Take a note from the design files of 10 Honeysuckle Street to see how the new breed of renovators create magic. This outstanding new listing, on the doorstep of cosmopolitan Bendigo, quite simply re-writes the standard. Although it presents as a humble weatherboard cottage behind a white picket fence, the house is practically brand new. Consider all new stumps, wiring, plumbing, plaster, paint and a new roof and you’ve got a solid base to last the decades ahead. There’s been just as much care and attention-to-detail go into the aesthetics, as you can see from these magazine-worthy photographs. The smart new floorplan features three bedrooms, two bathrooms and open-plan living. The master suite has a walk-in-robe, in addition to its ensuite. Both bathrooms are right on-trend with beautiful tiles. The scandi-cool kitchen is a true standout. Note the black accents and appliances, the ceiling-height tiling, dual wall ovens, wide open waterfall island and beautiful butler’s pantry. This relaxed living space has big timber-framed windows dressed with blinds and sheers that gently sweep the warm vinyl plank floor. Year-round ambient temperature control is assured via reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling throughout the home. A heavy glass sliding door opens to the undercover deck, with downlights and designer ceiling fan. There’s plenty of off-street parking beside the house thanks to the side carriageway, which leads to a double shed, with a bonus third bathroom. Leave the car at home and walk into town, which is just 1.3km away, past the Sacred Heart Cathedral. Or, generous owners may see the amazing rental or Airbnb potential here.
