Bendigo VIC 3550

The Ultimate Lifestyle Changer
THE beauty of the past combines with the best of inner-city living at this address. You can walk to most things: schools, shops, cafes, the railway station (think 80-minute express train to the city) and more. But don?t be fooled. The five-bedroom home has 26 solar panels on the roof giving the owners free electricity, and three rainwater tanks together with fruit trees and vegie gardens offer a real alternative to buying your weekly produce. On the aesthetic side there are stained timber doors and bay windows with leadlight or patterned glass; high ceilings and deep skirting boards, and above all a wonderful feeling of space and comfort. On the practical side there is ducted heating, heaps of storage, and a great mix of rooms giving you plenty of options. The substantial double-brick home on a double block has five very large bedrooms, two bathrooms, one en suite and many living areas. Mt Gambier stone surrounds two fireplaces, one open, the other with a gas heater. There?s a beautifully-lit formal lounge and dining room, a large study with fitted timber shelves, a huge open-plan dining, family and kitchen area with a wall oven, dishwasher, timber breakfast bar and bench tops. The back garden, overlooked by a large undercover entertaining area is full of treasures. Lime and olive are among the many varieties of citrus and stone fruit trees. A full-size tennis court will provide hours of fun and exercise. A red-brick building, once a dance hall, could become a venue for yoga or painting classes, a studio, or a bedsit for grandparents. Further back is a building with a toilet, and fittings for a shower, while another building is presently used as a workshop, and there?s a 20-metre six-vehicle carport. Bendigo has much to offer: culture, wine and food, good schools and fresh air. It?s an exciting property filled with endless potential. If all this sounds too good to be true, phone the agent and see it for yourself.
