76 Main Road, CAMPBELLS CREEK VIC 3451

If you’ve been holding out for something special, your hunt might just be over. 76 Main Road stands out from the rest with its unique period features and rich old gold history. It’s also just a 6 minute drive from the centre of Castlemaine for community and ultimate convenience. Built in 1863 by John Smith, this historic residence served as accommodation for miners and merchants during the gold rush era. For the past 40 years it has been lovingly cherished by the same family, proudly preserving its legacy. As you approach, you are greeted by a classic picket fence, a charming cottage garden and a wide timber verandah that wraps around the northern side. A large arched window with lead lighting is a stunning and unique focal point. Note too, the stately palm tree – evidence of the home’s prosperous beginnings. Step inside to experience the warmth and character of a bygone era. Honey toned timber floors, pressed metal and timber lined ceilings and original, decorative fireplaces certainly bring the romance. Each room retains its authentic proportions and there are three bedrooms, with the master being extra spacious. Perhaps you will consider reconfiguring the adjoining dining room as a walk-in robe and ensuite for added convenience? The quaint eat-in style kitchen, that adjoins the central living space, features generous solid timber cabinetry, now freshly painted white, and an upright stove. The bathroom, in neutral tones will likewise be serviceable for years to come. Sitting on an 854 sqm block (approx.), adorned with mature shrubs and trees, there is plenty of space to extend and add value to this precious property (STCA). A carport adjoining two sheds is a practical and desirable feature to note. For now, you can simply move in and savour the comfort and charm of this ‘gold nugget’. Don’t miss the opportunity to make 76 Main Road your own piece of history.
