ONLY minutes from the Corner Store Caf, the arts precinct and the CBD, this boutique area of Ironbark is definitely an up-and-coming part of town, with hills and views to rival those of Quarry Hill and North Bendigo.

Being elevated, physically speaking of course, is such a good feeling, and this property, on a very generous 838m2 allotment, certainly gives you that.

From the three-bedroom home in Quick Street the views are stunning. You can see the green of a sports oval, the cathedral spire and way beyond views of the old orphanage on St Aidans Road.

The savvy investor won’t need to do much to the property as it is currently returning $270p/w. However, the builder/renovator will want to take full advantage of the views by building up or starting from scratch (STCA).

Set well back from the street, the Victorian-style home has the usual suspects of high ceilings, polished pine floorboards, tall front windows and other period details. A front iron-lace verandah is the perfect place to catch the winter sun and enjoy the views.

All the rooms are off a central hallway. There are two large bedrooms at the front, one with a cast-iron fireplace with a decorative carved mantelpiece, and both with high ceilings and picture rails.

A living room is at the home’s centre and features another fireplace, this time in exposed brick. There’s a third bedroom, before the hallway opens to a wide vestibule. To the left off the vestibule is a kitchen with an upright gas stove and a wood stove, ample storage and room for a dining setting.

To the right there’s a bright two-piece bathroom with a shower over the bath and adjoining this is the laundry and toilet.
The back door opens to a good-size two-tier backyard with a huge camellia bush covered in buds. Some thoughtful landscaping here would make a big difference.

There’s also a prolific mandarin tree on the west side. Double gates are at the front and a concrete base is waiting for a carport/garage (STCA).
With interest rates at an all time low now is the time to get into the market. The vendors instructions could not be clearer, this property must be sold.
