Bendigo Real Estate is proud to present one of the golden suburb's quintessential miner's cottages, circa 1871.
This precious link to Bendigo's architectural past has been lovingly updated and refurbished over the years to become a cute and comfortable home with a whole lot of character.
Features of the era include a classic front veranda and twin brick chimneys, timber floorboards, timber-lined ceilings and double hung windows.
The floorplan has been opened up for modern living and consists of three good-sized bedrooms, a wide front loungeroom, and open-plan kitchen/dining area with open fireplace.
The updated kitchen is ready to cater for a family. It has wide pot drawers, a dishwasher, stainless steel 900mm under-bench oven, cooktop and rangehood and a pantry cupboard. The timber benchtop, sunny wall tiles and terracotta-toned floor tiles bring plenty of warmth to the space.
The three -piece bathroom features a deep clawfoot bath underneath a leadlight window.
Outside, a raised deck effectively doubles the living space. It has a high raked roofline, built-in bench space and views across the cottage garden, where flower and vegetable beds are flourishing.
A single carport, picket fences and big old shade trees add to the picture-perfect cottage lifestyle.
Other notables are split system heating and cooling and a recent paint job, meaning there's little maintenance to come.
The home is at the far, quiet end of wide Ophir Street, and backs onto an historic mining reserve, re-purposed with walking tracks and trees. This really is authentic heritage Bendigo, which despite its vintage, is never out of fashion.
