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.
