A landmark period home with space, views and presence
Positioned high between Lily and Honeysuckle Streets at the top end of inner-city Bendigo, this substantial period residence sits on an elevated 779sqm allotment, capturing wide views to the south and south-west. With over 31 squares of living, five bedrooms and multiple living zones, the home offers both the character of its era and the space required for modern family life – all within walking distance of Violet Street Primary and just 1.2km from Girton Grammar School.
The original home retains its sense of history, while a considered extension has expanded the footprint to accommodate the way families live now.
• Period details remain a defining feature, with pressed metal ceilings, polished timber floors, decorative cornices, leadlight and sash windows, and original fireplaces with overmantels throughout the home.
• The floorplan provides five bedrooms, including three with built-in robes, supported by two bathrooms, including a large central family bathroom with bath.
• Multiple living areas are spread across the home, including a formal lounge, sitting room, dining room with reading area, family living adjoining the kitchen and a rear rumpus – ideal as a kids/teen retreat or another private study area.
• Open fireplaces, ducted gas heating and multiple split systems ensure comfort across seasons and across zones.
• A study nook offers a practical space for work or study without taking over a full room.
• The kitchen has been recently updated in a long galley layout with an island bench, extensive storage and a walk-in pantry. Marble-look tiles and feature pendant lighting bring a contemporary finish while maintaining connection to the home’s character.
• The kitchen/family zone opens directly to an undercover outdoor dining area, making it easy to move between indoor and outdoor spaces.
• Verandahs and outdoor nooks are positioned to take advantage of the home’s elevated aspect and shifting light throughout the day.
• A securely fenced in-ground pool sits below the verandah, framed by paved surrounds and beautiful established trees and garden.
• A large laundry and additional storage spaces support the practical needs of a home of this scale.
This is a home that carries its history well, while offering the space and flexibility needed for a large or growing family. With its position, scale and outlook, it remains closely connected to Bendigo’s city centre and everyday amenities, while still feeling set apart.
