Ideally positioned on one of Bendigo’s most prestigious streets is this stunning 1909-built Federation Bungalow. Reminiscent of the British Colonial Bungalows in India and Ceylon during that era, the property features unique heritage detail including a high hipped roof, wide verandah around three sides and Western Red Cedar throughout.
Built by agent and investor, Ernst C Mueller, the original home was replaced by this grand character-filled property, however the original 1870s stable block remains and continues to serve as an additional space today.
The verandah leads to one side of the house where the striking formal entry takes you back in time. Timber lined ceilings and ornate timber fretwork beautifully complement the high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms. Two large living areas open off the main entry – one currently serving as a dining room – and both rooms feature fireplaces with original mantels. At the rear of the home is a large open plan kitchen and dining room. This light-filled space is fully renovated to a high standard and, with a contemporary finish and ample storage, blends seamlessly with the traditional detail elsewhere. Off the kitchen, there is a laundry, shower and toilet.
The property offers four bedrooms. The master is at the front of the home and this sizeable room includes French doors out to the verandah. A newly renovated family bathroom positioned between the bedrooms provides modern comforts.
Outside, the established garden still presents in the original Edwardian-style and includes elms that were planted at the time the house was built. Paved brick paths in both the front and rear garden lead to sunny terraces, or find space to enjoy a shady spot to rest. An expansive timber deck leads off the back of the house creating an excellent entertaining space and at the rear of the allotment is a level lawn area, undercover paved alfresco, double garage with rear lane access and character-filled two storey original brick stables.
