If walking everywhere is your idea of convenience, welcome to the 1km Club. From here, the hospital, CBD, Arts Precinct, cafés, pubs, Rosalind Park, the Bendigo Chinese Gardens and Lake Weeroona are all within easy reach; and rest easy, there's plenty of space for up to 6 cars ! Beautifully restored, this charming 3-bedroom, 1930s Californian Bungalow offers the perfect balance of character, comfort and flexibility and once inside, a quiet refuge from the outside world. For professionals seeking a consultancy-based business (STCA), the layout allows clients to access a dedicated front or rear room close to bathroom facilities, keeping your private living spaces separate. The astute buyer will particularly appreciate the remarkable peace and privacy rarely found in such a central location. Acoustic glazing includes double and triple glazing, door seals, electric shutters and thoughtful upgrades create a quiet environment ideal for working from home, consulting, or simply escaping the city's bustle. The home's striking circular porch, leadlight bay windows and classic stucco façade create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, the welcoming hallway with timber-look vinyl plank flooring leads to a spacious bedroom with built-in shelving and custom cabinetry on the left, which could easily be used as a lounge or consulting room. Two additional bedrooms are positioned to the right and nearby is a beautifully appointed central bathroom with a large walk-in shower, vanity and toilet. At the rear, the home opens into a generous kitchen, dining and family zone. The well-designed kitchen is a cook's delight, offering abundant bench space and storage, a 900mm freestanding cooker, dishwasher, double-door pantry and room for a large family-sized refrigerator. A second bathroom cleverly combines shower-over-bath, toilet and laundry facilities, while the adjoining enclosed sunroom stretches across the rear of the home, providing a light-filled living space with peaceful garden views all year round. Outside, the established gardens create a private sanctuary, complemented by a long, wide driveway leading to a rear garage/shed with off-street parking for up to six vehicles. Completing the package are ceiling fans, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, double glazing throughout and a 5.4kW solar system for year-round comfort and efficiency. Set on approximately 513m² in the heart of Bendigo's vibrant cultural and dining precinct, this exceptional home effortlessly blends timeless character with contemporary living, making it an outstanding opportunity for professionals, downsizers, business owners and anyone seeking a prestigious inner-city lifestyle.
