Introducing 'Firenze' – An Exceptional Bendigo Period Home
A masterpiece of timeless elegance and contemporary style, 'Firenze' is a stunning balance of classic 1900s character and modern luxury. Meticulously restored and sympathetically extended, this exquisite home on a 1,200 sqm block offers a rare opportunity to own a truly premium property in Bendigo. The seamless blend of old and new is achieved with great care, ensuring the home's original charm and grandeur are enhanced by thoughtful, modern updates. Built around 1909, 'Firenze' has been lovingly restored with many original features retained, including high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, decorative light fittings, pressed metal ceilings, and stunning Baltic pine floorboards. The grand wraparound verandah, complete with beautifully restored balustrades and fretwork, invites you to take in the peaceful surroundings, while below, the landscaped gardens add to the sense of serenity and calm. The home's elevated position offers sweeping views across Bendigo and One Tree Hill. Inside, the carefully considered extension, by award-winning architect Pauline Hurren, includes an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen zone that has been finished to the highest standard. The entertainer's kitchen is a highlight, featuring a vast stone island bench, Meile appliances, and custom cabinetry. Behind the scenes, the butler's pantry is equipped with two pyrolytic ovens, a second dishwasher, and ample storage. This space is perfect for both everyday family life and hosting large gatherings. The formal lounge and dining rooms off the central hallway retain the home's period charm, while four large bedrooms downstairs provide ample accommodation. The main bedroom is a luxurious retreat with built-in wardrobes, an elegant ensuite, and a foyer entrance. A mudroom, family bathroom, and laundry round out the lower level. Thoughtful storage solutions abound, from built-in robes in most bedrooms to under-stair storage and extensive cupboards throughout. Further recent updates include pure wool carpets, plantation shutters, and hydronic panel heating. The property also has evaporative cooling, re-wired electrics, reroofed and irrigated gardens. Outside, discover a paved terrace, raised vegetable beds near the two large sheds, a carport with additional vehicle space in the long driveway, and plenty of room for a future pool. 'Firenze' is one of Bendigo's finest residences, offering an exceptional lifestyle in an unbeatable location.
