The towering residence at 31 & 31A View Street, Bendigo, is on the market.

A decked-out local landmark that was once Bendigo’s tallest building is now one of the city’s coolest homes.

The four-bedroom property, including a stylish shopfront below, was originally built in 1925 as the offices of T&G Mutual Life Assurance, a company known for its impressive buildings.

Stretching four levels, 31 & 31A View Street is now on the market with $2.35-$2.55m price hopes.

The property is in the heart of Bendigo.

The commercial space is currently a store and salon.

Rooftop pool and gardens galore.

Like having your own rooftop bar.

The property boasts a heritage-listed facade with a modern interior, street-level shopfront and a rooftop terrace complete with panoramic views.

McKean McGregor Real Estate Bendigo director Glenn Rea said the property provided a rare opportunity to own a period residence with the added bonus of a commercial business with a built-in income.

The lucky buyer would score both residential and commercial titles.

“It’s a stunning commercial space,” Mr Rea said.

“And to have an inner-city property with four levels, rear access, a swimming pool, and a French provincial garden with a rooftop is incredible.”

Perfect for entertaining.

Stylish and eclectic finishes run throughout the home.

The property has secure access from both the storefront and from the rear of the home.

A contemporary feel inside.

“It’s been renovated over the course of its lifetime but it’s still a bit of blank canvas. It could be changed completely to be a guest accommodation or an amazing residence.”

He said the prime-location storefront was currently a retail boutique and hairdressing salon, with the existing tenants set to remain for the next three years.

“There’s also a big old-style vault (in the commercial floor)” Mr Rea added.

The home’s first floor features a formal dining space and a spacious open-plan kitchen, bar section with wine rack, office and living room – while the main bedroom two floors up offers cathedral views.
