1 Black Street, Long Gully VIC 3550

This cute heritage cottage comes with loads of personality and a simple wish for the future; colour me happy!

Yes, there is work needed, but it will be a richly rewarding task to keep sprucing up this sweet little home from the golden past.

The corner property is located in a city-fringe heritage neighbourhood, just 1.5km uphill from the Bendigo Art Gallery.

Its classic cottage façade and veranda with timber deck is straight from a story book. Its garden is well loved and maintained, with established trees and pretty flower beds.

The front door opens to the loungeroom, which has been updated with a vinyl plank floor, ceiling fan and gas heater set within a brick hearth.

Two bedrooms are oh so cosy, with grey carpets and split systems. The eat-in black-and-white Laminex kitchen is a ripper. It has a 600mm freestanding stainless-steel stove, a dishwasher and a single pantry cupboard.

The bathroom is another updated space, with a shower over the bath and a practical vanity.

Outside, a semi-enclosed undercover area off the back of the cottage provides a welcome further living space. There’s a charming corrugated iron backyard shed, and a single carport, with access off Buckley Street. This access may also allow for future subdivision (STCA)

The home has all the comforts needed to simply move on in and enjoy life, while providing plenty of scope for a creative soul to get busy.

Who will be the next to love this home to life?
