Exceptional resort-style living is yours for the taking – the commanding street presence hints at what lies beyond. Set in a quiet street opposite a Bushland Reserve and adjoining a landscaped water race easement, this architectural masterpiece offers free-flowing spaciousness spread over two levels. The upper (street) level opens from a wide timber door into an entry foyer graced with high ceilings and long wall niches. The large main suite boasts a touch of luxury with access to a private courtyard and a sleek ensuite (twin vanities, in-situ shower, separate WC.), built-in robes and a walk-in robe/dressing room. The epicentre of the home is the extensive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area filled with natural light courtesy of a wall of North-facing windows. A functional-yet-modern design is the key to the kitchen with its substantial island bench, Bosch dishwasher and induction cooktop,/under-bench oven with window splashback overlooking the picturesque water race. It has exceptional storage options with cupboards, pot drawers, a butler's pantry, a walk-in store and direct access from the garage for unloading the shopping. Sliding doors from the living area roll back to a wrap-around timber deck - perfect for entertaining or relaxing. It's enriched by a tall bamboo privacy screen, adding to the tropical feel- so much so you'll find it hard to believe you are still in Bendigo. An internal staircase leads to the lower level comprising a large living room, three robed bedrooms, another sleek bathroom and a kitchenette/laundry. How much would your teenagers or guests love having a self-contained floor to themselves - while a separate side access also affords AirBNB opportunities? The highlight of the approx 550m² triangular lot is the unique landscaped backyard melding perfectly with the communal gardens surrounding the water race easement. Imagine relaxing in the shaded gardens or dining on the deck with the rippling stream bubbling away in the background. Notable extras include a powder room, timber-look floors, surround sound speakers, oversized double auto garage with workbench/sink and storage cupboards, 3-phase power and an energy-efficient 14.2Kw solar power/battery system. A 3km drive will have you in the CBD, with Coles supermarket, schools, cafes, sporting facilities, etc., close by. Book your private tour today.
