30 Prouses Road, North Bendigo, Vic 3550

This grand old lady of the Victorian era is not afraid to put all her heritage features on show. From the street, she?s a real head turner, with a stunning lacework verandah, detailed pendant brackets and verandah posts, casement chimneys and coloured-glass sidelights.
Inside, there are abundant reminders of the era too, making this home the perfect candidate for a full-scale renovation. Fourteen-foot ceilings are a good start, with beautifully decorative architraves and domed ceiling roses in the two front bedrooms. The formal lounge room has a decorative timber fire surround with a unique ?teardrop? mirror, while the adjacent third bedroom (or dining room) has a marble inlay fireplace ? a wonderful reminder of the home?s Victorian past. The kitchen and bathroom will benefit from a modern makeover, but the original wood stove will make a great centerpiece to any renovation. There?s also timber cabinetry and a Chef electric upright stove. Outside the backdoor is a raised patio area for alfresco dining, and to the side is a convenient second toilet and the laundry. A single carport with a pitched roof, fits nicely with the style of the home, and there?s good access along the side of the house if you needed to store extra vehicles or a caravan. And while you?re planning your renovation, this property could still bring you a return on your investment. It would take minimal work to have it ready for tenants. Close to schools, a convenience store and the showgrounds, this great location is also just minutes from the CBD. This historic home presents an incredible opportunity at an affordable price.
