48 Bramble Street, Bendigo VIC 3550

"Hill Crest" (C.1861) is a beautiful 5 bedroom home and a stunning example of mid Victorian architecture, boasting charm and grace. During this period a culturally diverse middle class emerged on the thriving goldfields of Bendigo. The enterprising among them secured enviable land holdings and built prestigious homes. These are homes of quality that have stood the test of time, in a regional city that continues to prosper and celebrate its mining heritage.

This is an absolutely prime inner city location where an elite few enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of immediate access to celebrated cafes, restaurants, arts, theatres and boutique shopping. Bramble Street links with Mundy and Myers Streets and is only a short stroll to the main city landmarks; yet feels absolutely insulated from the hum and buzz of city activity. It's a unique paradox of total peace and quiet yet with the city at your fingertips!

Families will love the thought of the city as their playground. This is perhaps especially true for families who are looking to relocate from metropolitan Melbourne. Inner city living opportunities in Bendigo by comparison are scarcer, as ours is not a city of density. You need only look to the beautiful garden here to see what I mean. The property enjoys its own space and sense of seclusion, buffered by established trees and easy care gardens, yet is in a commanding and rare city position.

So accessible is the city, that the current owners have only required a single carport, although it could be easily extended to accommodate a second car. Your family may also find that you stroll or cycle around the city to reach schools, workplaces, supermarkets, shops, sporting and leisure activities. When desired there's also immediate access to the number 70 city bus route, city trams and the Bendigo Railway Station.

"Hill Crest" will be widely recognised as the former Lindstedt Chiropractic Clinic. The central location and excellent street parking would also be ideal for your business. Not to mention there's a romance and pride that comes with securing a slice of history in which you can very comfortably reside with your loved ones, and also operate your own business. The property would also make for a brilliant prestigious Bed & Breakfast or short term accommodation.

Three rooms on the first floor provide for a very versatile floor plan. The two front rooms make for very beautiful bedrooms or a reception/waiting room and a consultation room. The remainder of the floor would be a very generous master suite. This is a space where you as parents enjoy a main bedroom with access to an enclosed full length balcony/sunroom, with views of the rear yard, and city skyline behind deciduous trees. Across the hall from the master bedroom is a walk in robe and bathroom. The ground floor offers a further two bedrooms, living room and charming kitchen and dining space with a brilliant outlook to your very private and peaceful gardens.

This is a very versatile property in an enviable central location, awaiting its new enterprising owners.
