Imagine living within walking distance of Bendigo's finest restaurants and shopping in a traditional character-filled cottage. Situated on the hospital side of the city sandwiched between newer commercial buildings in a rapidly developing locale, this compact property resonates with yesteryear charm and appeal. It presents a unique combination of character, flexibility and practicality. Inside, the weatherboard home has three bedrooms with built-ins, a front lounge, an updated kitchen/dining at the rear opening to a covered verandah/alfresco deck overlooking a leafy courtyard. Off the dining area is the three-piece bathroom, internal laundry and toilet. Period features throughout include high pressed-metal ceilings, an open fireplace with timber overmantle and leadlight glazed front windows. There's off-street parking for one vehicle and personal access to the backyard for bikes etc. Versatile Commercial 1 zoning ensures broad appeal with homebuyers seeking an inner-city lifestyle or investors recognising the potential for good returns from short-stay accommodation or city-edge commercial premises. Alternatively, relocate or demolish the building and start again with a purpose-built commercial building. (All subject to STCA). Get your running shoes on to be in the race for this one!
