81 Bowden Street

Castlemaine VIC 3450

You know a property with a Bowden Street address must be special, but the potential to subdivide this spectacular 1,406 sqm block elevates this property's appeal to a whole new level. Boasting frontage to Bowden Street, the deep block also has a second street frontage on Farnsworth Street. A planning permit has already been granted to subdivide the block into one of some 900 sqm with its beautifully renovated and presented miner's cottage and a second allotment of 500 sqm to Farnsworth Street, upon which a dwelling can be constructed (STCA).

From its traditional front verandah entrance, the timber and iron cottage opens to reveal a deceptively spacious interior featuring numerous period features including high ceilings, dado wall paneling, Baltic pine floorboards and a stylish white palette. At the front are two queen bedrooms, main with French doors at the side. The wide central hallway leads through to the eat in kitchen which meets every need with cabinetry and gas cooking; the blue subway tile splash back adding a stylish pop of colour. Opposite, the bathroom has been superbly renovated to deliver a spacious shower, stylish vanity, discreetly situated WC and beyond, a specially constructed alcove housing a deep bath and skylight ceiling offering that perfect place to relax. To the cottage's rear is the living room. Feature windows flood the interior with natural light and there's access to a covered alfresco patio and a purpose built shed with tiled floor houses you washing machine. The well tended gardens feature manicured lawns dotted with mature trees and shrubbery. Front and rear gates provide easy vehicle and pedestrian access.

Bowden and Farnsworth Streets are two of Castlemaine's most desirable addresses, so a property with frontage to both in a town that is one of Victoria's regional drawcards is a rare and exceptional offering. The train station (650 m) and center of town (1.5 km) are a short walk away. Bendigo is an easy 25 minutes via the Calder Highway or fast train and Melbourne 90 minutes via train or Calder. The opportunity to subdivide and investigate further development opportunities STCA only serves to further add to this unique property's overall appeal. Inspection is a must.
