The quintessential area of Bendigo for period homes is unquestionably Quarry Hill. Developed in the Victorian period following the mining boom, it was where the nouveau riche resided in their fine Victorian, Edwardian and Federation homes.
By the interwar period of the 1920s- 1930s, the local adaptation of the California Bungalow became the popular home. Fast forward to the 21st century, and the style is still in demand. So much so, this circa 2015 bungalow-style home was designed to blend seamlessly into the neighbourhood.
Built by specialist local builders Pilcher Builders, the home reflects the interwar style, with an internal focus on modern family living.
The red brick facade features the characteristic double-gabled roof and front portico supported by wide brick piers with rendered trim, while reclaimed windows from the original dwelling grace the front door and bow window.
Discover generous internal proportions beginning with the entry foyer, featuring high ceilings with stepped cornicing. It opens to the main bedroom with a walk-in robe and a streamlined ensuite, while a hallway on the left leads to two more robed bedrooms, the main bathroom and the storage-rich laundry.
The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with corner stacking glass doors to a wrap-around deck, creating the ideal indoor/outdoor flow for family living or entertaining.
The kitchen is a cook's delight with a full suite of Smeg appliances, a large butler's pantry, stone-topped benches and an oversupply of soft-touch cabinetry.
Extras include ducted heating/cooling, art deco light fittings, easy-care landscaped grounds, and a double garage with internal stair access.
Positioned in a quiet street on a lot of approximately 422m², it is a short walk to private and public primary schools, the Railway Station, the CBD, the Quarry Hill Recreation Reserve, Golf Club and Ken Wust Oval.
