The home then opens up at the rear to a spacious, north-facing kitchen, dining and second living area, laid over polished concrete floors. The kitchen offers a gas cooktop, under-mount oven and a wrap-around bench that suits casual dining, while the second living space includes a split system and direct access to a covered alfresco area, overlooking a back garden shaded by oaks at its rear boundary.Three bedrooms sit within the original part of the cottage, two with built-in robes, all finished with timber floorboards and double-hung windows. The updated bathroom includes a shower, toilet and vanity.Beside the house, a freestanding studio makes an ideal home office or retreat, with its own timber flooring, an open fireplace, double-hung windows and a verandah. A carport sits alongside, with a garden shed close by.The back garden is fully fenced, and it’s a 650m walk into the centre of town, taking in the Theatre Royal, Love Shack and the wider café and dining scene. Castlemaine station is approximately a five-minute drive away, with direct rail services to both Melbourne and Bendigo.Castlemaine continues to draw people for its mix of heritage streetscapes, independent shops, weekend markets and a food and arts culture that punches well above its size. For anyone looking to downsize without giving up character, or buy a first home with room to make it their own, this is a considered, low-maintenance option in a genuinely walkable position.","YearBuilt":null,"LandArea":null,"Price":{"Currency":"AUD","Amount":null,"Display":"$739,000"},"Bedrooms":"3","Bathrooms":"1","Parking":"1","Features":[{"Name":"Bedrooms","Value":"3"},{"Name":"Bathrooms","Value":"1"},{"Name":"Carports","Value":"1"},{"Name":"Area","Value":"1,048 m²"},{"Name":"House Size","Value":"105 m²"}],"Inspections":[],"Auctions":[],"TimeZone":"AUS Eastern Standard Time","Latitude":-37.06904329,"Longitude":144.22461648,"Agent":{"Name":"Bianca Wiegard","CanonicalUrl":"https://realsearch.com.au/agent/bianca-wiegard"},"Agency":{"Name":"Cantwell Property Castlemaine - CASTLEMAINE","CanonicalUrl":"https://realsearch.com.au/agency/cantwell-property-castlemaine-castlemaine"},"CreatedAt":"2026-09-03T07:46:58.4662864","UpdatedAt":"2026-09-03T07:46:58.4865884"}
