17 Thunder Street, North Bendigo, Vic 3550

Get ready to lap up life in the lake precinct! This character-filled mid-century home is approximately five-minutes' walk to beautiful Lake Weeroona, via the Fox and Giraffe Café, meaning your Saturday mornings will be sorted.

Other neighbourhood notables are the Tysons Reef Hotel, the Boardwalk Café, Bendigo Tennis Centre and the Bendigo hospital, which are all within 1km of this exciting address.

The home is in almost original condition, presenting a fresh canvas for seasoned or would-be renovators. It's also been lovingly cared for and maintained, meaning you can also take possession and move straight on in and enjoy – or let straight out to a lucky tenant.

The façade is proud and neat and sits behind a lovely garden of standard roses and high hedging. There are dual concrete driveways, one on either side of the home, plus a single carport and rear yard access.

A host of features from the era will win your heart, including high ceilings, decorative cornice and beautiful timber-framed windows with pelmets, including some funky corner windows.

The floorplan includes three bedrooms, two of which have built-in-robes. The main bedroom is huge, and includes a ceiling fan. The central three-piece bathroom is fit and functional.

The large front loungeroom is flooded with light thanks to its big picture window. A sliding timber door leads to the open-plan kitchen and meals area.

The original kitchen is a real cutie, with its banks of timber cabinets and its overhead glass display case, perfect for your collection of retro kitsch.

The vinyl and carpet floor coverings throughout are all in good condition. As are the blinds.

Outside, a neat and fully fenced backyard is a bonus, and includes several storage sheds and the obligatory Hills Hoist.

Be quick to view this brick veneer gem in a brilliant North Bendigo location.
