Do you have thoughts of raising your family on a few acres but can't face the prospect of spending precious time driving to and from work, school, or shopping? The postal address of this acreage property may be Maiden Gully, but the physical location, on the cusp of Golden Square and West Bendigo, is a mere 8-minute drive from the CBD.
A winding driveway leads to the highest point of the approx. 1.761Ha (4.35 acres) lot, where the spacious homestead, shaded by a full-length front verandah, sits in extensive landscaped grounds.
The home offers all the conveniences for family living with three living areas, a stylish kitchen, four good-sized bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, and laundry.
The formal end of the home includes the dining room, a study with built-in desk/cabinetry, and a sunken lounge with a gas-log fire set in a white fireplace.
The oversized main suite enjoys external access to a side verandah, a walk-in-robe and an updated ensuite with a relaxing spa bath, shower recess, vanity unit, and separate WC.
A separate children's wing comprises three robed bedrooms (one with an ensuite), the renovated main bathroom and a large laundry.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, meals area and family living room, where a frameless glass window wall provides 180-degree vistas of the massive covered alfresco, pool and rear gardens.
Catering for family and friends will be a joy in this kitchen, upgraded with an L-shaped granite-topped island, an electric induction cooktop and oven, a dishwasher, a pantry, and ample storage.
A four-car carport has direct access to the residence and adjoins the brick garage converted to a versatile timber-lined rumpus, games room, or a home-based workplace with a split system a/c.
Extensive covered and paved outdoor living areas will cope with full-scale family gatherings, whatever the weather, while the younger set splash about in the solar-heated kidney-shaped pool.
Notable extras include 3mt ceilings, bay windows, a broad tiled entry foyer, two double linen cupboards, a renewed solar power system, town water and a substantial brick shed/workshop.
It's time to rethink your plans and arrange for a private inspection!
