Set along one of Bendigo’s most distinguished streets, this exceptional residence is a seamless fusion of heritage grace and contemporary refinement. Behind its charming period façade, a meticulous renovation has transformed this home into a sophisticated yet serene retreat—where history is honoured, and modern living is elevated.

Stepping onto the front verandah, framed by delicate iron lacework and lush greenery, the home’s timeless appeal is immediately apparent. Inside, grand proportions, polished timber floors, and original stained glass windows whisper stories of its past, while a series of thoughtful updates bring a fresh, luxurious edge.

At the heart of the home, the newly reimagined kitchen is a study in both style and function. Crisp stone benchtops contrast beautifully with full-height cabinetry, while state-of-the-art appliances make culinary pursuits a pleasure. A subtle reconfiguration has introduced an elegant ensuite to the master bedroom, where French doors open to a private verandah nook—an idyllic spot for morning coffee as the world stirs awake. Meanwhile, three additional bedrooms share a refined, fully renovated bathroom, while a spacious laundry has been enhanced with an extra toilet and shower.

Beyond the interiors, the property’s setting is nothing short of extraordinary. Positioned just moments from the arts precinct, Queen Elizabeth Oval, and Bendigo’s bustling café scene, this home offers a coveted central lifestyle while retaining a rare sense of sanctuary. Dual access from Rosalind Lane ensures seamless entry, with a double garage providing secure off-street parking—an enviable asset in this premier locale.

A true jewel of the property is the original stables, thoughtfully restored and repurposed. With power, plumbing, and climate control, this versatile space lends itself to a myriad of possibilities—an artist’s studio, guest accommodation, or a stylish workshop, all within the home’s historic footprint.

Framing the residence, the gardens are a private, botanical haven. Towering trees and manicured hedges create a cocoon of tranquillity. At the heart of the backyard, a sleek new lap pool takes centre stage, bordered by a broad timber deck—perfect for alfresco dining, sun-drenched afternoons, or moonlit gatherings.

Every inch of this home has been considered, every detail carefully curated to strike the perfect balance between past and present. A rare offering in one of Bendigo’s most tightly held locations, this residence is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, an experience, and a timeless work of art.
