48 Campbell Street, Castlemaine

Set along one of Castlemaine's most admired streets, Hillsvue is a Victorian home of light, character and quiet sophistication, just 700 metres from the centre of town, with schools, cafés and Kalimna Park all within easy reach. The bullnose veranda, framed by sculptural succulents, hints at the craftsmanship within – high ceilings, polished Baltic floors and pressed metal detailing that tell a story of the home's 19th century origins. Step inside and follow the hallway to the heart of the home, where the main living area opens up with warmth and light. The country kitchen is both charming and functional, featuring a gas cooktop, dishwasher, and a generous eat-in dining space that looks out to the deck and garden beyond. The adjoining lounge enjoys beautiful northern light, with a custom built-in bookshelf, and direct access to the verandah and patio-an inviting spot for a morning coffee or evening wind-down. On this level are three comfortable bedrooms, all with rich period details including pressed metal walls, open fireplaces and timber dado panelling, echoing the home's enduring style. The family bathroom is spacious and well-finished, featuring a long timber vanity, full bath and neutral tones. The home is fully insulated and includes excellent built-in storage throughout, offering practical comfort in every season. Downstairs, the home extends into a flexible and character-filled lower level. There's a fourth bedroom, a study/ fifth bedroom, and a second bathroom with laundry facilities, plus a unique garden room that opens directly to the outdoors. Outside, the garden unfolds like a secret landscape-winding stone-edged paths weave through fruit trees, established plantings and productive wicking beds. It's both an ornamental haven and a working garden, where every corner offers a new view of beauty and life, and the elevated deck provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy it all. With its thoughtful restoration and a design that successfully balances heritage with true livability, Hillsvue captures what so many seek in Castlemaine-a home with space, style, position and promise.
