Welcome to Central, a landmark residence which is among Bendigo's finest since its construction in 1874.
The grand Victorian home on Wattle Street was a gift from wealthy mining investor John B. Watson to his sister.
Historical records state Watson was one of the earliest arrivals to the Bendigo diggings, finding significant wealth from the gold reefs in the Wattle Street precinct.
Today, 148 years later, Central is a grand reminder of the goldfields dream as well as a stylish inner-city home.
Over three spacious levels, the residence offers three living zones and two kitchens.
Central has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a studio, garaging and a loft.
Adorned with iron lace, the verandahs offer north-facing views of Queen Elizabeth Oval and southern views toward Mount Alexander.
The selling agents said a meticulous restoration and thorough renovation to the residence received a City of Greater Bendigo Heritage Award.
