14 Sternberg Street, Kennington VIC 3550

We love to see a city fringe home brought back to life, and this new listing shows what's possible with some hard work, creativity and a whole lot of love. This Californian Bungalow is now ready for what's next, be it a first home, the ultimate retirement pad, a smart investment or even Airbnb.

A picture-perfect façade greets you along Sternberg Street, hinting at the quality standards and attention to detail that's gone into the complete and entire renovation. Leadlight windows are a homage to the home's past. A freshly-oiled deck is ready to dress.

Inside, find original floorboards, now polished and gleaming. Note the high ceiling, downlights and square set cornice that feature throughout the home.

There are three soft carpeted bedrooms, each with a sleek black ceiling fan. Two have built-in-robes, while the master has a walk-in-robe, split system heating and cooling and a gorgeous ensuite. Yes, you're not in the past anymore! The main central bathroom is also beautiful, with its grey, white and warm timber tones.

The bright, white open living space allows those lovely leadlight windows to steal the show. Another ceiling fan and split system take care of the comfort, while the two-toned kitchen brings the class. It features all stainless steel appliances, a honeycomb tiled splashback and neat overhead cupboards.

Through the mudroom and past the laundry and loo, step outside to a sunny concrete patio overlooking a fresh lawn and row of maturing magnolias. There's plenty of parking with vehicle access beside the home. Otherwise, it's the ideal place for a little summer aperitif before strolling into town for dinner, with the heart of Bendigo being approximately 1.5km away. Who's also ready for a new lease on life?
