Orbost VIC 3888

There are two exits from the living room, one to the kitchen and second to the large dining room. The kitchen is bright and light filled with plenty of room for the master chef in the family to whip up a feast. Tiled throughout, the kitchen has an abundance of cupboard space, a ceiling fan, dishwasher, near new electric stove and oven and is separated from the dining room by a breakfast bar. The skylit dining room, like the rest of the property, is also huge. Also tiled throughout, it has a row of windows overlooking a bright sunroom. The spacious laundry stems from the dining room and is complete with a fourth toilet. The sunroom spans across the rear of the main home into the air-conditioned rumpus room on the western side of the home?a room to really make your own. Possibilities include a man cave, she-shed, craft room, extra bedroom, second lounge?the possibilities are endless.

Venture up the stairs and enter the large, attached, fully self-contained unit. A combined lounge and dining form the centerpiece of the unit, with a delightful and bright kitchen complete with a dishwasher, plenty of cupboard space and a full stove/oven. There are two bedrooms in the unit, both carpeted and with built in robes. The combined bathroom and laundry is equipped with an easy walk-in shower with non-slip, hospital style flooring. The unit has its own second entry onto the veranda and down to the rear lawn via a wheelchair/walker friendly ramp. A split system, reverse cycle air conditioner keeps the temperature comfortable throughout the seasons.

The front of the home has a lovely veranda with new decking to enjoy the fresh air, smell the roses and just sit and watch the world go by. The established gardens are bright and colourful with a wide variety of garden beds, roses, and manicured lawns. The yard is just huge with a total block size of 1369 m2 providing plenty of room for pets or the children or grandchildren to run around and explore. There's plenty of room to plant some more fruit trees and grow your own vegetables. A carport at the rear and a shed provide additional undercover parking and storage.

The cost of electricity will also be offset by thirty-two grid connected solar panels on the roof whilst there is also a near new heat pump, hot water system. The roof was also repainted around four years ago whilst around the same time, the outside of the home was updated with insulated vinyl form plex style cladding. This cladding has a fifty-year warranty and there is even sufficient spare cladding to clad the shed.

This property is in a perfect location. A very short stroll will take you to the Orbost CBD whilst that largest supermarket in town, Food works, is just up the road. Orbost is a friendly, welcoming community. There is a P-12 Community College, Regional Hospital and Medical Centre, two supermarkets, banks, cafes, and eateries as well as an aged care home and village, and a hotel. Orbost is located just up the river from the seaside town of Marlo, renowned for its fishing and boating. It's around a forty-five-minute drive to the Gippsland Lakes at Lakes Entrance and around an hour to the major rural hub of Bairnsdale. East Gippsland has a lot to offer both its residents and tourists alike with natural bushland and unspoiled rivers and beaches.
