If you're one of those who knows how to take something dated and make it shine, and if you want to go big on everything but the initial outlay, this might be just what you need. A nice big two storey home of around 35 squares on a nice big parcel of around 47 acres, with the big bonus of loads of shedding as well.
While the home could really use a refurbishment, it has great bones and you can see by the exposed beams downstairs, that it has been really well built and is solid as a rock. At a glance you can tell that in it's heyday, this would have been considered a really luxurious home.
Upstairs, which can be accessed both internally and externally, houses all the main functional spaces. There are ceiling fans and ducted evaporative cooling throughout the first floor. A u-shaped kitchen, dining, lounge area has direct access to a full length balcony at the front of the home, and opens onto a large separate family room or sunroom. The lounge also has a gas heater and is where you will find the staircase. The kitchen has a large fridge space, a new upright gas stove, and a full height panty at the end of the cabinetry providing some separation and creating a servery.
Just down a hall towards the other end of the home you will find three bedrooms and the bathroom facilities. The main bedroom has dual built-in robes with a built-in dresser between them, the second bedroom has built-in robes with a fixed full length mirror in between, and its own balcony facing the rear of the property. The third bedroom is directly across the hall from a walk-through-robe / linen press, with doors so it's always tidy, leading to the powder room style separate toilet. This is right next door to a two piece bathroom with a shower and vanity unit.
Downstairs there are two large rooms separated by a sitting room at the base of the stairs. There is also a four piece bathroom through which the laundry is accessed and a large double garage has direct access to the home. These are very versatile spaces providing you with lots of options to renovate or refurbish the home to suit your families personal wants, needs or desires.
Other noteworthy attributes are a 13 panel solar system and solar hot water, a large open fronted shed with loads of room for at least four vehicles with a highset caravan port attached, ideal for a boat or horse float, three large tanks for the provision of around 90,000 litres of rainwater storage together with a big dam that the owners tell me is 30' deep in the centre and has never been dry in all the years they have owned it.
This property represents a great opportunity to value add, for an astute buyer who is willing to roll up their sleeves and give this home and property a good freshening up. It is very handy to everything that you could possibly need day to day, being situated only 10 minutes' drive from Lansell Square or the Kangaroo Flat shopping strip and just 15 minutes from Bendigo's CBD. For the kids a school bus pickup point is available nearby and Lockwood South and Lockwood Primary Schools are both only a stones throw away.
