The address of this new listing should hint at something special. Situated opposite the historic Hustlers Reef Reserve, this home is in the domain of old gold Bendigo, mere metres from the prestigious Barkly Terrace precinct. With the potential of subdivision or adding a second dwelling at rear (STCA), the possibilities are endless. The property represents an affordable entry into one of the city’s best locations, just beyond the arts precinct and less than a block’s walk to both the Old Boundary Hotel and Catherine McAuley College, and a short walk to Bendigo Health. The original brick veneer home is in beautiful condition, having been loved and well-maintained, both inside and out. Enjoy as is, or get creative and capitalise on the position and the 713m2 block. The neat and friendly floorplan features a small entrance hall, a large loungeroom, kitchen/meals area and three bigger-than-average bedrooms. Both the main bedroom and the lounge enjoy a sunny aspect, with big picture windows making the most of the orientation. At 4 x 6metres, the living room has space to move, and features a gas heater, wall air-conditioner and ceiling fan. The kitchen is in terrific original condition and has a gas upright stove and sink under the window. The three-piece bathroom, separate loo and laundry are traditionally located at the back of the home. Outside, the property truly shines. Enjoy a classic garden of blooming roses and shade trees, lush lawns and a cool fernery. There is a single carport and clear side vehicle access into the backyard. The reserve opposite adds to the feeling of leafy peace and quiet, albeit just a 15-minute walk from all the action of inner-city Bendigo. Enjoy the Faith Leech Aquatic Centre, the Queen Elizabeth Oval, the Bendigo Art Gallery and the boutique shops and cafes of View Street, which are all approximately 1km away, and walking distance to Bendigo Senior Secondary College, and both Camp Hill and St Peters Primary schools.
