66 Thistle Street, Bendigo VIC 3550

With its roots firmly in Bendigo's mining past yet its style as current as can be, this fully-renovated cottage is an exemplary setting from which to enjoy an inner-city lifestyle. Finished in a contemporary cool colour palette that makes a striking contrast with the exposed brick accents, the home is situated on a generous block that is a rare highlight for such a central locale.

Welcomed by a heart-warming façade complete with a classic decked entrance, once inside, the beautiful hallway features the original arched accents of its heritage. Three bedrooms are offered at the front of the layout including an ensuite master with walk-in robe, while to the back, the accommodation was completely rebuilt to incorporate an open plan living/dining zone, second living area and kitchen. And what a kitchen it is! Offering generous amounts of Duck Egg blue cabinetry and premium appointments including 900mm cooking appliances, this is a dream for entertainers complemented by a fabulous butler's pantry/laundry finished in similar hues. Hosts will be proud to welcome guests indoors and out on the supremely private alfresco deck as the youngsters play in the huge garden.

With striking tile choices and a dark shaker-style vanity, the aesthetic of the family bathroom is mirrored in the gorgeous master ensuite - the comforts of split system heating/cooling & ceiling fans plus three original fireplaces are also offered while ample driveway parking with side access rounds off a top-quality proposition.

Opposite the supermarket, close to transport and Golden Square Primary School, this standout opportunity is within a walk of the CBD.
