The first thing you notice on inspection of this beauty is the bushland directly across the road. Right now, the understory is peppered with sunny everlasting daisies, while the canopy is teeming with birdlife. This amazing view is enjoyed from the master bedroom, the loungeroom, kitchen and dining space. Simply slide open those original aluminium picture windows and enjoy!
The second fact to note is the renovation. Here's a home that's as good as brand new. The young, creative vendors have spent the year undertaking a complete and professional overhaul of their much-loved property.
From the healthy new landscaping to the fresh exterior and interior paint job, to the brand new kitchen and bathroom, there's not one inch of this property that hasn't been polished to perfection.
Past the lush green lawn, framed by crepe myrtles and hedging plants, the front porch opens to an entrance hall, newly-polished original floorboards, decorative cornice and the promise of something special.
The main front bedroom has a four-door built-in-robe and sleek black ceiling fan. Bedrooms two and three also have fans and robes, and all have new charcoal carpet.
The loungeroom is huge, with plenty of space for oversized modular furniture. Throw a large rug over the floorboards and make the space your own. The kitchen is also easy to personalise, with its all-white benchtop, cupboards, pot drawers and pantry. Stainless steel appliances have barely been used.
You'd be forgiven for choosing this house on the bathroom alone. The vendors have created a true sanctuary that belies the home's 1960s origins. Floor-to-ceiling tiles, a feature bath, shower, toilet and floating blackbutt vanity are simply stunning.
Ducted heating and cooling, modern downlights and fantastic storage options feature throughout.
Past the new laundry, which matches that gorgeous kitchen, and a second toilet, the backdoor opens to an undercover alfresco area. Enjoy watching your new pittosporum hedge grow, as well as the beautiful backdrop of ornamental pears. A classic Hills Hoist and backyard shed complete the property.
Jacob Street is in a quiet pocket of North Bendigo, just 5km to the centre of Bendigo. You'll love the location just as much as the house.
