Parting is bittersweet; but the time has come for Cliftonwood to have a new family. Thus, the opportunity presents to secure one of Bendigo's finest properties and remodel, refurbish, or simply enjoy.
In mostly original condition, Cliftonwood rests on a superbly elevated allotment of approximately 974 square metres. Gardens are pretty and well established, and there's a selection of fruit trees promising another bumper crop.
With so much space, you can create the city home of your dreams complete with pool, tennis court - or both.
The architectural features will delight; majestic facade, brick quoin, bull-nose veranda and elaborate iron lace. She has soaring ceilings, fancy cornice and deep Victorian skirts.
In the kitchen, and in excellent working condition, there is an antique Andrews cast-iron stove with double oven and - love this - special compartment to warm toes and dry wet shoes.
Rooms include spacious formal lounge with French doors to formal dining, kitchen with family meals, four bedrooms, a rear vestibule, internal laundry and an extra-large family bathroom.
Thankfully, the home is structurally intact. And the floor plan, with its wide hallway and traditional configuration, is the layout you're looking for.
Surprise features: The main bedroom has ensuite access to the bathroom, and there is an interconnecting door between two of the childrens' rooms - ideal for computer or play room.
Welcome extras: Fitted robes, modern solid-wood heater, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, double carport, workshop, garden shed and concrete-paved patio.
A truly special home in an unbeatable location; walk to city shops and restaurants, cinema, Market Place and Girton Grammar.
Agent's comments: "Cliftonwood offers the new owner a range of options that are rarely seen in this location, particularly because the bulk of the land is beside the home, not behind.
You might renovate the home and enjoy the spacious block, or subdivide with council approval. "
