Retro Features and Views for Days

Loved and adored over many years in possibly Golden Square's quietest streets, first home buyers will recognise the value of this funky flat-roofed home.

Although neat and cosy just as it is, with a little bit of fresh energy and creativity, the cute retro abode would shine. Invest, nest or renovate and flip, retaining the big, bright original windows, decorative cornice and elevated rear deck.

The home has plenty of classic curb-side appeal. Behind the street tree and garden, the front porch opens to an informal entrance hall and the spacious loungeroom. Here, a modern gas log heater is a welcome addition to the refrigerated air conditioner and ceiling fan.

The kitchen is almost original, with a modern upright stove nestled into the tiled alcove and stone benches. Banks of cabinets provide ample storage, and the view from the sink means washing up won’t be a chore!

There are three bedrooms, all with a full wall of storage and a ceiling fan. Two also have small split systems and lovely corner windows. The three-piece bathroom is clean and functional and will continue to serve you well, as will the laundry and separate loo.

Step out the back door onto a high, covered, north-facing deck, with great views of the Golden Square skyline. It’s a welcome second living space to share with friends on the weekends.

Secure fences and a long carport complete the property, which is handy to the suburb’s best assets, plus an easy 3.3 kilometres to the heart of Bendigo.
