Hamilton’s very own castle, found at the heart of the southwest Victorian town, has graced the property market.
Hewlett House, which also has been crowned The Castle in building title documents, is for sale with a $780,000-$840,000 price guide after an impressive transformation.
Charles Stewart Real Estate agent Penny Adamson said the 1876 property at 36 Gray Street was instantly recognised by locals walking down the main street.

Traditional features blend perfectly with a fresh look.
“It’s a rare and unique opportunity to purchase such beautiful architecture in the middle of Hamilton,” Ms Adamson said.
“The current owners purchased the property in 2004 and they’ve lovingly restored it, put in a beautiful new kitchen, new ensuites and carpet.”
The vendors also hired local cabinetry company Unicraft to add quality storage and shelving throughout the home, which has created an impressive library.

Bespoke cabinetry was made by a local company.
The building was originally built in 1876.
Other features include a formal entrance hall with a traditional archway and leadlight windows, three living rooms, an underground cellar and a separate home office.
The 892sq m block also offers large private gardens that wrap around the five-bedroom Italianate house.
A City of Hamilton conservation study by the South Grampians Shire Council shows the property was originally built for local doctor Edmund Vialls by architect William Holden.

Ms Adamson said the property could also be transformed for commercial use, just like a similar building in Hamilton called Roxburgh House had been used.
“But so far interest has all come from residential buyers, who have adored the architectural prominence of the property,” she said.
