14 Reserve Street, Eaglehawk VIC 3556

Eaglehawk's mining history forms an integral part of Bendigo's gold rush tapestry, and in particular, this period home provides a link to our Cornish migrant past. With Reserve Street being known as a bullock track in the late 1800s, it is believed that Gwennap was the mine manager's residence. Set back on a generous allotment of 1106m2, this is your opportunity to enhance the original character features and unique elements, combining them with modern updates for today's lifestyle.

Original floorboards feature throughout the main footprint of the home with a combination of ceiling treatments including timber, plaster with art deco ceiling rose and pressed metal. The hallway is separated by timber fretwork and at the end of the passage is a door with lovely leadlight detail. Pressed metal features again, this time as wall treatments in the dining room.

Immediately to the right of the hallway is a large living room with timber lined ceiling, decorative cornices and fireplace which currently houses a gas heater. Next is the master bedroom with full ensuite, WIR and a study niche. Two additional bedrooms are located to the left of main hallway. Ceiling fans and ducted gas heating feature throughout the home and an additional gas wall furnace services the rear of the home
An extension, rebuilt approximately 10 years ago, offers a timber kitchen with separate spacious dining area leading to the family room. French doors open out from the dining room to the outdoor pool area. The family bathroom, separate toilet and laundry are located at the end of a short passage which leads to the backyard.

Outside, the backyard is geared to engage every member of the family. A shed for tinkering; 2 cubby houses for playing; trees for climbing; inground trampoline for somersaulting, and long summer days by the pool.

Period family homes on large allotments are a rarity and here you can create the lifestyle you've always wanted. Close to many amenities in an area gaining much interest due to its proximity to many schools including Eaglehawk Secondary College, St Liborius PS and Eaglehawk PS, childcare facilities, unique shopping precinct, Peter Krenz Leisure Centre and much more, in what is a surprisingly quiet area.

Make no mistake, this affordable family home and generous site, is the ideal property for a young couple starting out, family or anyone wishing to renovate a period home with the luxury of space and will be snapped up quickly.
