89 Wills Street Bendigo VIC

You can’t get much closer to the action than this cute period home in Wills Street. Located just before the turn off to the Bendigo Marketplace, and approximately two blocks from the cinema guarantees a convenient and cosmopolitan lifestyle amongst your local pubs and cafes. Such a sweet spot just a short walk from the train station also gives off excellent potential Airbnb vibes. Then again, you’d be forgiven for claiming the property as your own place to call home. The façade has plenty of charm thanks to a picket fence, art deco leadlight windows a small arched porch and dual brick chimneys rising above. The front door, also with lead lighting, opens to a cosy carpeted loungeroom and a high ceiling. The original ceiling rose is a gorgeous feature, and there’s a wood heater for winter warmth in the brick hearth. There are two bedrooms; one with a beautiful ornate timber mantlepiece, the other with a bonus built-in-robe. You’ll be pleased to find a second cosy open-plan living area at the back, with timber dado boards, a gas heater and split system. A breakfast bar separates this area from the spic-and-span kitchen, with its gas upright stove and pantry cupboard. The other wet areas consist of a bathroom, with shower over the bath, a separate toilet and a neat laundry behind double cupboard doors. You have the convenience of rear yard access off a lane way that leads you in to the securely fenced area, with a garden shed and some red brick paving. It’s easy to picture this area reimagined as a secret courtyard garden in the city. There’s plenty to love about this neat and charming little package, starting with its location. Value add by extending up into the skyline or the rear of the home (STCA)
