149 Mitchell Street, Bendigo VIC 3550

Positioned mere steps from the Bendigo Railway Station, Marketplace and the city centre, this brick miner's cottage presents a golden opportunity to secure the perfect renovation project.

Built in the mid to late 1800s and scattered throughout the goldfields, these cottages have withstood the test of time.

This one has the typical simple floor plan with a front verandah, two rooms across the front and restrained ornamentation.

The front door opens to a character-filled living room with an open open-fireplace housing a gas heater and a timber over-mantle, high ceilings and polished timber floor.

The other front room is the carpeted main bedroom.

Behind these are the large eat-in kitchen and second bedroom. The kitchen has room for dining, an electric cooker, ample cupboard and bench space.

Step down to a rear vestibule/laundry, a cute study overlooking the backyard and the bathroom with shower over the bath, vanity and WC.

The securely fenced backyard includes a sun-drenched paved slab for outdoor living or the perfect place for an intimate lunch.

The property has a side driveway, off-street parking and a low-maintenance front garden.

Throw away the car keys - the prime location just 850 metres from the CBD will have you walking to everything.

It makes a cute and comfy home for first-home buyers, an ideal addition to an investment portfolio or the perfect reno project with the ideal position and potential for future leasing as an Airbnb/serviced accommodation.
