116 Johnstone Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

Enthusiastic renovators and developers will certainly be excited by this new listing; a block, location and opportunity such as this one is becoming increasingly hard to find. You see, 116 Johnstone Street offers 868 sqm (approx.) of land just two kilometres from the heart of town. Yes, the double fronted brick Victorian needs some attention but there are lots of features to love.

The home’s position on the block, hard up to the boundary on the northern side, creates many favourable options. Land to the side and rear call for creative extension designs. Or will you investigate the possibility of subdivision? Perhaps you will start from scratch with a contemporary build, all subject to council approval.

As is, the period home retains a traditional floorplan of two bedrooms, a front loungeroom, a large eat-in style kitchen and a rear bathroom with a shower over the bath. The laundry is accessed externally and there is a handy store room. Note the rear double carport with covered access to the home.

Retain or salvage some lovely period features; the traditional front veranda with tiered steps and iron lace work, two original fireplaces in the main bedroom and living room, hardwood floors concealed beneath the carpet and timber lined ceilings.

The yard is neat and level with some mature shrubs and trees. There are two garden sheds for storage. Otherwise, it’s a blank canvas to do as you please.

Bring your ideas and enthusiasm to an inspection, the options here are both exciting and varied.
