About this property

In a town brimming with iconic buildings from the goldfields' era, The Gold Warden's Office stands out, not only as a stunning example of period architecture, but for its residential and commercial versatility courtesy of a Commercial Zoning with the option for residential use. On a spacious 719 sqm corner allotment in the heart of Castlemaine and built in 1864 by Charles Maplestone for use as a gold storage facility and miners' court, the building has undergone an extensive and meticulous restoration and renovation programme. Soaring 14' ceilings, some timber-lined, arched sash windows, polished floorboards and multiple fireplaces combine with all the attributes of contemporary living to create a stylish yet relaxed home or commercial offering. As a commercial proposition the building offers an entrance foyer, reception area and 4 consult rooms. As a residence the central gated entry opens to an expansive living room with formal and informal meals areas and renovated kitchen with timber cabinetry, sweeping bench space, induction cooking, electric oven and dishwasher. Large glass sliders open to an expansive, newly constructed alfresco deck, perfect for outdoor dining and entertainment in a private garden setting. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms share a designer bathroom, superbly tiled and fitted out with sleek vanity with ample storage, spa bath, open shower room and discreetly sited toilet. A well-positioned mud room off the deck also houses a Euro laundry. There's reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout and open fireplaces, which, coupled with the building's extremely thick walls delivers year-round comfort. Among the wealth of additional features is a new slate roof, new wiring, freshly painted interior and carpet, quality fixtures and fittings throughout, external security system and new boundary fencing. With gated vehicle access to the rear, surrounding gardens are a mix of native trees, shrubbery and flowering plants bordering brick and gravel pathways. There's ample onsite parking for four cars plus disabled access. Should the Gold Warden's Office enjoy its new life in the commercial sphere, the property's location and layout supported by plenty of street parking, render it an excellent space as consulting rooms for health, wellness or a variety of professional services. Properties of this calibre and versatility are rare to the market. With a location in the heart of Castlemaine's commercial and arts precinct, the opportunity to stroll to everything makes a residential lifestyle very appealing, while the commercial attributes are also undeniable. The Gold Warden's Office is a golden opportunity not to be missed.
