7 Lawrence Street

1950s homes with heart and heritage features

Number seven Lawrence Street makes us long for those longer days of the past; where neighbours chatted over timber fences, kids played in rambling backyards, and hours were whittled away on shady front verandas... well, welcome to your new lifestyle.

This lovely listing in creative Castlemaine offers the chance to do life your way. The double-fronted 1950s weatherboard is big on character, while being neat and cosy, lovable and liveable just as it is. It also presents an opportunity to update should you be looking for a project.

The home retains plenty of coveted original features, such as; high ceilings, picture rails, timber-framed sash windows and decorative cornice.

There are two bedrooms here; both have a ceiling fan and quality carpet.

The front loungeroom has split system heating and cooling and a wall air conditioner for a choice of temperature control.

The open-plan kitchen/dining space has ample room for a big table to welcome in your family and friends. There is a bank of cute original kitchen cabinets, a sink under the window, and a gas upright stove.

The bathroom has been updated and has a contemporary vanity and a shower over the bath.

At the rear of the home is a bonus multi-purpose sun room/studio space. Use it as you see fit!

Outside, an elevated deck sits above the leafy backyard; your new go-to place for evening meals in the warmer months.

There is a sweet backyard shed with timber doors and a window, and special mention goes to the Hills Hoist. It's a keeper.

Lawrence Street is off the main road and within walking distance of the beautiful town of Castlemaine; loved for its top-class cafes and restaurants, its artist spaces, heritage streetscapes and unique cultural offerings. Plus, its easy train connection to Bendigo and Melbourne. Could this great property be your base from which to enjoy it all?
