199 Queen Street BENDIGO VIC

Adding to its premier street address on the edge of the Bendigo CBD, this gorgeous Victorian residence offers versatility, a warm personality and some fabulous points of difference rarely seen in today’s market! Private and secure behind the traditional white picket fence, this quirky and character filled home with a unique rustic charm lies in very close proximity to all major amenities including shopping, cafes and restaurant. And with petrol prices at an all time high, why not leave the car at home and walk or ride to the office? A neutrally white exterior and a bull nose veranda typical of the era greet you before revealing a flexible floor plan within. The home is in very solid structural order and is cosy and comfortable to live as it is. Cosmetically, the choice is yours to keep the quirky and eclectic theme going as it presents now, or update to reflect your tastes or personality. Whatever you decide, it is a great place to reside (or even invest as an Airbnb?), and the location will ensure you don’t over capitalise. There are many of the features from the period that we love, including high ceilings, timber floors and windows, decorative cornice/ceilings, and fireplaces in almost every room. Currently configured as three good sized bedrooms off a central hallway, all have built in robes and fireplaces. The main bathroom is quirky, with mostly timber trimmings, shower, spa bath and even a fire place – something to behold! There are two living spaces, the central lounge is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect winter room for a glass of red wine and a good book, with a working fireplace as its focal point. The light filled family room at the rear is part of an open plan extension which incorporates the kitchen and dining space, where big timber and glass sliding doors open on to the outdoor courtyard. The industrial style kitchen is rustic and open, but is fully equipped and functional for the household chef, with 900mm cooking appliances, timber benchtops and a mix of free-standing and fixed cupboards. And there is even a cellar for the wine lovers out there! Split system heating and cooling control the temperature in this part of the home, in addition to ducted heating and ceiling fans. Outside the property boasts a private and secure yard typical of an inner city property, measuring a manageable 528m2 (approx). A lovely sunny courtyard space lies at the rear, with even more room for future alfresco entertaining ideas. There is established gardens and trees (including a beautiful old Oak tree) which are pretty in all seasons of the year, as well as productive fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Off street parking is supplied in the form of a double length carport and a detached workshop/shed is powered, and would convert to a studio with a little TLC. This beautiful and unique offering has so much potential, and is ideal for buyers looking for an inner city lifestyle opportunity for the now or into the future to downsize into.
