550 Hargreaves Street Bendigo, 3550 VIC
Classic Federation Family Home
Like many of Bendigo's finer homes, St. Malo, circa 1890, was built during the gold rush era for a local mine manager with ties to the French coastal town of the same name.
Fast forward to today, and the red-brick Federation residence remains a standout property retaining many of its enduring period features.
Set behind a brick and iron fleur-de-lis-topped fence, the original front facade features tuck-pointed red brickwork a timber fretwork frieze to the return front veranda and tessellated tiles underfoot.
Inside, the 3.6-meter-high pressed metal ceilings contribute to the spacious and grand ambience, enhanced by stunning timber floors and fresh paintwork. Following a meticulous renovation and a two-storey extension, the home's expansive layout now includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three living areas, perfectly catering to the needs of today's modern family.
The layout features a central arched hallway leading to two generously sized bedrooms. Each with a restored open fireplace, timber surround and mantlepiece. The main bedroom includes a walk-in robe/dressing room and an ensuite highlighting a stone-topped vanity with twin hand basins, a
walk-in shower, and a separate WC.
The spacious central lounge room, filled with Northern light, is ready for entertaining guests or family gatherings. It features another open fireplace framed by built-in shelving and an ornate ceiling rose. A dedicated study includes a built-in wall unit and a wall of cupboards.
The extension encompasses the main bathroom, a separate WC, the storage-rich laundry, a large kitchen, a dining/family area and timber stairs to the second level where you will find three large bedrooms (BIRs), a WC, a luxe bathroom with claw foot bath, in situ shower and twin vanity basins, and a sitting room with a balcony and views to the nearby Cathedral spire.
The chef-worthy kitchen is something else. Showcasing ample bespoke cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, Beko appliances (90cm induction cooktop, under-bench oven, and rangehood), a composite double sink and an integrated dishwasher, it will not disappoint aspiring chefs.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the extensive dining/family area comfortably accommodates intimate family meals or large-scale dining when the occasion calls. In warmer weather, bifold doors roll back to reveal an extensive wrap-around alfresco deck overlooking the rear garden.
The landscaped lot approx. 843m² enjoys a serene private rear garden featuring a camellia hedge, established shade trees and a fenced vegetable garden. The electric-gated, side driveway provides access to a triple garage with auto doors and off-street parking.
Impressive in every way, St Malo offers street appeal, period grace, family space and an enviable city-edge location. It's within easy walking distance to Bendigo's CBD, Marketplace, Railway Station, theatres, schools and dining-out options.
