27 Baxter Street

Bendigo VIC 3550

Set on a quarter acre, just 1 block from the edge of the CBD, is a rare opportunity to own a significant part of Bendigo's heritage.
Allegedly built circa 1880s by Mr Hume, who also constructed the then humble Hume and Iser's Hardware store nearby, this address potentially continues to offer its next occupants an extremely brief commute to work. Still heavily laden with original features, a chance to restore and further add to contemporary comforts will entice avid enthusiasts of traditional architecture. Beyond an iron-lace return verandah, lofty trees as tall as the ornate chimneys embellish a street-scape of Victorian residences. Indoors, high ceilings are graced by elegant plasterwork and timber fretwork. Hand-marbled as well as carved timber mantles adorn open fireplaces. Lining boards, exquisite wall vents and picture rails also lend vintage character. Recent updates such as a stainless steel stove provide modern convenience. Formal living and dining rooms along with a sunny sitting room and 3 bedrooms can ably accommodate a family. Outbuildings include a storeroom with underground cellar, bathroom, separate toilet, laundry, carport and shed with concrete floor. Plenty of space remains for further development (STCA).
On such a large block and with train station, CBD, primary and secondary school, let alone so very much more so close by, this property is bound to be inundated by prospective purchasers.
