You won't buy sweeter than this turn-of-the-century cottage just 200m from the beautiful Loddon River. It offers the chance to slow your pace, connect with community and enjoy all the spoils that come with living by the water. The tiny town approximately half an hour from Bendigo and five minutes from Inglewood is renowned for great water skiing, fishing, swimming, food and wine. From 13 Lyndhurst Street you can walk to the iconic swimming hole, the famous Bridgewater Bakery, the upmarket art deco hotel and more. The location, and the cottage charm, will make every day feel like a holiday - or, perhaps that's what you're looking for? If not a character-filled private home, the property would make a great weekender/Airbnb rental. The other feature to note is the 1388m2 corner block. It has clear subdivision potential, subject to council approval. The bright white cottage is as cute as they come. Plus, it's bigger than what you may presume. There are three bedrooms here, including a spacious 3 x 5.5m main bedroom with ceiling fan. The front door opens to the loungeroom, which is freshly painted and has new carpet, split system heating and cooling, and an open brick hearth. A small, second living area has polished timber floorboards, and flows into the eat-in country kitchen. With a clean vinyl plank floor, a pantry cupboard and stainless-steel gas upright stove, the space is fit for modern living. While the original combustion stove no longer operates, it's doing a great job of bringing a vintage feel to the space. The updated bathroom has a shower over the bath, vanity and loo. There's also a separate laundry and small back verandah. Sundry sheds, a carport and a chook house in the backyard lets you know you're in the country. Enjoy enacting your vision for the big backyard. Beautifully presented, the cottage is a pleasure to view. As is the township. Take the short drive from Bendigo and take your time to stop off for a meal at the pub or a pie by the riverbank and get a taste of life in Bridgewater.
