Tucked behind a picket fence in one of Bendigo's most tightly held inner-city pockets, 'Argyle' is a remarkable blend of late-1800s charm and refined modern living. A stunning heritage home with historical beauty brought back to life through a thoughtful and timeless renovation.
Set on a 531 sqm block with beautiful street appeal, this is a dream lifestyle opportunity within walking distance of the CBD, train station, schools and sporting grounds.
From the moment you arrive, the home's distinctive façade and timber details speak to its iconic heritage, while every aspect of the cottage's recent renovation reflects careful craftsmanship.
Enter the welcoming hallway with timber fretwork, soaring 14-foot pressed metal ceilings, and original timber floorboards that have been lovingly restored. Leadlight windows, sash windows and ornate timberwork showcase the home's history, while a completely reimagined rear extension delivers the comfort and functionality of modern living.
The home features two spacious bedrooms, including a main suite with a walk-through robe, dual-access ensuite, and a beautiful double-sided fireplace with the original mantle and light fittings.
The second bedroom offers flexibility with a clever built-in wall-bed and extensive built-in shelving, making it ideal as a guest room, study, or second living space.
At the rear, the brand-new open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone is light-filled and airy, anchored by bespoke blue cabinetry, stone benchtops and splashback, an induction cooktop, a steam oven, a wall oven, soft-close drawers, and a pantry nook. A ceiling fan and split system ensure comfort, while hydronic heating features throughout the home.
Doors from the living area open to the original return verandah, beautifully restored in Jarrah, and a newly added deck overlooking the established gardens. Here, mature trees, fruit trees, a birch grove and even avocado trees offer privacy and seasonal beauty, with under-house storage and a shed tucked neatly away.
Additional features include:
• Full restoration from stumps to roof, including plumbing
• Underfloor insulation
• Hidden European laundry
• Crimsafe security doors and windows
• Off-street parking via automated gate
• Repainted inside and out
'Argyle' is more than just a home – it now stands as a rare, one-of-a-kind property ready to be loved for the next 100 years.
