Overview

Built in 1949 and held by only two owners in more than seventy years, this timeless Californian Bungalow captures the enduring appeal of mid-century craftsmanship and a connection to nature that never goes out of style. Set within leafy gardens on a 720m² parcel, the home is just 1km from the centre of Castlemaine and moments from the train station. The façade charms instantly, with its wide verandah, timber-framed windows and soft garden outlook. Inside, the home reveals its generous proportions and beautifully preserved character. The main bedroom sits at the front, complete with an open fireplace and period detail, while the second bedroom and a central bathroom make for an easy family layout. At the heart of the home, the spacious lounge, dining and kitchen areas flow together beneath decorative plaster ceilings. The kitchen retains its original timber cabinetry, paired with a gas cooktop and dishwasher, all positioned to take in the leafy garden views. A second living area and third rear bedroom enjoy outlooks to the private backyard, creating a flexible zone for guests, hobbies or quiet retreat. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling, while the home's solid timber floors and doors, ornate ceiling roses and original joinery tell the story of its era. Under the house, a functional laundry, second toilet and storage space add to the practicality. Outside, the garden is established and inviting, with fruiting lemon, apple and mulberry trees adding both shade and charm. A rear balcony provides a tranquil spot to sit and take it all in, and off-street parking for two cars completes the picture. A home of integrity and heart, ready to embrace its next custodian - offering a rare opportunity to live within walking distance of Castlemaine's cafés, train station and vibrant town life.
