Expressions of interest are open for an iconic Spanish mission style home in Golden Square.
The house, which was built in 1930 as a doctor's surgery, retains much of its period charms while offering a range of modern updates.
"It has beautiful art deco stained glass windows and doors all through the front of the house and the side of the house," said sales consultant Bronwyn Williams-Harris from Tweed Sutherland First National.
The facade is a classic example of a Spanish mission home - a style which was popular in the interwar period but rare in Bendigo.
"Those three arches in the portico, stucco and inlay bricks, twisted columns were some of the features that they used," Ms Williams-Harris said.
"It was quite a spectacular home in the day and it still is now. It's stunning."
Room to move
The house gives the impression of grandeur from the first moment with a drive-through porch for guests to be dropped off in style.
Through the arched entry-way is access to the formal lounge room complete with Art Deco lead light windows, original timber floorboards and ornate ceilings.
The lounge leads through to a brightly-lit dining space and a small room perfect for a reading nook or sitting room.
The kitchen, which is connected to the dining area, has been given a modern upgrade with white cabinets and grey tiles and backsplash.
The home boasts three generously sized rooms, including one with an attached second room which could be used as a study or walk-in robe.
A stunning claw foot club completes a small bathroom with black and white tiles and another art deco lead light window.
Upstairs is a 3.6 metre by 8.6 metre room which could be used as a bedroom or additional living space, as well as an even larger roof space which could be turned into another room.
Behind the home, a decommissioned pool is waiting for refurbishment while a grassy lawn is large enough to install a tennis court.
There is room for three cars in the undercover carports which have a small workshop attached.
Option to sell off land
The house sits on five land titles, giving the option to sell off portions of the overall land.
It last sold for $509,000 in 2005.
The median price for a house in Golden Square is $527,000.
