space and storage.

Castlemaine is renowned for its engaging lifestyle with an array of cafes, fine dining experiences, vibrant theatre and arts scene, botanical gardens, primary and secondary schools and sporting facilities. Being within walking distance to everything Castlemaine has to offer, 337 Barker Street is in an enviable location with the fast train to Bendigo (20mins) and Melbourne (90mins) within walking distance.
