Set on a substantial 1,742sqm approx. allotment in a well-connected Long Gully location, 196 Eaglehawk Road presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking space, character and long-term potential. With its classic period presence, generous landholding and convenient position close to local services, schools, Bendigo Health, Bendigo Showgrounds, recreational facilities and everyday shopping, this is a property with plenty of appeal for investors, renovators, land bankers or those looking to unlock future value.
Behind its established front garden and traditional façade, the home offers a warm sense of character, with high ceilings, spacious proportions and a practical layout. The main living area is generous in size and provides a comfortable everyday space to relax, while the adjoining kitchen and meals zone offers good functionality with gas cooking, ample storage and room for family dining. There is an easy, lived-in feel throughout, with scope to refresh, update or further enhance over time.
The floorplan includes three bedrooms, giving the home added flexibility for families, tenants or those needing extra space. Two bedrooms are positioned toward the front of the residence, while the third bedroom sits separately toward the rear, offering potential for a guest room, child's bedroom or quiet retreat. A central bathroom incorporates laundry facilities, while split system heating and cooling, evaporative cooling and ceiling fans add practical comfort. The home's existing layout provides a solid foundation for those wanting to renovate with vision and add their own style.
Outdoors, the true scale of the property becomes clear. The deep allotment offers an impressive rear yard with excellent open space, established shedding and vehicle access along the side, creating flexibility for tradies, storage, future landscaping, family use or further development potential, subject to council approval. The land size and position are key strengths, offering possibilities that are becoming increasingly difficult to find so close to central Bendigo amenities.
For investors, the property has a current rental appraisal of $450 per week. Whether retained as an investment, renovated into a charming character home or explored for its longer-term potential, 196 Eaglehawk Road is a property with size, position and opportunity firmly on its side.
