Description: This 1860s two-storey residence bears the grand hallmarks of Bendigo's gold rush era. As you step through the door, high ceilings, ornate cornices and stained-glass whisper memories of a graceful time. Tasteful renovation has melded those memories with the comforts of modern life so you can savour the best of both worlds. The home is set well back on its 557m2 (approx.) block. A stepping-stone path navigates the gentle rise from the street through the manicured garden to the sheltered front verandah. Here, you can enjoy a beverage in privacy as you watch the world go by. The property extends through to Forest Lane, where a remote control roller door grants you access to the paved double carport. Versatile living spaces and an abundance of built-in cabinetry enhance the practicality of the dwelling. Intriguing nooks and crannies will delight children and adults alike. The study to the left of the entrance would make an ideal office for those working from home. Its wall of shelves and cupboards will keep you organised. Unwind your evenings with the ambience of the open fire in the formal lounge as your children rehearse recitals in the adjacent music room. A glass in your hand courtesy of the cellar below. The renovated kitchen, with its European appliances, is strategically positioned between the indoor dining and outdoor entertaining areas, creating a natural flow between preparing meals and engaging with guests. The split-system and electric log heater in the dining room will keep those inside comfortable. Upstairs timber-lined ceilings amplify the allure of the home. The four bedrooms, study/nursery and spacious air-conditioned landing can be repurposed to suit your family's needs. A powder room and central bathroom separate the two charming bedrooms at the rear of the home. The remaining bedrooms enjoy a northeasterly aspect and air conditioning. The sprawling master suite is the ultimate parents' retreat-your perpetual weekend escape. End your day with a long soak in the oversized ensuite's deep bath. The home's View Street location puts the finest Bendigo has to offer within easy reach. Galleries, cafes and restaurants are a stroll away, and the top schools are close at hand. This residence has been the well-loved family home of the vendors for 47 years. Years full of treasured memories. What memories will your family create in this home?
