We have all heard the term looks can be deceiving.
From tree-lined Bridge Street, number 80 appears to be a tiny weatherboard cottage. But a surprise awaits inside where you will realise just how spacious this home is. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two internal living areas and two external decks.
The narrow lot measures approx 518m² and also accommodates a side garden, carport and garage.
The prime location is an easy walk to the Bendigo CBD, the hospital precinct, Lake Weeroona, Rosalind Park, the Arts precinct, schools and a selection of local eateries.
The fastidiously renovated and extended home has all the hard work - restumping, rewiring, replumbing completed, and a new roof added.
Stepping from the cast-iron-lace trimmed front verandah, you are greeted by a long hallway opening to third bedroom/study first up. It's followed by the main suite (with a wall of robes, ensuite and split system air con.) and the second bedroom before it opens to the central lounge featuring an open fireplace with timber mantle.
The main bathroom boasts a relaxing spa bath, and the adjacent laundry has loads of storage and bench space.
Finally, the hallway ends with spacious open style living, dining and kitchen areas. The living room opens to a covered and enclosed courtyard deck with an outdoor kitchen ready for year-round alfresco dining/entertaining. It includes a gas barbecue and cooktop complemented by range hoods, cabinetry and a sink.
Back inside, the kitchen is ready for gourmet cooks with a gas cooktop, double wall oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, corner pantry and ample cabinetry.
A second little deck beside the kitchen offers the ultimate private place to enjoy breakfast overlooking the side garden.
Access to lock-up carport and garage/office/workshop is via Bailes Street at the rear.
Only an internal inspection will do this fabulous (& surprising) home the justice it deserves.
It offers the best in privacy, position, character, style and amazing space.
