Private and within an established garden is this two-bedroom circa early 1980s retro brick home that offers country living within 15 minutes to Castlemaine and 60 minutes to Melbourne. With 1.4 acres on offer with a fenced paddock, a stable and a machinery shed, this property allows for an ideal home base or investment opportunity.

Retro vibes are throughout the home, with period-style cabinetry and windows, a nod to the interior attention to detail of the time. The floorplan features an entry from the wrap-around verandah into the combined North-facing living with a dining area. Large period windows overlook the front garden with the living/ dining space featuring a solid wood heater, and a ceiling fan. The adjoining retro kitchen with period feature tiles provides a pantry, a breakfast bar for additional seating, a freestanding gas cooktop with an oven and external access to a 7.6m x 4.6m covered area. Completing the internal layout are two generous bedrooms with built-in robes and large windows, a bathroom with a shower, a bath, a vanity, a separate toilet and a large laundry with storage and external access. The home has an integrated solar system and new carpet in the living/ dining and bedrooms.

The 1.4-acre property includes a 7.6m x 4m garage, a 2m x 2m shed, a 6m x 3m stable, a 6m x 9m machinery shed and water tanks. A large fenced paddock allows for a horse or two!
