42 Rowan Street, Bendigo VIC 3550

Imagine living on the city edge where you can walk to the CBD for work or shopping; avoid the parking fiasco and leave the car at home while you attend the theatre and sporting events or dine out at nearby restaurants and cafes.
Behind the fleurs-de-lis fence, this classic Victorian home is full of the endearing charm of the era where a century of elegance and renovated convenience awaits new owners.
It retains original characteristics like high, detailed ceilings and cornice, polished Kauri pine floors, central hallway arch and five restored open fireplaces with timber surrounds, mantelpieces and cast-iron grates.
Extensively improved, the home has ample accommodation with three bedrooms plus study, two modern bathrooms and versatile living areas.
The large main suite includes a wall of robes and ensuite with remaining bedrooms and recently renovated main bathroom found further along the hallway before it opens up to light-filled living areas.
The lounge boasting open fireplace adjoins the study with built-in desk and cabinetry while the spacious dining area can easily accommodate a table for four or fourteen when the occasion arises. Alongside, the sleek black and white kitchen fills today's modern needs with 900mm Eurostar stainless steel dual/fuel cooker, Bosch dishwasher, butler's pantry and sliding doors to a fabulous entertaining deck featuring recycled Oregon roof trusses.
Internally accessed cellar with open fireplace suits a multitude of uses – den/tasting room, rumpus, teen retreat or work space/studio while outside, detached original stables have been converted into a unique entertaining room/man cave or guest house complete with red gum bar/kitchen, polished concrete floors, shower, stone fireplace and external WC.
Other outdoor essentials include double carport with remote access from Richard Street at the rear, a soothing water feature and a cute elevated cubby house for the kids.
The stunning property has it all - street appeal, period grace, family space and an enviable location with Arts Precinct, various schooling options, beautiful Rosalind park and sporting facilities in the immediate neighborhood.
