86 Violet Street, Bendigo VIC,3550 Australia
Part of the attractive, heritage Montanvert Precinct, this elevated period home sits on a sizeable allotment and welcomes a unique opportunity. With the original elements of the property dating back to the early 1900s, much of the detail in these sections has been retained – including 16-foot ceilings, picture railing, sash windows, and timber fretwork. Additions to the home over the decades have maintained the grand proportions and ensure this is a footprint that could be re-worked or reconfigured to truly suit the requirements of the buyer. Absolutely perfect for someone seeking a project with fantastic scope.
- Excellent city-central locale: walk to CBD and multiple city attractions including Central Deborah Goldmine and Sacred Heart Cathedral
- Flexible floorplan
- Many original features including sash windows, timber fretwork, picture railing and 16-foot ceilings in original sections
- Large shed at rear of allotment (3 x bays plus enclosed workshop plus storage area)
Hidden away behind a mature garden, the property features a carport near the entry and a long driveway down one side of the house. The front door opens into a central hallway, the length of which leads you through the many decades of life in this unique property. To one side of the entry is a spacious room with high ceilings, large enough to serve as a kitchen, living and dining space. An oven, cabinetry, and an open pantry reveal its previous usage, but the room, as with others, could be utilised in a variety of ways. Across the hall is a large bedroom, and further along, two additional rooms that could also serve as bedrooms. Steps lead up to a spa, powder room and shower room at one side.
At the rear of the home are two additional large living areas, along with a bathroom and a retro style kitchen with original detail, including a wood-burning stove. The large garden features meandering brick-paved paths, stone steps, and the shaded lawn area at the bottom of the allotment is the perfect space to enjoy the outdoors. A shed, with three bays and a workshop, provides excellent undercover parking and storage, and a porch at the rear of the home offers a good-sized alfresco area. With plenty of possibility, this is a property that could be truly amazing.
