This exceptional two-storey, Edwardian red-brick home was built in 1895 by local grocer, William McKenzie. The property enjoys an illustrious list of notable prior owners including engineer, John Dethridge in the 1890s (who designed the iconic Dethridge Wheel); city surveyor Joseph Richardson in the early 1900s and Bendigo pioneer G. Stedman Moore in the 1920s. With a gorgeous mature garden featuring many ornamental trees, including a Liquidamber, the home features many unique heritage details, including beaded friezework on the front verandah and the large semi-circular dining and living space with custom plaster ceiling. Walking distance to the centre of the city and the hospital precinct, and offering gorgeous views across Bendigo from the verandah, this is a truly special home.

Indoors, the ground level features a formal entry, stunning living and dining space, open kitchen and meals area with walk-in pantry, laundry, and three bedrooms and a study ensuring the configuration could easily be adjusted to suit the owner.
