Your own private little oasis while still enjoying city fringe living, this West Bendigo investment opportunity is one not to miss. Sitting on a generous 966sqm allotment (with potential to subdivide STCA) and around the corner from Bendigo Stadium, Spotlight, Saint John of God Hospital and just a quick trip to CBD – the location alone is a standout. Stepping inside the picket fence and onto your neatly presented property you'll instantly feel at home and away from the hustle and bustle. Shady trees and established gardens create a serene vibe, and you won't miss your massive palm tree to the left adding to its charm. A quaint front veranda provides a relaxing spot to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking your gardens. Either enter the home through the front door or slip around to the back through the carport and through the gate, into the secure backyard. The home dates back to the 1940s – originally built for returning soldiers – it oozes as much charm and character as it does modern and comfortable living. Baltic pine flooring, leadlight windows, an ornate wood burning fireplace and decorative tiles and ceilings throughout gives a beautiful nod to the era. The updated kitchen boasts modern floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, solid redgum benchtops, quality stainless steel appliances and views of both the front and backyards. Enjoy breakfast with the family sitting at the L shape built-in breakfast bench while overlooking garden views. A central light filled living room leads to your three bedrooms offering built-in robes – the master with a ceiling fan – and is serviced by the main three-piece bathroom with bath. The backyard is packed with practicality and family friendly features; a large semi in-ground swimming pool, cubby house, bird aviary, 25,000 water tank, a concreted double garage with rear yard vehicle access and is surrounded by more shady landscaping. Central ducted floor heating, a split system in the kitchen/lounge and a refrigerated wall cooler adds to the home's climate control features. In its central location and on its generous allotment size, this property could be the ideal home you've been searching for. Arrange your inspection today with Jesse Forbes.
