Set among established shady gardens on an allotment in excess of 1,000 sq metres, imagine walking down a long path before entering this immaculately presented double and triple brick Victorian residence originally built in the mid 1800′s. The charm of yesteryear has been retained with bull nose verandah, iron lace work, ornate cornice, ceiling roses and high ceilings while tasteful renovations have transformed this into a true family home with an abundance of natural light flowing into the living area through an architecturally designed clerestory. Living only 3 blocks from the centre of Bendigo has never been this good. You can leave the car at home and either walk to work, CBD or restaurants. Upon entering the home, a lovely long and wide hallway greets visitors. Comprising 4 bedrooms, 3 living areas, entertainer’s kitchen & a beautiful outdoor area, inspection of this home is a must. The very generously sized main bedroom at the front of the home has built in robes with bedroom 4 having an ensuite. Located also to the front of the home, the formal lounge has a gracious white marble fireplace plus floor to ceiling bookshelves on two walls. Chefs will love cooking in the very large light filled kitchen which has downlights, large stainless steel gas stove, electric oven, dishwasher, double bowl sink, an abundance of cupboard space, easily accessed appliance storage area and built in bar area. Additional living areas include a large open plan dining / lounge area and a further separate living area. Several open fire places with black slate and timber mantels, ducted gas heating and split system air conditioners ensure year round comfort. Tastefully decorated with quality drapes, carpet and tiles. Two sets of double doors lead out to a very private rear yard which has a mature Japanese maple tree with a table built around it. A workshop/tool shed is situated in the corner of the rear yard with brick stairs leading to a dry cellar for wine storage. Miss the opportunit
