Every agent will tell you that location is important, but it means a lot more than just buying in a certain part of town. This three-bedroom home in Golden Square is a great example. Not only is it at the end of a peaceful little cul-de-sac, there’s even more to it than its fabulous elevated position with views across Bendigo.

To top it off it has a lovely treed patch of crown land at the front, a perfect buffer from the surrounding homes. The house itself would make an ideal first home or investment property, being an easy-to-maintain brick veneer with quality fittings including hardwood timber windows, door frames and skirtings.

This very neat home has an open-plan living area that incorporates a formal lounge room, meals area, and a refurbished kitchen with porcelain floor tiles, contrasting dark benchtops, great storage and a gas upright stove. Split-system heating and cooling in the lounge keeps the entire house comfortable. All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and two have ceiling fans. They share a refurbished three-piece bathroom and a separate toilet.

The meals area opens to a fully paved veranda along the back of the house, with built-in day seats and a barbecue. The tiered backyard has a small storage shed and plenty of scope for further landscaping. You could easily extend the single carport, or even consider and addition to the house (STCA).
