40 North Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

Tucked away in the sought after North Castlemaine area, this renovated 1950s home has been carefully reworked to offer something truly special. From the street, its classic weatherboard façade gives little away-but step inside and you'll find a home full of personality, warmth and thoughtful detail. This is a property that respects its origins while embracing a fresh, contemporary way of living-designed for those who value both comfort and considered design.

A wide, light-filled entrance hall leads you into the heart of the home, where original polished floorboards flow seamlessly through the spaces, telling their own story of decades past. Two generous bedrooms, each with built-in robes, are positioned for privacy and comfort, while the fully renovated bathroom offers a blend of texture and tone-terrazzo-style tiles, a walk-in shower, and a striking original brick wall painted crisp white for a fresh yet grounded feel.

At the front of the home, the lounge invites you to settle in with its north-facing window and the ambient warmth of a gas log fire set within the original fireplace. The bespoke kitchen is a standout, designed with both style and practicality in mind. Custom V-groove panel cabinetry is paired with sleek black hardware, while the exposed brick chimney-once home to a wood-fired stove-has been cleverly repurposed to house a premium 900mm SMEG cooker. There's also a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, and breakfast bar, all contributing to the kitchen's intuitive layout and elegant aesthetic.

Flowing from the kitchen, the dining room is a beautiful space for hosting, with French doors that open out to an elevated alfresco deck shaded by a vine-covered trellis and surrounded by lush, established greenery. This private outdoor zone is the perfect extension of the living space-ideal for long lunches, quiet mornings, or evening wine under the stars. A split system in the dining room ensures indoor comfort no matter the season.

Additional features include a charming laundry with a second toilet, a single carport, and low-maintenance established gardens that frame the home without demanding your weekends. 

Located nearby Castlemaine Secondary College, the Botanical Gardens, the Mill, Kaweka reserve and the golf course, this home offers not just lifestyle, but a place to feel truly settled. A stylish and soulful renovation that honours its past while embracing the needs of modern living-this is a home to fall in love with.
