14 Church Street

Built with care and finished with intention, this contemporary three-bedroom home sits on 525sqm (approx) in the middle of Chewton, walk to the post office, the community pool, the oval and playground, and be in Castlemaine in under seven minutes. The floor plan is thoughtfully arranged. Towards the front, a dedicated office with double doors opens to the side garden, a quiet, separated workspace that earns its keep. Three bedrooms with reverse cycle split systems sit along the central corridor, two with built-in robes; one has its own external access. The main bedroom includes a walk-in robe and an ensuite with a stone benchtop vanity, a shower and a separate toilet. The central bathroom offers a bath, shower, vanity with stone benchtop and separate toilet, and the laundry has good storage and external access. To the rear, the home opens up. The north-facing open plan kitchen, dining and living zone is where the design really delivers - a stone-topped island bench with power and room for casual dining, Bosch gas cooktop, undermount oven and dishwasher. The dining area opens directly to a covered alfresco entertaining area set amongst an established native garden. The living room looks over the rear garden and out to a borrowed landscape beyond, a view that shifts with the seasons and never really gets old. Double glazing, a solid wood heater, a water tank, and a carport complete a home that's been built to perform as well as it looks. Chewton is a small town with an easy, walkable rhythm - and this is one of its best addresses.
