Built in 1900 and positioned in an established Golden Square neighbourhood, 24 Ophir Street combines classic period character with practical modern updates, offering an inviting opportunity for first home buyers, investors or anyone seeking a well-located home with personality. Behind its traditional weatherboard façade and leafy garden setting, the residence reveals generous proportions, distinctive original features and a comfortable three-bedroom floorplan.
High ceilings, decorative detailing, polished timber floors and ornate fireplaces celebrate the home's heritage throughout. The spacious living room provides a welcoming place to relax, complete with a striking feature fireplace and split system heating and cooling for year-round comfort. Each of the three bedrooms includes built-in storage, with the primary bedroom further enhanced by its own original fireplace.
At the rear of the home, the dining area connects naturally with the updated kitchen, where contrasting cabinetry, tiled splashbacks, gas cooking, a wall oven, dishwasher, pantry and generous storage create a functional space for everyday use. A character stove recess adds another memorable touch, blending the home's history with its contemporary finishes.
The central bathroom has also been modernised and includes a shower over the bath, vanity and toilet, while the separate laundry offers excellent built-in storage and space for both a washing machine and dryer.
There is direct access from the dining area to a timber deck, creating a private setting for outdoor meals, entertaining or simply unwinding beneath the established greenery. The enclosed rear yard offers manageable outdoor space, while the substantial carport with remote roller-door access provides secure parking, storage and additional flexibility.
Close to local shopping, schools, public transport and Bendigo's CBD, this character-filled home delivers everyday convenience alongside the warmth and individuality of an older residence. With its appealing blend of period detail, modern updates and practical outdoor spaces, 24 Ophir Street is ready to be enjoyed while still offering scope to add further touches over time.
