120 Mostyn St, Castlemaine VIC 3450

Commanding a rare position high on the hill at Castlemaine's Monument Hill - with its historic Burke and Wills memorial- this 1861 residence carries both heritage and presence. Elevated above town with sweeping views, the home unites classic period detail with modern amenity and generous outdoor living.

The residence is rich in character, from its lace veranda balcony and polished timber floors to decorative fireplaces and hydronic heating throughout. Inside, the layout flows with a great sense of proportion: two large bedrooms with robes, a central bathroom with clawfoot bath, and a lounge framed by a wall of built-in bookshelves forming a cosy retreat. A dining room scaled for family gatherings leads to the country kitchen, with bespoke mesh infill cabinetry, 900mm stainless steel cooker, dishwasher and cove ceiling. From here, French doors open to the pergola, draped in vines, where the garden outlook becomes part of daily living. Additional features include solar panels for energy efficiency, reverse cycle air-conditioning in the dining area, and a centrally positioned wood heater that forms the warm heart of the home.

A third bedroom or study expands the accommodation, well sized at 7.4m x 3.4m, this space is fully lined and has polished floorboards, internet, power and reverse cycle air-conditioning, offering creative or professional flexibility.
