Moonlight Views: A 1960s Heart Stealer with Modern Updates

Does your heart skip a beat for retro charm? This 1960s-built home, designed with a focus on natural light, playful features and quality construction, is just for you. And the views stretching over the town, taking in Mount Alexander and the historic Castlemaine Goal are one in a million.

The current owners have honoured the property’s original character while tastefully updating it for modern living making it a true delight to inspect.

Enter into the open plan kitchen, dining and living area and prepare for the romance to begin. Views are picture framed from every large window in the home.

The updated kitchen is a highlight, featuring timber panelling, sleek ceramic benchtops, an induction cooktop and a chic tiled splashback. Original cabinetry preserves the vintage vibe, while a split system and gas ducted heating ensure comfort year-round.

The spacious living room, enhanced by a new wood heater with the wished for original slate surround, opens onto a wide, covered balcony—ideal for relaxing or entertaining with those stunning views as your backdrop.

The clever design incorporates a brand-new bathroom with a shower over the bath, a large laundry with a second shower and a separate WC—perfect for families and guests. Ample linen cupboards and a separate storage room offer great convenience.

Three generously sized bedrooms feature built-in storage, with a split system in the master. There’s also potential to add an ensuite and walk-in robe.

Downstairs, one of the original garages has been transformed into a stylish studio, while a second garage and workshop add functionality and loads of future potential. A cellar space and full access underneath the home make maintenance easy, while solid ironbark stumps provide a durable foundation.

Meander the garden paths and admire native planting and harvest apricots, nectarine, pomegranates and figs to name a few. Vines drape from the balcony and put on a vibrant show throughout the year.

Additional noteworthy features include two 5,000-litre water tanks a 5kW solar system.

This stellar address is strolling distance into town with cafes, bars completing this charmed lifestyle and less than 10 minutes walk to the train station.

The only real question left: how will you furnish this beauty—retro, contemporary, or a mix of both?
