Not what it seems from the outside.
This house feels much more like an inner city Melbourne warehouse conversion than a traditional weatherboard home. It is tucked away behind a high picket fence with an established hedge and vehicle access via electric remote operated gates, plus a separate pedestrian gate. Located on a quiet street just a short walk to the new Bendigo Hospital and Lake Weeroona yet only a few minute drive to the city centre, supermarkets etc. make this a truly convenient place to live.
Double entrance door opens into two wide (3m) entrance spaces, providing a sense of spaciousness to the home. These lead up a couple of stairs to a generous (6 x 9m) open plan living dining kitchen space with polished concrete floors.
The kitchen has a double sink, dishwasher, gas cooktop, electric wall oven, space for microwave, a nice corner pantry and a long breakfast bar with provision for stools.
Leading off the main living space, through a glass sliding door, takes you to an enormous covered outdoor space – great for entertaining.
There is a very cool NY apartment style staircase leading up to a large (4.5 x 9 m) loft space room which could be used for any range of purposes. A large bedroom/retreat, a studio or craft room, or additional living space. This room has windows at each end for cross ventilation plus a skylight.
The remaining accomodation consists of three carpeted bedrooms, two doubles and a smaller third bedroom, all with generous built-in robes. The main bedroom is separate to the other two and has it’s own 4 piece ensuite (bath, separate shower, toilet and vanity).
The family bathroom is large with a shower over bath, toilet, vanity and European laundry.
At the front of the house is another room which could be used as a formal lounge, additional living space, or a terrific and spacious office, it has a particularly attractive outlook to the trees and front garden.
There is also a handy, good size internal storage room with shelving, plus an outside metal shed for tools, gardening equipment etc.
This is an easy care home – with very low maintenance garden space.
Outside is a single width carport which easily houses 3 vehicles undercover or can double as the outdoor entertaining area off the main living space and still have space for 1 or 2 cars under cover.
A large reverse cycle inverter heating and cooling unit services the main living area plus a brand new evaporative cooling system ducted into the upstairs loft room, the main living area and the two rear bedrooms will also flow through to the front living area keeping the whole house comfortably cool through summer.
