25 Webster Street

Positioned high between Lily and Honeysuckle Streets at the top end of inner-city Bendigo, this substantial period residence sits on an elevated 779sqm allotment, capturing wide views to the south and south-west. With over 31 squares of living, five bedrooms and multiple living zones, the home offers both the character of its era and the space required for modern family life all within walking distance of Violet Street Primary and just 1.2km from Girton Grammar School. The original home retains its sense of history, while a considered extension has expanded the footprint to accommodate the way families live now. Period details remain a defining feature, with pressed metal ceilings, polished timber floors, decorative cornices, leadlight and sash windows, and original fireplaces with overmantels throughout the home. The floorplan provides five bedrooms, including three with built-in robes, supported by two bathrooms, including a large central family bathroom with bath. Multiple living areas are spread across the home, including a formal lounge, sitting room, dining room with reading area, family living adjoining the kitchen and a rear rumpus ideal as a kids/teen retreat or another private study area. Open fireplaces, ducted gas heating and multiple split systems ensure comfort across seasons and across zones. A study nook offers a practical space for work or study without taking over a full room. Modern kitchen with waterfall stone benches, extensive storage and a walk-in pantry. Marble tiles and feature pendant lighting bring a contemporary finish while maintaining connection to the home's character. The kitchen/family zone opens directly to an undercover outdoor dining area, making it easy to move between indoor and outdoor spaces. Verandahs and outdoor nooks are positioned to take advantage of the home's elevated aspect and shifting light throughout the day. A securely fenced in-ground pool sits below the verandah, framed by paved surrounds and beautiful established trees and garden. A large laundry and additional storage spaces support the practical needs of a home of this scale. This is a home that carries its history well, while offering the space and flexibility needed for a large or growing family. With its position, scale and outlook, it remains closely connected to Bendigo's city centre and everyday amenities, while still feeling set apart.
