WITH the look of a double storey villa, and views of the Greater Bendigo National Park, this elevated corner property offers privacy and convenience. As the agent says, “it really doesn't feel like you're in town at all.”
A tiered front garden of cypresses and standard roses leads to a verandah that protects three sides of the house - the perfect place to enjoy those views.
Inside you'll find a welcoming home that makes the most of timber to create ambience and warmth, particularly the floating timber floors and wooden venetian blinds.
To the left of the entrance is a formal lounge room with gas heating, while to the right is a second living area, possibly a dining room given its proximity to the all-timber kitchen.
The kitchen also features an electric upright stove, pantry and an as-new Bosch dishwasher.
Adjacent, the laundry has five storage cupboards and access to the downstairs toilet.
All three bedrooms are upstairs, each with built-in wardrobes, ceiling fans, and as you'd expect, wonderful views. There's also a family bathroom with a raised oval-shaped bath tub, a corner shower, vanity and toilet.
Evaporative cooling ensures that things stay comfortable upstairs when the weather warms up.
Landscaped in natural stone, the backyard rises over three levels, with a series of steps and retaining walls. There are both open spaces for enjoying winter sun, and a covered entertaining area for summer shade.
A double carport has easy access from the side street and there's also a 5 x 3-metre weatherboard workshop with power, and a handy 9,000 litres of rainwater storage.
All this within walking distance of the university and local schools
