Prepare to be captivated as this remarkable home gradually reveals its many layers of charm and sophistication. Set in one of Bendigo's most prized streets, the residence immediately impresses with the timeless elegance of a beautifully preserved classic cottage.
Step inside to discover a warm and inviting front section of the home, where polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, and refined period details create a cosy yet sophisticated atmosphere. This wing comprises two generous bedrooms and a sleek, contemporary bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and a spacious walk-in shower.
As you move through the home, the dramatic impact of the architect-designed extension unfolds. Seamlessly blending heritage character with striking contemporary design, this light-filled living domain is framed by expansive glass and opens to a private alfresco deck and courtyard-an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is as impressive as it is functional. A long marble-topped island bench anchors the space and is complemented by integrated storage, a dishwasher, induction cooktop, gas oven, built-in microwave, and a walk-in pantry/wine cellar. The adjoining open-plan living and dining area features a gas log fire and oversized sliding glass doors that extend the space outdoors to the alfresco entertaining deck, complete with a stainless-steel outdoor kitchen and mains gas BBQ.
The upper level is dedicated to the main retreat, offering walk-in robes and a beautifully appointed bathroom with a walk-in shower, marble-topped vanity, and separate WC. Overlooking the living area and courtyard below, the mezzanine lounge or library provides a tranquil retreat or creative workspace, enhanced by custom shelving and abundant natural light.
Additional features include ducted heating and cooling, extensive storage, a laundry, powder room, gated off-street parking, and rear access to a double remote-control garage. An additional space beside the garage accommodates a small car, trailer, or similar. The flexible floorplan also allows the home to easily adapt to professional consulting rooms, a hobby business, Airbnb or bed-and-breakfast accommodation, or a designated separate area for elderly parents.
Superbly renovated and extended, this exceptional residence delivers refined living in a blue-chip location-just a short stroll to Bendigo's shopping, dining, arts, and recreation precincts, as well as hospitals and esteemed public and private schools.
A rare opportunity to secure a truly versatile and architecturally striking home in the heart of Bendigo.
