12 Wheeler Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

Private from the street behind its new white picket fence is this beautifully presented three-bedroom charming Edwardian home on 728sqm (approx), perfectly positioned, just a short walk into the heart of Castlemaine's retail and restaurants. With a serene colour palette inside and out, this much-loved and turn key ready home in a sought-after location offers a place to retreat, to sit back and relish in the north light.

A generous front porch provides a perfect spot to sit as you enter a central hallway that opens into a living space with an open fireplace with a period-style surround, and bi-fold doors open into a second north-facing living/ study with bespoke oak bookshelves and double doors open onto a verandah that wraps around the exterior of the house and provides an elevated entertaining area to the back of the home. Centrally located is the kitchen with north-facing dining and double doors opening onto the verandah. The kitchen provides a new Bosch gas cooktop with an under-mount Bosch oven, and an old-world charm is added to the space by an original IXL wood stove set within a period timber surround. Two bedrooms are front-facing with large decorative stained glass period windows, and one has custom built-in robes. A third bedroom is at the rear of the house. Light and bright, the room has north and west-facing decorative stained glass period windows that overlook the back garden. Servicing the home is an updated bathroom with a bath, a shower, a vanity with an above-the-counter basin, a separate toilet and a laundry. Updates include insulation to walls and ceiling, a split system and gas ducted heating, with period details being hardwood flooring and high ceilings.

The large newly refurbished deck to the back of the home provides vistas of the surrounding landscape and is the perfect place for entertaining family and friends. The low-maintenance garden features established ornamental and fruiting trees, native planting and a newly built retaining wall with built-in bench seating. The property provides a 2.9m x 6.1m carport and a 3.7m x 3.7m shed. With only a short stroll into the hub of Castlemaine, this premium Edwardian makes for a tranquil and beautiful place to call home.
