28 Sandhurst Street, Raywood, Vic 3570

This rare find features standout characteristics and exceptional charm, situated on a spacious block. The home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, and a double garage. You will be amazed from the moment you step inside through the original large double doors of this thoughtfully restored church building, which includes a spacious extension set on a 2429m² allotment. This unique residence boasts soaring timber-lined ceilings, stunning leadlight arched Gothic windows, and polished timber floors.
The main bedroom is located upstairs, overlooking the original church features and complete with a modern ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in robe. The two additional bedrooms are situated in the original part of the house, each featuring original stained-glass windows and ceiling fans—both with built-in robes—and there is also a separate toilet and powder room.
The hallway seamlessly leads to a later addition that includes either a fourth bedroom or an office, along with a light-filled second living area with doors that open to the garden. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, ample pantry space, and good bench space, with direct access to the huge double-door automatic garage.
Honoring the church's original charm was a priority for the owner, who embraced this style in the open-plan living space that occupies much of the building, offering a unique lifestyle.
If you are looking to make a tree change, this property is perfect as a family home, a weekend retreat, or a rental property on short-term letting platforms like Airbnb. The attractive bush setting offers peace and quiet with established trees, a gazebo for entertaining, and a fully fenced yard, making it safe for children and pets. There is plenty of room for a shed, a pool, and machinery (subject to council approval). You can enjoy the best of both worlds, with wildlife at your doorstep and proximity to Bendigo—just 20 minutes from Eaglehawk, where you'll find all necessary amenities, and approximately 25 minutes from Bendigo via all sealed roads.
Raywood is a growing community with a local post office, a hotel offering great meals, a primary school, and a school bus to Bendigo conveniently located at the end of the street. The new railway station provides a bonus for public transport, along with a service station and police station. Recent upgrades to the recreational reserve include a new netball court and a football oval.
This home must be seen to truly appreciate its unique qualities.
