17 Gainsborough St, Castlemaine is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 1019m2 and floor size of 114m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in July 2025.
On a generous allotment of 1019m2, just 1.5km from the centre of Castlemaine, this solid 1970s brick veneer home offers that elusive mix of space, comfort, and potential-with a sun-soaked backyard that's ready for backyard cricket, veggie beds, or nights lounging under stars.
Cleverly positioned on the block to maximise the north-facing rear garden, the home has great bones and plenty of room to grow into. Recent updates-including fresh paint throughout and brand-new carpet-mean it's move-in ready, while its retro features give a nod to its era and add plenty of personality.
The home offers three well-sized bedrooms (two with built-in storage), a central bathroom with separate shower and bath, and a standalone WC. The large front living room is a welcoming space, complete with built-in timber shelving-a great spot for books, family photos, or vinyl-and it flows through to a combined kitchen and dining area. The kitchen brings a playful 70s vibe with its green tiled splashback and timber-slat pantry doors, while a large open window connects to the adjoining sunroom, offering full backyard views and loads of natural light. It's easy to imagine this space filled with plants, kids' art, or a long table for lazy weekend brunches.
Outside, the backyard is a blank canvas with space to roam, relax, and reimagine. Whether you're dreaming of fruit trees, chickens, a firepit or a pool-the options are here. There's also a huge 6m x 7.3m garage perfect for the home hobbyist or tradie, plus a single carport directly attached to the house for everyday convenience.
The location ticks all the boxes too-walking distance to a local playground and kindergarten, close to bushland walking tracks, and just minutes from Castlemaine's vibrant shops, cafs, train station and schools.
Whether you're just moving to the area, buying your first home, or looking for a smart investment with great bones and even better potential-this one's a solid step in the right direction.
