Taking pride of place in the main street of the fast growing township of Marong is this refreshingly unique, quality-built home that represents the complete package for a discerning family. Sited on a large 1132m2 allotment, the home has been well built with all the mod-cons, but boasts the sort of timeless character and charm that you would normally only find in period homes around the city centre! Offering a family sized floor plan under roof, the home was extended and updated only six years ago leaving it fresh and vibrant for the new owners to enjoy. Front and side verandas compliment the style and enhance the façade, which is unique to the area. Features include 9ft ceilings, refrigerated reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling throughout, 5KW solar panel system to assist with the electricity bills, security system, and plenty of windows (some with double glazing) allowing loads of natural light. Accommodation is provided by four good sized bedrooms, including the master suite at the front with walk in robe and well-appointed ensuite. All other bedrooms are located in the same wing of the home, and boast built in robes and convenience to the family bathroom boasting shower and bath, and good sized laundry. The fabulous open plan section of the home encompasses the kitchen, dining and spacious family living area respectively. Positioned so as to seamlessly integrate with the alfresco entertaining area outside (thanks in part to glass bi-folding doors that open out), the total remodelled and up to date kitchen work extremely well for the household chef. Mod cons include beautiful stone top benches (inc large island bench with stunning feature light), free standing Falcon Professional oven and cooktop, dishwasher, and loads of built in cabinetry and pantry. There are formal and informal dining options, both as pleasant as each other thanks to a sunny outlook through an abundance of glass. The sizeable second living space is a welcome addition, with a cosy wood fire a lovely touch!, Outside, the landscaped and established fully fenced allotment measures over a quarter acre in size and is great for kids and pets. There is a double carport at the front which extends directly from the oversized double garage, meaning there is covered parking for at least four cars if needed, or boats, caravans and trailers can be accommodated off street. If not, the double garage would make the perfect powered shed, depending on your needs. At the rear of the garage, there is a very handy fifth bedroom/teenagers retreat/bungalow/man cave/home office or studio – a real multi purpose room complete with split system heating/cooling that can be used for numerous purposes – again depending on your personal needs! The huge private and covered alfresco area is an amazing space to relax or entertain outdoors with family and friends whilst you overlook the sparkling inground self-cleaning and solar heated inground pool, which will provide hours of fun and entertainment for all! Other features include established lawns and garden with watering system, mini-orchard, and water tanks. Come and see what all the fuss is about in one of Bendigo’s fastest growing communities in Marong. A walk to the Marong Primary School, Marong Family Hotel, and other local amenities and plenty to come, plus only 12 minutes to the Bendigo CBD. This home represents the complete family package, and ticks all the boxes you can think of. Call now to arrange an inspection
