35 Hargraves St, Castlemaine is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1880. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in December 2021.
A rare and golden opportunity exists to secure the original Gold Wardens Office, sitting in the very heart of Castlemaine, one of Victoria's most historic towns.
Purpose built for the storage of gold and use as the minor's court, by Charles Maplestone in 1864, this property offers flexible potential for both a private family residence or a professional office, being appropriately zoned for both.
Within unbeatable walking distance to all amenities in the centre of Castlemaine: schools, Theatre Royal cinema, Phee Broadway Theatre, doctors' surgeries, supermarkets, indoor/outdoor swimming pools, railway station, cafes and the beautiful Botanic Gardens. Bi-annually, you may walk to the many offerings of the always vibrant and colourful Castlemaine State Festival, of which this home has housed events and galleries throughout the years.
The house comprises 3 generous bedrooms or one can be used as a study and a modern, centrally located bathroom. 14 foot ceilings greet you throughout the home including in the large formal living room with grand fire place. The galley kitchen is off a second more informal living room with the home heated by under floor central heating. The purpose of the house's origin meant extremely thick walls were constructed for security, doubling in keeping the home at ambient temperatures year round.
Lovely established gardens offer beautiful tree canopied areas to sit and enjoy while off street parking is also available for 2 or more cars. The home offers ample opportunity for future extension (STCA) which could potentially allow for incredible capital gain.
This perfectly located opportunity will be highly sought after. A home of this calibre rarely presents itself, so if you like to arrange a private inspection please don't wait to get in touch.
