1/61 Forest Street, Castlemaine

This two-bedroom, three-level apartment is in the hub of the Castlemaine entertaining, retail, restaurant, and business precinct. Contemporary loft living at its best, the apartment offers the flexibility of a combined home with a work/office space. The floorplan features a bedroom/ living/ workspace with double doors to an east-facing deck with an art mural by Melbourne artist Jack Rowland, who has exhibited nationally in galleries such as James Makin and the VANGUARD Invitational at Outre. On this level is a bathroom with combined Euro-style laundry that provides a shower, a toilet, a wall-hung basin, and bespoke timber wall storage. Steps lead to the original Victorian period building with hardwood flooring, large double hung windows overlooking Hargraves Street, and an open plan concept of a living, with dining and a galley style kitchen. The kitchen provides an induction/electric cooktop, an under-mount oven, a dishwasher, storage, and a split system. A third level features a loft-style bedroom with a split system and double doors leading onto a balcony with outlooks over Castlemaine and towards the Bourke and Wills Monument. A central location allows for a 10-minute stroll to the train station, the Mill Complex, the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens, and a short walk to the Castlemaine Art Museum, Kalimna Park, the iconic Theatre Royal, the Love Shack Public Bar and Brewery and all the cafes, restaurants and retail this vibrant town provides. *Please note that there is no parking onsite for this apartment*
