PERIOD PRESTIGE ON THE CITY FRINGE
Standing prominently on the corner of View & Valentine Streets, "Malmo" was designed circa 1898 by renowned Bendigo architect William Beebe. Commissioned by prominent local citizen & philanthropist, Mr Karl Van Damme, it reflects one of the architect's favourite styles – the Queen Anne Revival. Tastefully & faithfully restored, the home boasts tuck-pointed red brickwork, a unique gabled roof of recently restored Marseille terracotta tiles with elaborate ridging, finials & ribbed chimneys with detailed timber fretwork to the verandah & balcony. Restored tessellated tiling graces the verandah & the entry foyer impresses with a grand Kauri pine staircase. Atop the stairs, is a spacious landing, 3 bedrooms, dressing room & new bathroom featuring walk-in shower, double vanity, WC & marble tiling. The opulent main bedroom features a fireplace & diamond leadlight-glazed arched windows overlooking View Street. The 2nd bedroom has a bay window, fireplace & antique French chandelier, while the 3rd enjoys city views. All rooms on the 1st floor include vaulted ceilings with individual decorative cornice. Back on ground level, a light-filled study/5th bedroom with a feature bay window & fireplace lies opposite formal sitting & dining rooms. Both rooms feature marble fireplaces, stained-glass windows & French-style light fittings. The sitting room has a unique oval window set in the split chimney & the dining room easily accommodates a 16-seater dining table. A later addition includes a spacious second living/family room, a new marble-floored bathroom with claw-foot bath & a Vic-ash staircase to the 4th bedroom with private balcony. The entertainer's kitchen features Miele appliances including built-in coffee machine, ample cabinetry, stone-topped island, roll-out pantries & study nook with adjoining butler's pantry, bar/wine room & dining area. An elevated deck is the ideal setting for alfresco dining & entertaining before it leads down to the laundry, workshop, studio/hobby room & garage with dry wine cellar. Stunning garden surrounds include a large backyard with a fabulous feature tree taking centre stage amid garden beds, vine-draped arbor's, a cascading fishpond & paved sitting nooks. The approx 1330m² lot includes dual side access for off-street parking with high fences & hedges for privacy. "Malmo" is a perfect blend of history, character & elegance. It offers generous accommodation & a city-edge lifestyle second to none.
