21 Parker Street

Set and elevated from the street with a lace-trimmed bullnose verandah, this period three-bedroom weatherboard sits on 509sqm (approximately) in one of Castlemaine's most walkable pockets. The Mill Complex and Botanical Gardens are 400 metres away, the town centre 1.3km, and the train station within easy reach. High ceilings, timber dado panelling and a lead light surround at the front door speak to the home's period origins. The central living room centres on a gas heater set into a period stone surround, backed up by a split system for year-round comfort. An adjoining open-plan kitchen and dining area looks out to the rear garden, with a freestanding gas cooktop and oven, a dishwasher, and bench space suited to casual meals. Three bedrooms include built-in robes, with two front rooms taking in verandah views. The bathroom offers a bath, a shower and a vanity, with a separate toilet. A generous laundry adds further storage. Outside, the north-facing rear garden is fully fenced and opens onto a rear deck and side garden, framed by established planting. A double garage measuring 5.5m x 6.0m offers secure parking for two cars plus room to spare. Zoned to Castlemaine North Primary School and close to the Botanical Gardens, train station and town centre, this is a home built for those who want period character without sacrificing walkability.
