Is Buckley Street one of Bendigo’s best kept secrets? We think so. It’s quiet, has a good dose of heritage charm, is about 500 metres to the top of View Street and an easy stroll down the hill to the city’s arts precinct. Here’s your chance to downsize, invest or simply settle in with the neighbourhood in a private rear unit so spacious it feels more like a house. There are two bedrooms, each with a built-in-robe, a bathroom with shower and bath, a modern kitchen, plus living room. This large open-plan dining/lounge has ample space for a full suite of furniture, so there’s likely no need to cull if you’re downsizing. Ducted air conditioning and a gas wall furnace also feature. The classic brick veneer has all the hallmarks of being solid and low on maintenance; especially considering all the upgrades. In recent times this home has been repainted, re-carpeted, and refurbished with new bathroom and kitchen. The latter features a pantry, overhead cupboards and breakfast bar, again delivering far more space than expected in a unit. Outside, there’s not one but two undercover alfresco areas and a leafy fernery. In fact, all the gardens add a wealth of value to the property. As does a single lock-up garage, plus further vehicle parking. Again, the location is a winner, being less than 2km from the absolute centre of the CBD.
