172 Williamson Street, Kennington VIC 3550

This elegant art deco home must surely be one of the most exciting properties to hit the Bendigo market right now. Walking distance to the Ewing Park development, Central Bendigo, Brougham Arms Hotel, Bendigo Marketplace and Train Station.

Situated on the edge of the city in wide, leafy Williamson Street, it boasts a 784m2 block, with easy rear access from creek-side Havlin Street East.

Enjoy the big backyard as is while keeping an eye to the future, or investigate the possibility of subdivision now, subject to council approval.

The home itself is captivating. Of red brick and stucco construction, with an as-new Colorbond roof, it's in solid condition, and boasts the most beautiful original features of the era.

Consider high ceilings, decorative cornice, picture rails, leadlight glass, elaborate ceiling roses, mantlepieces and so much more.

The front glass door opens to a wide L-shaped hallway with three sets of double French doors, setting the scene for a gracious floorplan.

The master bedroom to the left has charm in spades, with its polished timber floorboards, and its brick and timber mantelpiece. In fact, all three bedrooms have their own unique character, and beautifully highlighted features.

The spacious loungeroom is all class, with its focal point being the original timber mantelpiece with side crystal cabinets. The leadlight window has a wide sill that's perfect for plants, and the little window with the sailing scene is simply gorgeous.

The bathroom is fit for function, however a considered renovation would benefit the home. The same could be said for the kitchen. It's still doing its job well, but would be a joy to re-imagine in either a contemporary or sympathetic art deco style. It has a wide tiled alcove that currently houses a gas upright stove and a wood heater.

Outside, a healthy green lawn invites you to kick off shoes. A small orchard has provided fresh fruit for decades, and the old timber fence has long faithfully framed this idyllic and private space.

Refurbish, develop, or extend and potential for a medical clinic or offices (STCA) or simply love this stunning Kennington home as is, and as the vendors so clearly do.
