Welcome to Talbot, a timeless residence steeped in history and thoughtfully transformed for modern family living. Nestled in the heart of Bendigo at 145 Don Street, this late-1800s homestead has evolved into a spacious and sustainable double-storey home, thanks to a substantial extension completed in 2008. With its blend of heritage charm and contemporary comfort, Talbot offers an exceptional lifestyle for families seeking inner-city convenience without compromising on space, greenery, or versatility.
A Home That Tells a Story
From the moment you arrive, Talbot invites you in with its picturesque front garden—a tranquil setting that hints at the warmth and character within. Step through the front door into the original homestead, where period features such as Baltic pine flooring, ornate Victorian cornices, and a welcoming open fireplace create a sense of nostalgia and elegance. The front sitting room is a cozy retreat, perfect for quiet evenings or family gatherings around the fire.
Opposite, the front bedroom offers privacy and comfort, complete with a walk-through robe and access to a stylish bathroom. This leads into a secondary lounge area, ideal for reading, relaxing, or as a play space for children. From here, the home opens into a sunlit, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zone—truly the heart of the home. Designed for connection and functionality, this space is flooded with natural light and flows seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining deck.

Talbot is equipped with ducted gas heating, ducted cooling to ensure year-round comfort with energy efficiency in mind. Whether you're warming up on a crisp winter morning or cooling down after a summer day in the garden, the climate control options are tailored to meet your family's needs.
Room for Everyone
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms each feature built-in robes and study nooks—perfect for growing children, teenagers, or guests. Large windows offer pleasant views and natural light, creating peaceful havens for rest and creativity. A powder room with toilet adds convenience to the upper level, making it a self-contained space ideal for family living.
The main bedroom, located on the ground floor, includes a ceiling fan, built-in robe, and a beautifully appointed three-piece bathroom. Its proximity to the deck and garden makes it a serene retreat for parents.
Versatile Studio & Backyard Bliss
One of Talbot’s standout features is the detached studio, accessible via one of three exit points from the home.
