12 Grattan Street, North Bendigo VIC 3550

Situated on a large block in a premium location, this federation-style property is awaiting loving restoration. Enjoy the convenience of walking to Bendigo Health, the town centre and Lake Weerona and returning home to the peaceful atmosphere period residences inspire.

Open the gate in the steel picket fence and follow the path to the bullnose verandah edged with timber fretwork. The front entrance is framed by stained glass.

Step inside and note the period features. The rooms are large and the ceilings classically high: pressed metal in the wide passageway and timber-lined in the main bedroom and dining room. Picture rails line the living areas, and pelmets top the main bedroom and dining room windows.

In traditional formal style, the lounge and dining rooms are separate areas connected by a glass door. Fireplaces take prominence in both rooms. A gas heater is housed in the lounge fireplace; the charming dining room fireplace has been sealed off, but its full beauty could easily be revived.

Utility areas are positioned at the rear of the home. The closed kitchen contains a combustion oven, freestanding gas cooker and dresser.

Dado paneling behind the pedestal basin and a soakingly deep bath provide a touch of original charm to the bathroom which has been updated with a rainhead shower and glossy white tiles.

Beyond the back verandah and storage room lies the expansive garden area. Fully fenced and tree-lined, this is a tranquil oasis.

The approx. 730m2 block provides scope for house extension and the wide driveway will easily accommodate undercover parking, making this property an inviting prospect for renovators.
