Bendigo 71 Rowan Street
Premium city-fringe home where old meets new
An exceptional blend of 'old meets new', this impressive family home in a prime Bendigo locale fuses 1900s character with a beautifully executed modern extension. The classic red brick period home has been thoughtfully cared for, and many original features remain in the front of the house. The recent extension includes a stunning open plan living, dining and kitchen zone, laundry and master bedroom suite, finished to the highest standard. The home is set on a 1,000 sqm block with landscaped front and rear gardens and picturesque views across Bendigo. This is a rare opportunity to own a premium city-fringe period home on a large block just moments from schools, dining, parklands and entertainment.
Built in 1910, plenty of well-maintained period features are intact, including high decorative ceilings, fireplaces with timber mantels and cast-iron grates, and original timber floorboards. Off the central hallway, discover 2 large bedrooms plus a huge new family bathroom with on-trend finishes and styling. A study, 3rd bedroom and a central sitting room are also found at the front – in the original home's footprint. Renovated in 2020, the extension includes a master suite, open plan living, dining and kitchen, a fantastic laundry and an enclosed rear deck. The main bedroom boasts a full length of built-in robes, a second study and a luxurious ensuite that can also be accessed from the living zone as a convenient second bathroom. An ideal area for family life, the living zone includes warm Tasmanian oak floorboards and high, raked ceilings with feature windows that fill the space with natural light. The entertainer's kitchen is outstanding with an enormous Caesarstone island bench, induction cooktop, pyrolytic oven, appliance cupboard and large pantry. Thoughtful storage solutions feature throughout this property, including robes in all bedrooms, ample kitchen cupboards and drawers, extensive laundry storage, as well as under-house storage. Further quality inclusions complete this impressive home: plantation shutters, remote-controlled block-out blinds, zoned reverse cycle electric heating and cooling, a significant 8.58kW solar system, irrigated gardens, and water tanks. Outside, discover an outhouse (converted from an original stable), which includes a multi-purpose room with split-system heating and cooling, a carport, and further storage capacity.
