Situated only minutes away from the heart of Bendigo and just one block from the McIvor Road commercial centre, this modern cottage style home offers potential owners a great location and lifestyle opportunity. Sitting on a large block in one of Kennington’s most sought after pockets, number 18 Hodgkinson Street presents an ideal opportunity for couples, small families, retirees, investors or those buying their first home.

The home features a well sized, recently updated kitchen which has plenty of bench and cupboard space and modern amenities. The living and dining room are combined into an open plan living area which is complimented by 9 foot ceilings, a solid fuel heater, ceiling fan, refrigerated split system AC/heater and decorative ceiling rose features.

The two bedrooms are spacious and include original features such as the decorative ceiling rose, open fireplace and timber framed sash windows. The master bedroom also includes a built in robe. The family bathroom has been recently renovated and is functional and of good size. The laundry is also well sized and features a second toilet. Keeping to its cottage style, this house has polished hardwood floorboards throughout, a large central entry hall and a recently painted weatherboard exterior.

An extensive garden and large backyard with an outdoor seating area makes the perfect setting for entertaining. A bonus feature of the established garden includes an array of fruit trees including plums, nectarines, apples, pears, raspberries, strawberries, grapes, almonds and pomegranates – which are all watered by three 2000L rain water tanks and an electric pump.

The large rear yard also lends itself to further subdivision (STCA), which is assisted by the wide driveway and lack of planning overlays (e.g. no Heritage Overlay).

The property is also fully fenced and includes a large colorbond shed which is connected to electricity and an attached car port / pergola. Additional features of note include underfloor and ceiling insulation.

An inspection is a must for this gem of a home.
