This magnificent period residence was built in approx. 1890 and consists of two dwellings which sit side-by side in pure harmony. Each residence can be occupied completely separately from the other or alternatively, by opening the central hallway, the two could be made into one exquisite residence.
It is a true honour that the current owners have enlisted Tweed Sutherland First National to sell their property which has been renovated inch by inch over the past few years.
The grandeur of "Rolleston" can only truly be appreciated with a personal inspection which lets you drift back into yesteryear and a time gone by.
The main dwelling is elevated from the street to take advantage of views available towards Bendigo CBD. The wide central hallway has three bedrooms leading off to the left with the main bedroom enjoying a beautiful ensuite with white marble vanity top.
The formal dining room is the perfect location for an evening dinner party with as many guests as you would like.
There are two features of this exquisite home that I could write for hours on. One feature is the kitchen and the other is the enormous lounge room which was once used as the Grand Billiard Room of the mansion.
The large gas stove, granite bench tops, ceramic kitchen sink, copper flue and grey mirrored kitchen cupboards are a testament to the quality of fixtures and fittings placed into the painstaking renovation of this property.
Downstairs boasts another two bedrooms, study area, toilet and powder room plus direct access to the residence from the single garage which has an automatic door.
Off Palmerston Street, to the side of the main residence is the entrance to the second residence which consists of a 1940′s art deco 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen, bathroom and lounge which could be leased individually or used to accommodate elderly parents or the teenagers who want to get away from mum and dad.
Hydronic heating has been installed throughout the home for clean, clear, crisp heating throughout the winter months.
Most people in Bendigo will recognise this home from the magnificent example of late 1800′s architecture being the "widows walk" on the rooftop. From these dizzy heights, the views across Bendigo are arguably the best I have seen and would be the perfect location for sipping an evening chardonnay or watching the fireworks from.
There is even a cellar to store those most precious wines.
