349 Barnard Street BENDIGO VIC

Located right on the doorstep of the Bendigo CBD is this attractive period home that is as ripe as the season to unleash its full potential. Renovate/extend or occupy/lease as is, the choice is yours and with an affordable entry level price tag, this could be your lucky ticket into an otherwise tightly held and inflated CBD market. Enjoy the coveted city lifestyle in a location that offers a short walk to all that Bendigo has to offer. Walk to restaurants, cafes, shops, View Street Arts Precinct, the QEO, Bendigo Aquatic Centre and all the wonderful amenities the city is renowned for. The home is set on a good sized inner city allotment with a shallow setback to the front, meaning there is lots of scope to extend or even put in a pool at the rear! Featuring a partially updated floorplan that is very comfortable and liveable for now, there is still work to be done here and so much scope to improve your asset. Newly polished floorboards adorn throughout, high ceilings and open fire places are a throwback to the period, and the look and smell of a fresh paint job is evident as soon as you walk inside. Currently configured as two bedrooms at the front, the master includes built in robes and a brick fireplace. The living space in the centre of the home is considerably larger than you’d expect for a two bedroom home, and includes split system unit and heater. The kitchen is vintage but is more than serviceable for now, and functions well next to the separate dining room at the rear, which could possibly be converted to a third bedroom if needed. Completing the internal layout is the renovated laundry and four piece bathroom at the rear. Outside is a blank canvass for your ideas. There is off street parking available, an existing single car garage or shed, and a deceptive amount of yard space to work with. There is a covered alfresco option to the side of the house which will suffice for now, but there is huge scope to design your own awesome outdoor entertaining area and garden, and don’t forget the possibility of a pool and shed as well? This one has all the traits to be extremely popular and in demand. We all know how hectic the Bendigo market is at the moment, but when you see something like this in such a great location with loads of potential, it’s an absolute no brainer at a fantastic price!
