7 Carpenter Street, Bendigo, Vic 3550

Properties of this calibre and vintage don't appear on the market too often. Circa 1900's this beautiful rambling period home boasts 4 spacious bedrooms, three generously sized living areas including a formal dining room with optimal views of the garden and a study (or 5th bedroom) on a large block in one of Bendigo's premier locations. The property is enclosed by beautiful mature trees that provide a retreat from the summer heat.
With 12ft ceilings and polished baltic pine floorboards, this home is considerably larger than it looks from the street frontage. From the verandah in the front, to the gorgeous balcony with an adjoining sunroom that overlooks the established backyard, this home is rich in period features like; working fireplaces, leadlight windows, wooden fretwork and balustrade on the staircase. You will appreciate the butler's kitchen with the double pantry and the extra convenience of a second toilet downstairs. With minor cosmetic work, the kitchen and bathroom could easily be updated. The home has the added benefit of a family living area complete with an Australian Blackwood library that is naturally cool all summer long. When you finally tear yourself away from the wonders of the interior you will be greeted by the lovely garden at the rear of the property. Relax by the wonderful pond area with its own running brook that attracts many of the local bird species. There are several artist pieces of wrought iron used in the garden that generates a magical atmosphere.
At the rear of the backyard are two small workshops.
