FROM the anticipated new Bendigo Hospital and the growth that follows, a heavy demand for housing is sure to come, so here's your chance to get in on the ground floor. As an investment property in the hospital precinct, this four- to five-bedroom home will provide you with an excellent return. The weatherboard home, with its picket fence, is a happy blending of the old with the new. The front section comprises a big living room that has one of the home's two reverse-cycle split-systems, three well-lit and large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom. Another room, with a hardwood floor, could be either a fifth bedroom or study. From the old section you step through to a large modern extension with an open-plan layout at its heart. Polished pine floorboards add a warm note in the kitchen and meals areas. The kitchen has a gas cooktop, electric wall oven, a dishwasher and built-in pantry. In the living area, which is carpeted, a big bay window overlooks the deck. The main bedroom has french doors to the back deck, a walk-through wardrobe and its own access to a two-way spa bathroom with twin vanities, while opposite the bathroom is a large laundry with a folding bench and storage. There's plenty of the latter throughout the house. Two sets of sliding doors open to a long, undercover deck where the setting sun and barbecues can be enjoyed. The property has a single carport. There's a bus stop on street and the home is close to the CBD and of course the hospital precinct. Phone for an inspection without delay and see the opportunities for yourself.
