15 Wheeler Street

Takumuna, Aboriginal for "House on the Rise," is a late Victorian three-bedroom double-fronted home with a bullnose verandah and lace fretwork. Elevated from the street, the generous sized 1021 sqm (approx) property is within a 650m stroll of the hub of the Castlemaine entertaining, retail, restaurant, and business precinct. Takumuna offers the potential opportunity to restore, renovate, and expand (STCA) to make this period property on the rise your dream home. Private from the street, steps lead to a front verandah with lovely views of the surrounding landscape and the township of Castlemaine. The floorplan features a central hall leading to a central north-facing living room with a raked ceiling, an open fireplace with a brick surround, and a ceiling fan, two front-facing bedrooms with high ceilings and views of Castlemaine, and a third bedroom with shelving and a raked ceiling. To the rear of the home is the kitchen with dining with outlooks of the back garden. In its current condition, the kitchen provides a freestanding gas cooktop and oven. Completing the floorplan is a laundry with external access, a bathroom with a shower over the bath, a vanity, and a separate toilet. Updates to the property include ducted heating, period details being high ceilings, timber cladding, ornate plasterwork, double hung and 6 x 6 windows. A driveway leads to a large 6m x 9m two-roller door garage with a concrete floor and power. The fenced back garden includes a water tank, a low-maintenance garden, a large established Liquidambar tree that adds a touch of stunning autumn colour, and the perfect tree house! This charming period home on the rise offers a perfect canvas with incredible potential and with just a little love will it be your dream home?
