16 Goldsmith Crescent

With views overlooking Castlemaine and towards Kalimna Park, within walking distance of the train station, the restaurants and the retail hub of Castlemaine, this elevated 1950s brick home on a generous 953sqm located in the historic Goldsmith-Yandell precinct is both private and quiet - a mid-century sanctuary. The floorplan consists of a living room with an original crazy stone fireplace, north-facing dining with sliding doors leading to an entertainment deck, a contemporary kitchen with a freestanding induction cooktop with an oven, a dishwasher, and a walk-in pantry. Three spacious bedrooms, two with built-in robes, an updated bathroom with a shower and a toilet, a laundry with external access and a second toilet complete the internal floorplan. Original details include steel frame windows, hardwood flooring, ornate plaster detailing, original glass sliding doors and cabinetry. Updates to the property being integrated solar with a Tesla battery backup, ducted-central heating, ceiling fans, a split system, and Luxaflex Honeycomb energy-efficient blinds. Externally, the property is private yet invites the borrowed landscape of neighbouring gardens and surrounding ancient gums into its space. A studio/ guest house with north light provides extra space and sits within the garden of ornamental and native planting. Completing the property are a double carport, two wicking vegetable beds, a chicken pen, a recycled corrugated iron garden shed, and a water tank. Only the second time offered on the market, this mid-century property with contemporary liveability is a rare find, a sanctuary to retreat.
