87 Barkly Street

Bendigo VIC 3550

Secluded behind a high fence and delightful gardens, the Circa 1928 Californian Bungalow home displays arts and crafts details with a twin-gabled facade featuring roughcast infills and exposed rafter ends.
The front porch held aloft by a tapered pier is a beautiful place to sit and survey the front garden where reclaimed brick-paved paths meander between beds of roses, shrubbery and hardy perennials.
The home retains charming original features like stunning freshly-polished Baltic pine floorboards, bay windows, high ceilings with ornate cornice, timber doors, and open fireplaces graced with timber surrounds and mantles.
Accommodation includes three newly-carpeted bedrooms - the substantial main with built-in robes and a thoroughly modern ensuite; the spacious second has full-wall floor-to-ceiling robes; the third boasts two-way access to the main bathroom.
The large lounge room exudes a calming atmosphere with its open fireplace and romantic leadlight-glazed bay window overlooking a zen-like garden.
Across the hallway, the dining room boasts another open fireplace, storage and a servery window to the galley-style kitchen. Keen cooks will appreciate the gas/electric cooking appliances, Bosch dishwasher and abundant timber cabinetry.
A rear vestibule/study nook and a North-facing sunroom/laundry with French doors leading to the dry wine cellar and side gardens complete the interior.
Further highlights include gas heating/cooling and a solar power system.
Enjoy outdoor living and dining in total privacy with an alfresco shelter covered by a 75-year-old wisteria vine and two sun-drenched brick-paved courtyards. A 3m x 3m storage shed, a single carport and off-street parking behind electric gates take care of practical things.
The enviable position is a short walk from the hospital precinct, primary and secondary schools, the View Street Arts Precinct, Rosalind Park, Faith Leech Aquatic Centre, Ulumbarra Theatre, Queen Elizabeth Oval, Tom Flood Centre and a mere one-minute walk to a bus stop.
