218 MacKenzie Street, Golden Square VIC 3555

Someone is going to have a lot of fun restoring this funky, flat-roofed 1960s home on the city's edge. The vinyl clad weatherboard is ready for some love and attention from a creative and energetic house restorer, however, with a big block and some great period details, your work will be well rewarded.

Set on a corner allotment of over 800m2, the property boasts side access from Shamrock Street, which flags possible subdivision potential, subject to council approval. Or, keep the big backyard and enjoy as you please.

Another winning feature here is the view back across Bendigo, over the trees to the Sacred Heart Cathedral spire beyond; it's Bendigo's version of a beach view!

The façade enjoys a southerly aspect, with full-wall picture windows in the main bedroom and living area, that induce a light-filled living space.

There are high ceilings, decorative cornice, original curved kitchen cabinets and some 1960s bathroom fittings. Three bedrooms are located off a wide hallway. A bonus sunroom at the rear would make a handy second living space.

The backyard has sundry shedding, plus a 6x6m lock up garage. Leave the car at home and walk to the Golden Square Woolworths supermarket, which is just 200m away. St John of God hospital is also walking distance, further upping the investment potential.

With potential to live in while you renovate, this could be a great buy for forward-thinking first home buyers, a great flipping opportunity or a rewarding long-term investment.
