Well located off Junortoun Road in a quiet, bushland setting, you'll find this 4-bedroom family home set on an expansive 2.5-acre block. Architecturally designed in the late 1970s, the home has been well-maintained and is full of original '70s character and features. Built to incorporate passive design principles, the residence has a perfect aspect for every time of day. Access to the outdoors is key, with multiple large glass sliding doors to take you to various enjoyable garden nooks. The thoughtfully designed home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living spaces and extensive outdoor shedding, all on a vast bush block. You enter the property via a circular gravel drive with a deliberately unassuming street presence. The natural bush setting is welcoming and provides a sense of tranquillity as you take in the large property. Upon entry, you'll immediately find the main bedroom, with an ensuite and a large built-in robe tucked away for ultimate privacy. The first living area includes raked pine ceilings, a wood fire heater with a feature red brick chimney and a feature wall with Barestone cladding. Continue through to the kitchen, which is clean and bright and has a Smeg 4-burner gas stove, Miele dishwasher, large walk-in pantry and access to the laundry and outside. The third space, at the end of the home, incorporates the remaining 3-bedrooms, a second living room with wall shelving and the main bathroom, including a sunken bath and a separate toilet. Split systems offer highly efficient heating and cooling, offset by the 5kW solar panel system. Outside is full of delights for a growing family or those with a green thumb. With pergolas, two large storage sheds , a fernery, established vegetable boxes and lovely native planting, there's plenty of scope for creating a thriving garden. In addition, there is ample space surrounding the home for kids' play equipment or for boat, caravan and multiple vehicle storage with room to spare. Access Honeyeater Reserve and the O'Keefe trail at your doorstep. Located just 11kms from the centre of Bendigo, with easy access to the local shopping precincts of Strathfieldsaye or Strathdale, you'll be living a dream bushland lifestyle while having every convenience only 10 minutes away.
