Located in the highly sought-after Bowden Street, within walking distance to the restaurants and retail of Castlemaine, the train station, the sprawling Mill Complex and the renowned Botanical Gardens, "Rossini" elevated on its site of approx. 1035sqm, is a beautiful example of late Art Deco architecture, stucco on brick foundations with soft curves, ornate plasterwork, etched windows and decorative timber detailing.
Sweeping steps lead up to the porch with a formal double door entry into the wide central hallway. Amass with period character, "Rossini" features a generous north-facing open plan living, dining and kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, a third smaller bedroom, a bathroom with shower and toilet, and a laundry with an additional separate toilet. The kitchen includes a central island, dishwasher, freestanding electric oven and cooktop and storage. Updates include a gas ducted heating, a gas heater in the living and ceiling fans.
Once the original fernery, a large covered entertaining area leads out to the garden with established trees and mixed planting. A carport connects to the garage and rear workshop, providing extra space and storage.
Framed by the enormous plane trees on Bowden Street, "Rossini" is an Art Deco delight brimming with period features and craftsmanship. In a premier location and within sight of the Old Castlemaine Gaol, now owned by prominent artist David Bromley, "Rossini" is a rare find, and a testament to its era.
