42 Rowan Street, Bendigo, Vic 3550

Positioned just metres from the Cathedral and the View Street arts precinct, this Circa. 1870's Victorian residence delivers a rare blend of heritage elegance, modern comfort and unbeatable inner city convenience. From morning coffee on View Street to an easy stroll home after work, school or dinner out, the lifestyle here is as remarkable as the home itself.

Showcasing classic Victorian architecture, the home has been tastefully renovated for contemporary living while preserving its beautiful soul. 12' high ceilings, decorative cornice, ceiling roses, polished Kauri pine floors, leadlight windows, a central hallway arch and five restored open fireplaces create an atmosphere of timeless character. Each room feels calm, considered and beautifully proportioned.

The floor plan offers three generous bedrooms, an ensuite, main bathroom, and a powder room. A dedicated study with built in desk and cabinetry provides an ideal work from home space. The stunning kitchen features a 900mm dual fuel cooker, dishwasher, breakfast bar and a butler's pantry for exceptional storage and prep space.

A standout feature is the expansive decked entertaining area, framed by exposed Oregon roof trusses - a warm, inviting space for gatherings year round. The sound of gently breaking water from a water feature enhances the pleasure of the space. Beneath the home, the cellar with an open fireplace offers remarkable versatility: a study, further bedroom, rumpus or hobby room. 

What was once the original stables has been transformed into a private studio with its own street entrance. With a stone fireplace, seating with pull out bed, red gum bench, polished concrete floor, shower and external toilet, it's an ideal retreat for an au pair, guests, or a family member seeking independence and comfort.

The property fronts Rowan Street and enjoys secure double car accommodation via Richard Street to the rear, creating a metropolitan Melbourne style ambience. A large solar system with battery storage adds modern efficiency to this already exceptional home. There is a terrific storage space under the rear deck in addition to a shed/workshop along the side of the home. 

In Bendigo's heritage heart - surrounded by arts, culture, dining and daily convenience - this is a wonderful chance to secure a most remarkable residence with character, charisma and contemporary liveability.
