55 Johnstone Street, Castlemaine, VIC, 3450, Australia

Set behind a pretty picket fence just moments from Castlemaine’s town centre, this delightful timber cottage is a tasteful blend of old world charm and modern convenience. Tucked behind a façade of established trees and seasonal garden, the home’s elevated positioning and green outlook create a sense of space and privacy.

A seldom used front door is replaced by the offset glass slider that leads directly into the beautifully lit open plan living space where dining, relaxation and entertainment combine. Baltic floors and high ceilings are charming attributes of this space. The country style kitchen features warm timber benchtops, gas cooking, built-in pantry and tiled splashback. The two bedrooms sit alongside the living quarters and are spacious with plenty of room to add built-ins. Stylish, the bathroom enjoys a luxurious deep bath, walk-in shower and toilet.

Opening from the living, the north facing front verandah benefits from its aforementioned elevated positioning, giving a treehouse feel to the outdoor seating. A private rear courtyard entranced from the kitchen is a wonderful space for alfresco dining or take an easy stroll into town to enjoy the many Castlemaine eateries. Also located within easy walking distance to schools, train station and parkland, making this a perfect downsizer, first home or investment.
