39 CAMPBELL STREET, CASTLEMAINE

This wonderful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Historical home built in 1886 is one of a handful of prominent homes that is included in the Historical Societies publication “Historical Houses, Glimpses of Old Castlemaine”. Named Peppercorn House by the current owners it sits proudly in an elevated position very conveniently located to the town centre and has wonderful original features. The architecturally designed extension to the rear of the home allows the modern expansive kitchen/living room to blend in beautifully with the original part of the home. This ensures that the home has the convenience of modern living whilst retaining all the character and charm of a home of yesteryear.

You will be impressed with the attention to detail that the owners have given this restoration as you make your way through the front door and down the wide central hallway to the modern living area of the home.

The home boasts what any chef would consider a dream kitchen with a large central island bench, a large ILVE freestanding stove with double electric oven and gas hobs, walk in pantry, dishwasher and an abundance of cupboards and drawers.

A wonderful shed is located in the back corner that has a mezzanine storage area and there are rainwater tanks to ensure that there is plenty of water for the garden too.

The formal lounge room has a unique original decorated domed ceiling and is flooded with natural light from the wonderful conservatory that has a glass ceiling. The large pepper tree outside shades this area from the hot summer sun but also allows plenty of light and warmth in during the winter
months. This area has a wonderful view of the garden and also has access to a private courtyard ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
The master bedroom is also light and airy and has the original fireplace as a feature of the room. It has a very appealing modern tiled ensuite with walk in shower and a lovely roomy walk in robe.
