This tranquil 2.24ha (5.3 acres) property set among the gum trees has no plum trees or sheep, but it does have town water and you may see a kangaroo or two out the back. Set back from the road, the stylishly modernised home offers style, comfort, space and an unrivalled lifestyle surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and a stunning backdrop of tall, young Yellow Box eucalypts. The spacious four-bedroom (plus study) home features two large, separate living zones and a dining area abutting the galley-style kitchen showcasing a Smeg 900mm gas/electric range, a dishwasher, a stone-topped bench/breakfast bar, ample cupboard space, pot drawers and a sizeable walk-in pantry. The living room includes a cosy wood-fired heater (Turboheat ducted throughout the home). The separate family/rumpus rooms feature a double-sided wood heater and big glass sliders to the wrap-around, covered outdoor living area ready for carefree alfresco dining and entertaining beside the sparkling 11m x 4m inground pool. The U-shaped floorplan conveniently places the study near the front door - it's the perfect spot for working from home with its serene garden outlook. Three good-sized bedrooms (BIR), the family bathroom, a powder room, a walk-in linen store and the laundry fill the north wing. The main suite, isolated beyond the living areas, boasts a fitted walk-in robe and a larger-then-average ensuite with a relaxing corner spa bath, twin vanity basins, an in situ shower and a separate toilet. There is so much more here than meets the eye, with notable extras including, Ducted LPG gas heating, evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, vacuum and security systems. Outside the fenced house yard, there's a plus-sized double remote garage (with internal access), a 6m x 7m powered shed/workshop, raised vegetable/herb beds, two rainwater tanks and a sprinkler system maintaining all garden areas. The current owners have loved living here and have devoted much time and effort to transforming the property into a private oasis. Imagine waking up to the sounds of the local birds or watching the children playing pretend dinosaurs among the trees. The location is 200 metres from the school bus stop, a mere six-minute drive to Strathfieldsaye shops, schools, childcare, etc., and fourteen minutes to the Bendigo CBD. Only an inspection will reveal all it has to offer lucky new owners.
