An original late 1800s Victorian home, this inner-city charmer has it all – heritage character coupled with modern updates, a brilliant location within walking distance of the Bendigo CBD, a substantial 1,394m2 block, separate additional studio space and even a pool! Located in quiet Abbott Street, a short walk to Ewing Park and Bendigo railway station, everything you need is close by, including the shopping and dining of Bendigo's centre, local schools and the Back Creek walking/bike trail. Set behind a picket fence with lovely street appeal, the home includes classic heritage characteristics in the interior and exterior, including high ceilings, large windows supplying plenty of natural light, finely detailed architraves and cornices, and a traditional verandah with fretwork. The home comprises three large bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a walk-in robe and recently updated ensuite, while the second bedroom includes a built-in desk for a great study space. Moving down the house, you will find the family hub of the home, with an updated kitchen (fixtures, cabinetry and benchtops), which leads to a large formal dining room full of natural light – a lovely space to dine, entertain and relax. Adjoining the dining area is the ample open living space with plenty of space for the whole family, complete with a gas log fire set against a feature red brick wall. At the rear of the home, there is more space to relax and entertain, with vast outdoor space for kids and pets to roam in a secure yard and the generously proportioned undercover outdoor entertaining area. A stunning 8 x 4.5-meter salt-chlorinated in-ground pool is the showpiece of the large yard, perfect for those long, hot summers. In the back corner of the property is a separate dwelling that offers a range of potential uses – convert to an art studio, home office space, teen retreat or even a fourth bedroom. It has a kitchenette and heating/cooling – a self-sufficient area suited to many demographics. Vehicle access to the property is found via the laneway off Mundy Street and features an automatic remote-control gate for quick and ideal access. There is a sizable double carport and individual large workshop/shed with power and garage door. Located just minutes from town, with so many fantastic family-friendly features, this is an ideal property with exceptional potential and opportunity for those looking to join the inner city without compromising on space.
