89 Forest Street

Welcome to "Vivians", a beautiful double-fronted late Victorian located only 600m from the centre of Castlemaine's retail and restaurant hub. Life in the heart of town. Enter off the front verandah into the central hall with lead light glass detail, with two mirror-image bedrooms on either side. The bedrooms both feature built-in wardrobes, window shutters, pressed metal detailing and original ornate fireplaces. The hall opens into a formal living room with an original fireplace and window shutters. Adjacent to this space is a third bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes, window shutters, and an original, ornate fireplace. To the back of the house are the open-plan kitchen and dining with French doors leading to the north-facing back garden and entertaining patio. With a raked ceiling, the compact kitchen features a freestanding gas cooktop with an electric oven and overlooks the back garden. Completing the floor plan is the combined bathroom and laundry. Improvements include gas heating, a split system and ceiling fans. The north-facing terraced back garden is the hidden secret. The garden features established trees and meandering paths. The fully fenced garden provides a secure, remote single garage accessed via a laneway, two water tanks, and shedding.
