Please call Gavin on 0427 887 766 for a private inspection

Built in 1860, this large, beautiful solid brick period home of the early gold rush colonial era is situated in the blue chip View Street locale. It is set well back from the street, close to excellent schools and the arts, sport, restaurant, retail and commercial centre of Bendigo.

The four-bedroom all electric home, with two office/studies, a large wine cellar and smaller pantry/storeroom cellar, has been renovated over the years, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the historic home. The ‘old’ marble bathroom now has heating and a large shower, a fifth bedroom has been transformed into a large walk-in robe, bath and shower ensuite for the main bedroom.

This beautiful home, with a truly rich history, has had very few owners. The Matchett family had it for many generations and the present owners are reluctantly leaving it after 47 years.

The home is a truly wonderful and unique family home that captures the imagination of everyone that visits it. Very few families have had the pleasure of owning this very unique and beautiful home.

Stepping inside, the grandeur and warmth of the original home is immediately felt with its high ceilings, colored glass doors and windows, over mantles, baltic pine and hardwood floors, and large rooms. A large office/study is immediately to the left, the living and music rooms to the right. The interior has effortlessly combined historical charm with contemporary living.

It has a modern and impressive kitchen with caesar stone bench tops, quality appliances, induction cooking, dishwasher, pantry and ample storage space.  

There are four bedrooms on the upper level, an office/study, reading nook, powder room and bathroom. The master suite is spacious and comfortable, including a renovated ensuite with a generous walk-in robe with custom joinery, additional robe, polished floor boards, heated towel rail, fire place and over mantle.

The frontage of the home is set well back off the street and has a lovely lush garden down to the front sandstone and picket fence. The rear external pantry/storage room is off a large fernery. The backyard with rear access features a double carport, space for three cars, fruit trees, garden shed, a wisteria covered pergola, bbq area, and outside toilet.

This exquisite home is in a prime location and set on 557m2, with easy access to the Bendigo CBD, Arts precinct, Girton Grammar School and many other excellent schools. The address is a perfect opportunity to secure an historical Bendigo home that has one of the best locations in Bendigo.
