38 Hall Street

They don't build houses like this anymore. Recently updated, this early 1980s three-bedroom brick veneer home is a home amongst the trees and constructed with a solid foundation. With outlooks onto the borrowed landscape of the surrounding bush, this home provides the liveability of town life with the tranquillity of the bush at your doorstep. The last house in a no through road and tucked between the Kaweka Native Conservation Reserve, the Diggings National Park and the Mt Alexander Golf Club and walking grounds, this home is all about the view and location. Walk into town for retail and amenities, a short stroll to the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens and the Mill Complex, and close to the Castlemaine North Primary School and Castlemaine Secondary College. The internal floorplan features dual north and west-facing living with bushland views, a brand-new all-electric kitchen with a dishwasher and dining with external access to a glass vestibule/ boot room leading to the carport. A central hall leads to three spacious bedrooms, two with built-in robes, a bathroom with a bath, shower and new vanity, a separate toilet and a laundry with a light well and exterior access. Internal details include ceiling fans, a gas space heater, evaporative cooling, an instantaneous hot water system, block-out internal blinds and external canvas awnings, fully insulated and freshly painted with new floor coverings throughout the home. A large workshop/ studio is located downstairs and provides easy access to the under-house storage. Externally the manageable 533sqm property features a north and west wrap-around porch with decorative steelwork, a carport with an insulated roof and a new roller door, a garage, a garden/ tool shed, and a side yard with a low maintenance fully fenced garden. With its solid brick piers as foundations, this is a home built to last. Views capture the borrowed landscape of the surrounding bush, both walking and mountain bike tracks at your doorstep and with in-town convenience, this is the best of both worlds. It's time to get back to nature.
