Bendigo VIC 3550

Fast forward to 1993, when the current owners secured their long-admired property. Their labour of love over a 31-year custodianship has taken it to another level by carefully fusing elegance, comfort and contemporary style to create the perfect partnership of period grandeur and private paradise.

The light-filled entry foyer with 14' ceilings, deep decorative cornices, polished timber floors and leadlight-glazed sidelights sets the tone for many more period details.

Accommodation includes three large bedrooms with open fireplaces and two with unique arched built-in robes. The music room features a light-reflecting lead crystal chandelier and access to the side verandah. The 1930s lounge boasts restored wall and ceiling panelling and leadlight bay windows, while a gas log fire, Axminster carpet and velvet drapes add a cosy ambience.
The large dining room showcases an open fireplace with a black marble mantlepiece and polished Baltic pine floors a grand setting for formal dinner parties or large family feasts.
The bathroom has an antique mahogany vanity unit, shower, and spa bath. A powder room and a walk-in linen/store complete the original section.
Expect jaw-dropping first impressions when you enter the dual-level, solid brick extension where high windows fill the open-style family living, dining and kitchen with natural light.
Cooking will be a joy in the chef-worthy kitchen with 900mm cooking appliances, twin dishwashers/microwaves, a Rylex roll-out pantry and cabinetry, and a substantial stone-topped island bench for casual dining.
Or gravitate through bi-fold glass doors to relax and unwind on the elevated deck overlooking the vine-draped rear garden adorned with fairy lights.

The extension includes the laundry, 2nd bathroom, WC and a reclaimed redgum staircase to the 1870s basement, where an indoor family fun zone awaits. There's a study area, a games/pool room, a no-expenses spared home theatre, a gym/workshop and storage tucked into every available space, including a home safe.

More entertainment awaits in the garage when it transforms into party central with a 22' screen and projector, a sound system, 2 x split system air cons., extensive overhead/floor lighting and polished concrete floors. When not rocking a party, it garages up to 4 cars through remote roller doors off Bright Street.

The tropical oasis-inspired pool/spa and barbecue area is the ultimate setting for summer fun.
Family and friends will love the 9.5m solar-heated pool and spa surrounded by travertine paving and lush ferns. Throw a shrimp on the barbie under the pergola with granite-topped cupboards and fridge or enjoy a drink under the twinkling lights while your favourite music plays through the sound system.

All this grace and space is an ultra-convenient 4-minute walk to the Bendigo Railway Station, Marketplace and CBD.

If this sounds like your dream home, you won't be disappointed. It has much more to offer than what you see here!
It offers timeless elegance, luxury and a stunning inner-city lifestyle - proving you can have it all.
