11 Baxter Street Bendigo VIC

Location and potential will make this Baxter Street cottage top of the list for inner-city buyers. The Victorian-style home and stellar position are a rare combination in today’s market, and this one is even attainable for first-home buyers and investors. A trademark front veranda opens to a central hallway with as-new timber-look vinyl floor. There are three carpeted bedrooms and one retains its classic timber mantelpiece. The central lounge room is also carpeted, with a gas heater and ceiling fan. This flows through to a cute eat-in kitchen, kept cosy with a wood heater at its heart. A mix of functional cupboards and an upright gas stove will get you cooking, while the golden timber-lined ceiling brings the character. A further space off the kitchen could be used for more storage, a study or even an extra bedroom. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, while in a throwback to the era, the functional laundry and loo are located outside. Beyond the back porch is back lane car access, and the neat rear yard has the potential to become a great entertaining space, as an alternative to dining in Bendigo’s award-winning bars and restaurants, which are all just a short walk away. If walking is your thing, this property is right by the Havlin Street Trail, which leads to Spring Gully one way, Lake Weeroona the other. Who’s up for a fun project and a CBD lifestyle? Better get your sneakers on! **Please note: Photos were taken prior to existing tenant moving in.
