15 Hamelin Street, White Hills, Vic 3550

Lovers of all things retro will appreciate this classic home built in the mid forties. Fashionable and prestigious for its time, it would have been worthy of a place on the pages of the Australian Home Beautiful magazine back then. The solid-brick construction retains many distinguishing features of its era including wide entry hall with high, ornate ceilings, double-hung sash windows, polished hardwood ­floors, quaint timber servery doors and cabinetry between kitchen and dining room and a feature tapestry-brick replace surround with timber mantel and ­flanked by display cabinets finished with etched glass doors on either side in the lounge room. Three large and light bedrooms all have built-in robes while the bathroom has recently had a stunning vintage-themed makeover. It's all glossy black-and white tiles with a frameless shower screen, wc and retro pedestal hand basin. The remodeled timber kitchen is equipped with gas hotplates, electric wall oven, breakfast bar and ample cabinetry. Modern comforts include gas log-fire in the lounge, ducted heating and two split system units. Outside a very private covered, paved full length entertainment area overlooks a lush fernery and
lawn area for the kids to play in the secure back yard. Sited on corner allotment of about 693 square metres with twin garages with auto doors accessed from both streets. Located opposite the Bendigo Botanical Gardens and walking distance to preschool centre, schools and public transport. A classic and heart warming home for retro types.
