Set on the high side and only a block away from the Cathedral is this stately large home. A solid red brick home which has been painted over the years, a Victorian style with character, and the most sought after position. Enter the front verandah which is larger than the average, wide in size and spans the front, rear and both sides of the property, even though 3 of them have been built in and become extra rooms, but if the purchaser can see the value in returning the property back to its original state with the verandahs opened up would enhance the home so much more. Featuring the large traditional hallway which is wide with decorative archway, & ceilings all approx. 12ft high throughout. The front rooms consist of 3 large bedrooms, all with covered open fire places, main with ensuite, large formal lounge with access to verandah, at the end of the hallway opens onto a family-living room, plus a formal dining room, a comfortable kitchen, large bathroom with shower, bath and vanity, separate toilet and the built in rear verandah also accommodates as a study etc. Separate from the house by a ramp is another brick building, (which originally could have been the kitchen), ideal as a studio etc, another WOW factor of the property which will leave you lost for words is the rooms under the house, a workshop and 4 main dry rooms, large in size, plus go down a set of stairs into another large room, all ideal as cellars for the wine collectors, or for those that like to collect furniture or craft these rooms would come into use, or just use them as storage. Sited on approx. 748 sqm allotment with direct access from Wattle Street into single lock up garage and also access from Richard Street into a double carport. This home has been loved and cared for by the current owners but time has come for someone to come along and put "their mark" on it, ideal renovator, as it has 'great bones' and needs some updating, but would be an absolute jewel in the crown, as properties in this area untouched don't come onto the market that often, so if you are looking to live in the Blue Chip area of central Bendigo this property has to be inspected to be appreciated, call for an inspection as properties in this area are highly sought after.
