Designed by the owners and crafted using locally sourced stone, this beautiful home sits proudly in a park-like setting of mature trees. A grand entrance and bitumen drive lead to the oversized double garage with remote doors. Large enough to also accommodate storage or a work area, the garage has direct access to the home via the laundry/mudroom which has ample space for everyday items and access to the kitchen for groceries. Blackwood cabinetry features in the kitchen and there are all the conveniences, dishwasher, gas cooking, and a large island perfect for food prep or entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen is the dining area with feature stone wall and glass sliding doors. Soaring raked ceilings, timber and stone feature in the oversize living room; a grand space with picture bay window to enjoy the view. The home’s layout allows for three- or four-bedroom accommodation. The master has ensuite and walk-in robe. The larger of the remaining bedrooms has direct access to outside making it a versatile space - think home office, further living or home-based business. The other two bedrooms have built-in robes and all are serviced by the main bathroom that includes a large corner spa. Designed for the Australian climate and lifestyle, the outside of the home has a full verandah, paved alfresco with shade, lawn, established ornamental and vegetable gardens, large and small shedding, water tank, and the property is fully fenced. Further to the garage, there is a 12m x 6m shed with power, lighting and concrete floor, additional three-bay semi-enclosed carport, and separate 6m x 6m room currently set up as a gym. Additional features include gas ducted heating, reverse cycle split system and ducted vacuum. A leisurely walk to the Campbells Creek post office, pub and café and less than 3.5 kilometres to Castlemaine town centre. Built with an attention to detail that is evident in the quality of workmanship, the home, combined with a generous near acre of land, shedding and mature gardens, is the complete package.
