Bendigo VIC 3550

In the centre of the house is a large reception room with a fireplace and French doors leading out to an undercover verandah. Glass sliding doors separate this space from a formal dining room, also featuring an open fireplace, and further down the hallway is a large butler s pantry and access to a light filled open plan living, kitchen and dining room. At the rear of the home is a mudroom, and a large laundry which is home to the original wood boiler, and steps leads down to a spacious cellar that dates back to the 1880s from the first home that was built on the site. Once considered a summer dining room this stone and brick-lined space includes an additional cellar room and with temperatures year-round of 14-16 degrees Celsius, large light wells and a fireplace.
The home, sitting on a plot of just over one acre, benefits from a private, beautifully manicured garden that meanders amongst established trees making it hard to believe that the centre of Bendigo is just minutes away. Stunning views over the city, including Sacred Heart Cathedral, can be enjoyed from the wide verandah off the main living room, adding to the many sensational zones throughout the home that are perfect for entertaining. A potting shed; two-roomed solid brick granny flat; outhouse; and stables, are flanked by fruit trees including a 100-year-old olive tree manicured lawns and garden beds.
