Mandurang VIC 3551

Custom designed by current owners in collaboration with Paul Gray Builders, this modern marvel was completed a mere six months ago. It offers an alternative to starting a new home from scratch with all the associated delays and supply issues.

Nothing is insipid or bland about the home - it's a mercurial mix of light, space, comfort and contemporary style perfectly perched on a rural lot approx 3.21 ha (7.94acres).

Luxuriating at the end of a recycled asphalt driveway, with side boundary bordered by the native bushland of the Bendigo Regional Park, the home measuring approx 44+ square under roof encompasses four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rumpus/second living room, a study nook/control room, two sleek bathrooms and spacious state-of-the-art kitchen/dining and living areas.

The stunning living zone features soaring raked ceilings amplifying the space and light-adding clerestory windows above a wall of double-glazed windows with automated blinds overlooking sweeping lush green front lawns.

Gourmet cooks will find catering for sizeable gatherings a no-brainer with the aid of a large butler's pantry, a 900mm Smeg gas/electric range, an integrated Asko dishwasher and ample cabinetry with a benchmark waterfall-end stone-topped island taking centre stage.

Serve aperitifs and dinner in the adjacent dining and living areas before moving through big glass sliders for after-dinner drinks under the extensive east-facing alfresco with a polished concrete base.

The king-size main suite isolated to one end incorporates a walk-in-robe and sleek ensuite boasting full-wall tiling,
double shower, twin vanities and a separate WC.

The opposite end houses a storage-rich laundry, a powder room, the family bathroom, three robed bedrooms and the second living/rumpus room with external glass sliders.

Other things to love include - easy-care polished concrete floors; 40mm bench tops;
Smart home technology featuring an internal/external audio system with surround sound and subwoofer to the main living room, a 16-camera security system on the house and shed, a virtual camera doorbell and wifi boosters. Two ducted reverse cycle systems are complemented by ceiling fans and a split system air conditioners in the main bedroom.

A triple auto garage under the house roofline with direct access takes care of the family fleet, and a massive 30m x 15m Colorbond shed with 4.2m height, concrete floor, power and a toilet is every car enthusiast, handyman, or tradies dream.

The backyard has plenty of room for children or pets to play safely, with a large grassed area with excellent scope for a future pool if desired. A 6.9 Mgl water entitlement, approx 4 Mgl dam and 219,000+ltrs of rainwater storage ensure a secure water supply for the house and auto garden sprinklers.

This as-new house and oversized shed make a striking statement only a 10-minute drive to the centre of Bendigo. It sets a precedent for a lifestyle of style and privacy that needs to be experienced to be appreciated.
