165 Don Street BENDIGO VIC

Situated in the heart of the Girton Grammar precinct is this beautiful elevated Victorian Home with views to Sacred Heart Cathedral and Bendigo surrounds. The home was basically rebuilt and extended in 2001 adding a small extension, ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling and restoration of charming inclusions such as open fire places with beautiful mantels; picture rails, pressed metal ceilings, ceiling roses and leadlight to many of the windows. From the beautiful front veranda there is a lovely wide timber passage way leading to the back of the home – off the passage are three large bedrooms all with open fire places and mantels; a separate carpeted lounge with box window and gas log heater; and a formal living space boasting polished Tassie Oak floors and French Doors to the front of the home. The timber kitchen offers room for an informal meals space; has gas hot plates and electric under bench oven, ample bench space and sliding door access to the covered outdoor alfresco living space and views. There is a spacious bathroom with ornate tiling, bath, vanity, separate shower and basin; three cupboards and a separate toilet space; adjacent is the laundry. Outside there is a single carport with safe passage from an elevated private access point and parking for a second vehicle; the garden surrounds and tallish fences offer privacy, there is a lovely courtyard space and large, private alfresco area. This home is fantastic – only requires minimal cosmetic work to regain its former stature!!
