Overview

A Piece of Bendigo’s Golden History

Rich in character and heritage, 48 Ophir Street, Golden Square, presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bendigo’s gold rush history. Believed to date back to circa 1871 and originally built for the Little Chum Gold Mine, this charming miner’s cottage beautifully blends the ambience of yesteryear with thoughtful modern comforts. Set behind a welcoming picket fence on approximately 630 square metres, the light-filled residence showcases polished timber floorboards, a traditional front veranda, twin brick chimneys and a character-filled open-plan living and dining area. The spacious spotted gum kitchen features quality stainless steel appliances, complemented by an additional meals area and inviting open fireplace with stained-glass detailing. Three bedrooms, gas heating and a renovated bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot bath and large shower complete the interior. Outdoors, undercover alfresco entertaining with BBQ connection, rear access and a peaceful outlook across the adjoining reserve provide an appealing extension of the home. A home with genuine history, timeless charm and a new chapter waiting to unfold.
