Who’s looking for an affordable Bendigo heritage home? Here it is, complete with bull-nosed veranda and a sweet picket fence. Set your clock to the train whistle in railway-side Breen Street, and enjoy the gentle bustle of life on the city fringe. Share your neighbourhood with the local bakery, hotel and primary school, in this historic pocket of Quarry Hill. The Victorian cottage has been modernised for life in the here and now, while retaining its period heart. Coveted features include high, timber-lined ceilings, exposed red bricks and ornate timber mantelpieces surrounding open fireplaces in the loungeroom and one bedroom. There are three bedrooms here, all with built-in robes and pale grey carpet. The central lounge brings the charm, while the rear open-plan kitchen and dining space is looking sharp. An updated all-while Laminex kitchen has an under-bench oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and practical pot drawers. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, and connects directly to the laundry and loo. A single French door by the dining space opens to an elevated undercover rear deck. Below this, a landscaped backyard is fully fenced and secure. Roller doors open to a double carport, which also serves as an entertainment space. Enjoy this charming home as is, or bring your energy and ideas to further value add to what is already a loveable example of early goldfields architecture.
