A most prestigious address for a most prestigious home nestled in the absolute heart of Bendigo.
A sense of permanence and privacy is evident as soon as you enter the front gate and take in the absolute beauty of the brick work, front return verandah and iron lacework. This timeless beauty has come a long way since being built in 1906. Brilliantly remodelled and extended to perfection keeping the integrity of the home true to its era.

Massive entrance hall starts your tour of this house of hidden depths.
Main bedroom with its original overmantel and fire place features, windows to the front and side verandah. The dimensions of this room and every other room will surely impress. Pressed metal ceilings and stunning hall archways all in keeping with a residence built for the family requiring a stately home. Wonderful lounge with leadlight windows, side door opening onto front verandah, marble overmantel and once again pressed metal ceilings.

Storage is also abundant in the home with plenty of fine tall cupboards in the hallway and bathroom.

Two bathrooms that have been designed for functionality and family use, quality fixtures and fittings and well thought out plan.

Through to the informal sitting room, light a fire in this wonderful fire place and curl up with a glass of wine and a book, for a very lazy Sunday. This leads to the kitchen with the natural beauty of timber and the efficient work area which can only be the best kitchen you will ever cook in. A delightful feature here is the office nook, once again with views over to the Cathedral; Doing your books here would be a delight.
