Indicative Sale Price $700,000 - $770,000 Elders Easy Sale Closes Wednesday 6 October, 2:00pm at 46 Queen Street, Bendigo This home and property will be ideal for those who are very particular and like to keep everything perfect. It has been meticulously kept and is just so beautifully presented that you will fall in love at first sight, knowing full well that the whole package deserves the highest esteem. Here, a wonderful two storey residence crowns the parklike setting of just over 6 acres, with enviable shedding and a large lush green paddock ideal for keeping your horse where you live, if you so wish. The home is ever so spacious with three living areas, three bathrooms and verandah decks on three sides of the house so you can always find an idyllic place to immerse yourself in the picturesque surrounds. A sweeping driveway carries you around the expansive lawn where you could laze under the Canary Island Date Palm, which has come to personify country homes in rural Australia, as you watch the family's cricket match play out in your own front yard. At the end of the driveway a return verandah allows you to welcome visitors through glazed French doors to either the entry hall or directly into the expansive formal lounge room. The carpeted lounge has a picture perfect gas log fire, a reverse cycle split system and ceiling fans so you can be sure you will always be comfortable. A discreet store room is tucked away around the corner, with built-in shelving where you can neatly stow all the games and toys, or snuggly blankets for the couch, to keep the whole family happy while your home stays tidy. Colonial style French doors under a long transom window, lead from the lounge back to the foyer. The whole home has been thoughtfully designed and fitted out to maximise natural light and gorgeous views of open space so you always feel fresh and clear headed. A matching colonial style door in the foyer takes you through to the kitchen. The pristine kitchen offers ample cupboard and drawer storage space which also means great benchtop workspace, along with a pantry, electric upright stove and dishwasher, creating an inviting space for you to prepare beautiful meals with ease and convenience. You can sit down together to enjoy good food and good company in the adjoining open plan dining and living room with easy care timber laminate flooring and its own gas log fire for that warm romantic ambiance. Through the laundry, a compact and highly functional bathroom has a shower over a hip bath, a vanity and toilet, to service downstairs. The master bedroom suite also has a compact ensuite with a shower, vanity and loo accessed through a walk-thru-robe with mirrored doors on both sides so it always look clean and tidy and also lends itself to use as a dressing room. If you like a more luxurious bathroom, you are going to love it upstairs. From the entrance hall again, a rustic barn door on iron tracks provides access to the staircase, or the option of closing it off to divide the home into private living zones. Under the stairs is a very handy walk in storage closet. A timber handrail tops iron balusters which are complemented as you ascend, by an iron filigree panel atop the wall dividing the stairs from the sitting room. This bathroom is spacious with an oversized shower, a twin-basin vanity with plenty of in built storage, and a tub just begging for bubbles and candles. The upstairs toilet is separate and it services two huge bedrooms, both with built-in-robes and French doors onto a beautiful timber and steel return balcony from which you can really indulge in the serene surroundings and idyllic landscape. Other noteworthy attributes include a 12 panel, 3kw back to grid solar system, four rainwater tanks, a double carport handy to the front and side entrances of the home, and a huge American barn with a concrete floor, lights and power, a highset roller door ideal for your horse float or caravan, and even a mezzanine floor. Guaranteed, she will love it as much as him. The Ghost Gums must be seen to be believed and a row of Golden Gleditsia fronts a lovely white post and rail fence which divides the stock paddock from the grounds of the home. As impressive as all of this is, one of the best features of this property is its location! It is on the Melbourne side of Bendigo and as such it is just over an hour to the Melbourne fringe, it is also only about 10 minutes from the Centro Lansell Shopping Centre in Kangaroo Flat with all that that has to offer, and just another 10 minutes to the Alexandra Fountain in the heart of Bendigo's CBD. Well and truly worth an inspection, but of course inspection is strictly by appointment so please contact Wayne on 0409 248 477.
