It's hard to imagine having so much space and privacy so close to the city centre. This is a wonderful home offering sanctuary and a great lifestyle. Walking distance to the CBD, some of Bendigo best primary and secondary schools, the aquatic centre, Rosalind Park and the View Street Arts Precinct. This grand home has afforded /provided great lifestyles and opportunities for prominent families since the 1870s. They certainly don't build homes like this anymore! Constructed in the late Victoria Boom Style, when Bendigo was riding the wave of the gold rush , the home offers grand proportions and is loaded with period charm including marble open fire places, high ceilings, ornate cornice, polished timber floors and a rendered front with wrought iron lattice work and veranda. There is an abundance of space for a family to live, work and study with 5 bedrooms, a large study, enormous formal lounge, sun room, formal dining room and a large kitchen / meals / family room with great access to the private gardens. The size of the rooms and layout provides a great deal of flexibility. Set on just under 1,100m2 this is absolutely one of the bigger residential blocks so close to the city centre. The gardens feature established trees and plants which afford a great deal of privacy. With vehicle access from two streets, a private courtyard off the kitchen and a wonderful back yard. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by some of Bendigo's finest homes with great access to the Bendigo Hospital and St John of God Hospital.
