97 Lyttleton Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

Forging a connection to town and country living is this architect-designed home offering interconnected spaces with restrained simplicity, muted, calming colour tones and attention to detail. Sited close to the centre of Castlemaine with the backdrop of Kalimna Park at your doorstep, this feels like considered living at its best.

Seamlessly changing ceiling heights and oversized windows capturing the borrowed landscape, the open plan kitchen with dining and living evokes a sense of space reminiscent of a contemporary gallery. Key designs are bespoke cabinetry, a window seat, and a sliding door opening to a 7.4m x 3.3m deck surrounded by a low-maintenance landscaped private garden. The considered kitchen design features stone benchtops, a spacious island bench with built-in storage, two-tired soft close drawers, a 900mm freestanding gas cooktop with an oven and a striking feature tiled splash back, a built-in microwave, a Siemens integrated dishwasher with the innovative timeLight which projects the wash status onto the floor. An adjoining north-facing lounge/ fourth bedroom provides an additional flexible space with custom built-in storage, raked ceiling and external access to a courtyard. The main bedroom has a wall-to-wall built-in robe and ensuite with a shower, wall-hung basin, bespoke cabinetry and a toilet. A private wing includes a bathroom with a shower over a bath, a toilet, and a wall-hung basin and separates two bedrooms with built-in robes. The secure garage with internal and external access, built-in storage and a Euro-style laundry completes the design. Attention to detail includes internal and external electric blinds in the north living/ fourth bedroom, Blackbutt flooring, retractable fly wire screens, split systems in all bedrooms and main living, pocket sliding doors, a gas log wall heater, flush finish skirting boards and door frames, an integrated solar system, double glazing throughout, a security system with cameras, and data wired to all rooms for fast internet.

The fully fenced 505 sqm (approx) property includes a low-maintenance landscaped garden, two water tanks, and a large Peppercorn Tree that shields you from the street. Live the lifestyle; a short stroll will lead you to the Theatre Royal, The Love Shack, Bar Midland and Wild. Walk to Kalimna Park or the Goldfields Track. The best of both worlds - in-town living with the bush as escapism, a perfect match for this considered refined home.
