STEP BACK IN TIME WITH THIS HISTORIC STUNNER
What an opportunity with potential to subdivide “STCA” - located in popular Quarry Hill and an easy 10 minute walk to the centre of Bendigo, is this absolutely gorgeous Victorian weatherboard property. Walking distance to primary and secondary schools, as well as La Trobe University, the home features an abundance of original features. With a picket fence; cottage front garden, wrought iron fretwork, original timber flooring; 12-feet high timber-lined ceilings; decorative cornice and corbels; and stunning stain-glass windows throughout, this character-filled property offers so much possibility.

Thanks to the period of the home, the front four rooms of the property are generously proportioned, and each feature a splendid open fireplace. Due to the size and shape of each room, and their beautiful original features, they offer a wonderfully flexible opportunity to utilise them in a variety of ways. Ideally used as bedrooms, the spaces could also serve as reception rooms, a formal lounge, or a lovely home office.

One of the rooms off the main hall is perfectly suited to serve a master suite, thanks to a spacious walk-in robe leading into a dual-access family bathroom. The roll-top, claw foot bathtub is perfectly in keeping with the era of the home, and slate flooring and a timber vanity is also a nod to the era. The bathroom leads out to a small hallway with a separate toilet and a large laundry, offering a door leading to the backyard.

The main hallway and smaller hall from the bathroom both lead into a large open plan living, kitchen and dining space. Whilst this large room is an extension off the original home, it is sympathetically added with slate flooring, timber cabinets, timber dado boards and French doors opening out to a deck at both the rear and the side of the home.

The French doors lead onto the large deck and sweeping verandah that cover the entire rear of the property and wrap around to one side. Stepping down from the deck, the large block is apparent with an open lawn space and beautiful views across Greater Bendigo National Park and La Trobe University.

Additional features include:
Ducted evaporative cooling and ducted heating
Four-burner electric cooktop and oven with separate grill in kitchen
Access from both sides of the property into the rear garden
Spacious backyard with secure fencing
Double garage
Beautiful, original heritage features throughout

Take this opportunity to secure a wonderful slice of local history with this centrally located Victorian-era property. Close to all amenities and offering a simple, classic design with plenty of original detail, the flexibility of this home ensures that it is ideally suited to a variety of buyers. With a large yard, double garage and secure fencing, this property offers the perfect mix of charm and practicality.
