34 Arnold Street Bendigo VIC

Here it is; a classic Victorian home in an inner-city street, with all the integrity of the era. Be captivated by the period façade of bull nosed veranda and leadlight sash windows, then step inside to find a warm and charming home that’s presented to perfection, this home just feels right!! It’s easy to imagine moving your life here, where you can likely walk to work then spend the weekend at neighbourhood heroes, the Percy and Percy Café and Lake Weeroona. And if work is at the Bendigo Hospital, that’s even better, as it’s just a few blocks up the hill. The floorplan defies its cottage status, having been extended and opened up for modern living. The entrance hall reveals the high ceilings which bring an added sense of light and space to the whole house. Three bedrooms have lovely heritage features, such as timber-lined ceilings. One has a cast iron fireplace with timber mantlepiece. A central loungeroom has another cute mantelpiece. From here the home opens up to a spacious kitchen/dining/living room. The bespoke timber kitchen has polished floorboards, a pantry cupboard, breakfast bar, dishwasher, under bench oven and gas cooktop, and most importantly, loads of character. Simply add your own vintage finds for the full effect. The living space has ceiling fans, plus split system heating and cooling, and a wall-to-wall glass sliding door with a northerly aspect. Some clever planning means the bathroom houses the laundry, linen press and separate loo, along with a fully tiled huge shower nook and a deep feature tub. Outside, an elevated undercover deck provides yet more living space. There’s even room with the two-car garage & workshop, tucked away nicely to the rear of the yard, with easy vehicle access. If you have an eye for goldfields-era heritage homes, don’t let this one get away without a quick inspection. It’s a pleasure to view.
