5A Caroline Street

Tucked quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac, "Kaiwood" is a home that holds its pleasures close. An established garden of ornamental trees draws a generous curtain around the property, dappled and cool in summer, sculptural and light-filtering in winter, offering a sense of seclusion just a short walk from the heart of town. Step through the front garden, park-like in its ease and beauty, and into a home thoughtfully arranged for comfortable, everyday living. You enter directly into the living room, where a north-facing bay window frames the garden beyond. From here, the home opens naturally into the kitchen and dining. The kitchen offers a gas cooktop, undermount oven, dishwasher, and a view over the rear courtyard and its pretty garden. A sliding door from the dining extends the living outdoors, the rear garden is fully fenced and beautifully finished with box hedging, a Japanese maple and a crepe myrtle, a considered and lovely space that asks very little of you. Three bedrooms, each with built-in robes, are served by a well-appointed bathroom with bath, shower and vanity, plus a separate toilet. A gas wall heater and wall-mounted air conditioner keep the home comfortable year-round. The laundry has external access, and a water tank and shed round out the practical credentials of this well-considered home. The setting is one to savour, private and peaceful, yet genuinely walkable to Castlemaine's cafes, shops and everything that makes this town such a sought-after place to call home.
