60 Steele Street, Chewton.

Set on a generous 2,728m2 allotment with a rural outlook, this light filled brick residence offers the space, flexibility and garden setting that can be increasingly difficult to find so close to Castlemaine. Enhanced through the years, the 1980s era home is comfortable and well considered, with three bedrooms, two separate living areas and a renovated bathroom. The modern white kitchen is bright and functional, equipped with gas cooking and a dishwasher, while reverse cycle air conditioning and gas heating provide year round comfort. Outdoor living is a genuine highlight, with an extra large covered alfresco area overlooking the established rural style garden. Gum trees, rural fencing and the generous proportions of the allotment create a relaxed country atmosphere, while town water adds everyday practicality. For those needing space to work, create or store equipment, the property delivers with two substantial workshop spaces measuring 3.6m x 6m and 6m x 6m, complemented by a double carport. A 12 panel solar system with boosted power further adds to the home's practical credentials. With the freedom of a substantial garden, useful shedding and a peaceful rural aspect, yet only around 3.5km from Castlemaine town centre, this is a property that offers the best of both worlds - genuine country character with town conveniences close at hand.
