Oh boy, is this a beauty! With a stellar Flora Hill location and a renovation to match, properties like these are rare and precious gems. This classic triple-fronted weatherboard is better than brand new, for it comes with that elusive character we’re all searching for. Venture by the picket fence, step up into the elevated front porch and you’ll feel right at home-sweet-home. Three generous bedrooms with built-in-robes enjoy views of a classic Bendigo neighbourhood that’s been loved for generations. Within the home original features have been preserved and amplified; such as polished hardwood floors, timber sash windows and ornate cornices. The upgrades are all style. For starters, take the luxury bathroom, with under-tile heating, under-vanity lighting, a 1.5metre walk-in shower and double sinks in the stone vanity. It’s gorgeous. You’ll likewise fall for the central timber kitchen, which rivals any other in size. There’s a fabulous island bench to extend the dining options, a pantry and quality appliances. The adjacent formal dining room flows through to a huge 7 x 5 metre loungeroom, with a wall of windows and French doors looking out onto the garden. With ducted heated and cooling, new carpet, fresh paint, a bonus study nook and fabulous storage, the current owners have thought of everything. Outside living is also a joy. The garden and landscaping is just lovely, and with a separate paved pergola, can be enjoyed all year round. With La Trobe University and Bendigo South East College as neighbours, Hammer Street will always be an investment winner. It’s just minutes to the city centre via car or public transport. Come for the location, stay for the love of it.
