3 Blakeley Road, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

It’s exciting to visit a home that holds onto its period charm but also reinvents itself with new warmth, character and comfort. House hunters will recognise this is a rare and special attribute, certainly bringing number 3 Blakeley Road to the top of the list to inspect.

The fabulous 40s weatherboard is set on a beautifully landscaped 633 sqm (approx.) block. Think Corten edging, soft grasses and established natives. It’s settled and scratchy in an authentic, loved Castlemaine kind of way.

Inside, discover what can be best described as the very coolest Castlemaine vibes. Black mid-century modern style light fittings, a moody colour scheme, exposed timber windows, hardwood floors, 3kw solar and underfloor insulation. Even the ceiling fans are stylish.

The current layout offers floorplan flexibility, currently configured as three bedroom and two living areas but could easily offer a fourth bedroom or home office in the now front lounge room, which is made all the cosier with a gas log fireplace. Of the three bedrooms that hinge off the central hallway, the master features large built in robes, plush carpet, and an ensuite. The further two bedrooms are robed and a ‘secret’ room is located behind the bookcase which is sure to spark imaginative wonder in children!

The central bathroom blends class with character showcasing earthy Spanish floor and wall tiles in soothing blues and browns along with angled timber panelling. Complete with a deep soaker bath and floating vanity, it’s a space that invites relaxation.

At the rear, the home unfolds to reveal a kitchen, dining, and living area seamlessly catering to family life and entertaining. With split system heating and cooling and ceiling fans as well as a gas log heater, the space promises year-round comfort with relaxing views to the landscaped rear yard. The kitchen is a standout, featuring charcoal-panelled and white cabinetry complemented by warm timber benchtops, ample storage and desirable appliances.

Outside, enjoy the easy care settled garden where natives bring the birds. There are fruit trees and raised veggie beds to harvest from. Amongst this pretty setting, there is an undercover decked alfresco and a sunny, intimate patio. The long, sealed driveway leads to a two-car carport, opening onto a second undercover area, ideal for larger scale entertaining.

The prime location, within walking distance of the town centre, schools, Botanic Gardens, golf course and the trails of Kalimna Park, further enhances the real estate appeal of this remarkable property. Act swiftly to inspect.
