Rosemont on View Street is a two-storey Victorian residence which was built in 1872 for a prominent business person.

This grand residence is the centrepiece of a twin allotment measuring about 3036 square metres with enchanting gardens, in-ground pool and north-south tennis court.

"Rosemont is magical and mystical," licensed estate agent Leonie Butler told Domain.

"The original stables are here, and it's one of the few Bendigo properties with a widow's walk."

Superb 19th-century architecture includes iron lace, sky-high ceilings, Baltic pine flooring and archway with carved corbels.

Marble fireplaces are resplendent, and intricate cornices are hand decorated with gold-leaf. Another treasure is the fully-operational antique gasoliers.

Enjoy formal and family rooms as well as a modern country-style kitchen with integrated appliances. Corian-topped chef's island and deluxe 900mm-wide Falcon double oven are more kitchen highlights.

Further features are guest suite, music room, dry cellar, modern bathrooms and upper-level balcony with sweeping views.

The four-bay stable includes loft space, underground cellar and a light-filled studio.

Paved alfresco, surrounded by parterre gardens, breakfast deck and a glorious water fountain are further delights at this grand home from the gold-rush era.

Rosemont offers an enviable city lifestyle with nearby arts, entertainment and shopping.
