A Beautiful Transformation

Sitting privately from the street behind a stone wall and established planting, this enchanting three-bedroom Californian Bungalow has undergone a thoughtful renovation, artfully merging its original period details with contemporary design elements. Set on a generous 1300sqm (approx), the property is ideally within walking distance to the Chewton Community Pool, Soldier's Memorial Park, the local primary school, and several amenities including the Red Hill Hotel and the picturesque Leanganook Walk Track. Castlemaine is a short drive for retail, amenities, additional schools and the train station to Melbourne or Bendigo.

The home features an entry from the elevated front porch through double doors into a central hall with built-in wall display shelving and ornate ceiling plasterwork. Adjoining the hall is the living room with open views of the kitchen and dining. The living features period stained glass double-hung windows, a timber-clad wall, ornate ceiling plasterwork, and a solid wood heater, which is inset into a period brick fireplace with a mantle that runs along the whole wall, perfect for display artworks. The black contemporary country-style kitchen with muted white walls provides stone benchtops, a freestanding 900mm Smeg gas cooktop with an oven, an integrated dishwasher, and timber wall detailing helps to create a soft transition from the old to the new and incorporated within the kitchen design is an integrated washing machine. With partial double glazing to the rear of the home, the dining has a raked ceiling, a split system, and a large picture window that overlooks the garden and a stunning Japanese Coral Bark Maple tree. A second sitting area adjoins this space and has a sliding door to a patio area overlooking the private back garden.

The front-facing main bedroom has a split system, a double-hung stained glass window and ornate plasterwork. A second bedroom has a split system, and at the rear of the home, the third bedroom has a built-in bookcase, a split system and eye-catching textured wallpaper. Central to the floorplan is the updated bathroom with soft grey wall tiles, a black tiled floor, a shower over a freestanding clawfoot bath, a toilet and a vanity. Updates include an integrated solar system and partial double glazing whilst maintaining beautiful period details such as timber floorboards, high ceilings, and decorative plasterwork.
