Bendigo VIC 3550

The kitchen, which boasts a 900mm oven, plenty of cupboard and cutting space and a dishwasher is the heart of the home. Opening to a vast dining area with plenty of space for a large family dining table, it also has the benefit of sharing a wood fireplace with the generously sized lounge. Whilst the heating and cooling needs are met by reverse cycle air-conditioners in the living areas there is nothing quite like the radiating heat from a fire on a winters night. The high ceilings and large, double hung windows create a light and open space, perfect for dining, casual family gatherings or even those work zoom meetings.

Into the lounge you will notice the original dado walls and ceilings along with the high, privacy windows which have cleverly kept in keeping with the origins of the property whilst providing a large, accommodating space. There is ample room to let your imagination run wild in this carpeted room.

Two bedrooms are accessed off this space, one with a lovely skylight window and nobo wall heater. This is where the magic of this property really begins to unfold as you continue through to a third bedroom. In each of these three bedrooms you will find the feature of a mantle piece harking back to another time as well as a compact original oven which makes a great feature in turquoise enamel.

Stepping into the wonderfully open back living area, you can see the large, private deck through glass doors. Off this space is the fourth bedroom also featuring a skylight and nobo wall heater.

The European laundry sits neatly at one end of the second living area and houses washer, dryer and space for other cleaning equipment.

The fifth and main bedroom enjoys privacy whilst being accessed through a small thoroughfare off the living area that includes a separate toilet and linen press. Generously sized, with built in robe, it also has French doors leading out to the deck.

The large main bathroom boasts a separate shower, original claw foot bath and toilet in a central position. There is a fabulous oversized, handmade mirror as well as double basins in this space. Also conveniently located is the second bathroom with a shower and lovely antique hand basin.

Transitioning through a small hallway you find yourself back in the kitchen. This layout really does allow plenty of space for everyone whilst retaining privacy. Setting up a working home office or study would be a breeze without compromising on openness.

Heading outside, the deck is a real treat in itself being large enough to comfortably accommodate a 10 seater table, BBQ and outdoor couch without feeling cramped. Due to the fall of the land, it literally sits amongst the tree-tops and offers a unique vista as well as privacy. There is an established grape vine growing along the railings which produces the most delicious bunches of small red grapes to pick over summer.

The back garden has a combination of grass and garden beds, including a walnut tree and veggie patch, creating an appealing space to enjoy. There is a fabulous olive tree on the verge, just waiting to be harvested. Parking is off Honeysuckle Street allowing for up to 4 vehicles to have easy parking. There is a workshop under the house with full head height clearance.
