Large, luxurious, and brimming with period elegance, 'Mandalay' (circa 1890) stands proudly just steps from the iconic Bendigo Arts Precinct, Queen Elizabeth Oval, and Rosalind Park. This freestanding, double-storey beauty, nestled among Bendigo's earliest homes, has had its "wet areas" tastefully restored by the current owners, seamlessly blending old-world charm with modern conveniences.
Beyond the striking red-brick facade, you'll find a formal lounge with a gas heater installed in the fireplace and a separate cosy living room/study, both featuring exquisite open fireplaces, soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, and gleaming timber floors.
The updated, sunlit kitchen is a culinary delight, equipped with gas/electric appliances, a 2-drawer dishwasher, ample storage, a walk-in pantry, and a stunning granite-topped island for casual meals. The adjoining dining and sitting area flows seamlessly through bi-fold doors to a covered alfresco deck with serene pool and spa views.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms, provide ample space for the family. The rear bedroom boasts a balcony which overlooks the glorious rear yard. The newly renovated bathroom is a luxurious retreat with a freestanding tub, walk-in shower, twin vanities, travertine tiles, heated floor and heated towel rail.Two additional powder rooms, one upstairs (newly renovated) and one downstairs, offer added convenience.
Outside, a basement provides abundant storage, and two cellars await your wine collection. Brick-paved paths lead through lush lawns and citrus trees to the rear-access garage. The double-storey red-brick structure includes ground-level parking for two cars and an upper-level games/entertainment room. This versatile space can also serve as a studio, home office, or guest suite with its own bathroom (including toilet) and kitchenette.
Perfectly located near schools, cafes, restaurants, and parks, 'Mandalay' combines historic character with modern luxury, offering an exceptional city-living experience in the heart of Bendigo.
