A stately red-brick heritage home is on offer, providing outstanding family living in a prestigious Bendigo locale. Situated in the historically significant Rowan Street precinct, the 4-bedroom home is just steps to View Street, with easy access to the Queen Elizabeth Oval, the renowned Bendigo Art Gallery, the Capital Theatre, Rosalind Park and Bendigo's best shopping and dining.

This dignified home contains original period features, including high, ornate ceilings, decorative cornices and architraves, stained glass and sash windows and multiple original fireplaces.

Further premium inclusions of this unique property are an inground, tiled heated pool and spa, a wine cellar, a 5.5kW solar system, a double garage with generous storage space and a 13.5kWhs Tesla battery, plus a second private multipurpose brick outhouse. Currently a dedicated games room, this expansive space with a kitchenette, WC and shower could be converted to a guesthouse, home office, teen retreat or short-stay accommodation.
