34 Castlemaine Road, Maldon.

With its traditional front veranda and timeless proportions, this renovated three-bedroom cottage sits gracefully within Maldon's picturesque streetscape. Set on 800m2, it offers a lifestyle that merges the history of the town's gold rush heritage, with the comfort of modern updates. Stepping inside, the home's character is immediate-original polished floorboards, timber dado panelling, decorative fireplaces and cottage windows all evoking its heritage. The sitting room, warmed by a wood heater, is a retreat for winter evenings, while reverse-cycle systems provide year-round ease. A separate dining room is enhanced by a cellar below, and the modern country-style kitchen, with its generous storage and leafy garden outlook, grounds the home in everyday practicality. The private spaces have been carefully considered: three bedrooms, including a main with walk-in robe, are complemented by two modern bathrooms. The main bathroom, with its freestanding bath, patterned tiled floor and expansive walk-in shower, is a statement in contemporary design. Additional features such as built-in storage and a separate laundry add depth and function. Outdoors, the narrative continues. A rear deck overlooks a citrus grove and raised garden beds, with rear access extending the possibilities. The garden connects past and present-productive, beautiful, and designed for slow afternoons. Positioned just a short walk from Maldon's celebrated cafés, bakery, shops and galleries, this home offers more than a place to live; it is part of the fabric of one of Victoria's most notable towns. Here, heritage meets renewal, in a setting that continues to inspire.
