Energetic renovators can take inspiration from the neighbouring properties around 2 Webster Street, starting with the heritage terrace homes next door. In recent years this area has been given some much-deserved recognition and attention. In one of Bendigo’s most historic pockets, the address is also right on the edge of the arts precinct, or just a 10-minute leisurely walk to The Bendigo Art Gallery, the Capital, the Queen Elizabeth oval, plus the cafes and restaurants of View Street. Savvy investors may even recognise the fantastic Airbnb potential here. The property is clearly ready for a full renovation. Bring the lovely old bones to life again, taking advantage of the high ceilings, timber floorboards and sash windows throughout. At 3.6 x 4.3 metres, the bedroom and living are bright, spacious and airy. There’s a central dining room and small kitchen with upright gas stove and breakfast bar. The internal bathroom has a shower over the bath and a toilet, and there’s a second loo and laundry off the rear vestibule. The unique façade of this cute cottage is instantly recognisable to anyone who regularly takes the sweeping bend of Don Street from Bendigo to the northern suburbs. The property has a wonderful sense of place, being on the high side of the road, looking down across the city. Just imagine the changes this house has seen, as it sits in readiness for its own next chapter.
