If ever there was a property ripe for development, this is it. The new Smith Street listing is in the sweet spot for some much-deserved love and attention. Not to mention subdivision, subject to council approval. With easy side access to a big backyard, it’s an enticing prospect to investigate splitting the 935m2 block. Imagine a nice little parcel of buildable land, within one kilometre of beautiful Lake Weeroona, and two kilometres of the Bendigo Hospital. There’s plenty of nostalgia to be found in the original weatherboard home, with its neat street appeal. Note the concrete drive and paths, the cream brick chimney and decorative iron by the front porch. The home opens to more features of the period, being higher ceilings and decorative cornice. An L-shaped hallway separates the living rooms from the three bedrooms. The separate lounge retains its glazed brick hearth and triple picture window. The eat-in kitchen must be appreciated for its original two-toned timber cabinets and curved benchtop with aluminium trim. Updated floor coverings and a freestanding stove deem it 100 per cent usable. It’d almost be a shame to renovate! The bathroom is likewise likable thanks to its pink pedestal basin and matching bath. There’s a separate toilet and sizable laundry. Outside, take the footpath to the Hills Hoist, garden shed or two-car shed/workshop with concrete floor and power. And behold that big blank canvas beyond… This is one of those little gems that we look forward to seeing who picks and polishes!
