MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE WITH THIS ART DECO DELIGHT
Built in 1935, this charming weatherboard bungalow sits in an elevated position in tightly-held Quarry Hill. Located adjacent to Quarry Hill Primary School, the property is walking distance to all amenities including Bendigo’s CBD, the train station and La Trobe University. Full of Art Deco-era original detail, including timber flooring, decorative cornice and ceiling roses, doors, picture railing and sash windows, the property offers plenty of appeal.
A neat front garden and brick paved path leads to the front verandah and double original doors open into a formal entry. To one side is a spacious master bedroom with fantastic built-in robes, a ceiling fan and an ensuite with bathtub.
