SERENE COUNTRY HOMESTEAD LIVING
Away from the hustle and bustle of city living, but still close enough to your neighbours that you don’t feel completely isolated, is this charming homestead. Set amongst beautiful country surrounds and thick bushland, this fantastic period property is an easy drive from the town of Marong and Bendigo.

Set on just under 20 acres, this spacious weatherboard home features a beautiful, wide wrap-around verandah along with a single garage and triple carport.

Stunning original features include leadlight glass, period doors, dado boards, double sash windows and more.

The wide main hallway sets the scene for true country style leading to four spacious bedrooms, the master with a double built-in robe, and all four with ceiling fans. The front rooms offer large ornate original windows and a huge floor-to-ceiling linen closet in the hallway adds to the many storage options found in the house.

A fabulous family bathroom with black and white checkered tiles, a gorgeous freestanding claw foot bathtub, timber vanity and separate shower continues to showcase the charming character found throughout.

The large and light kitchen and dining room features a walk-in pantry, dado boards, timber-lined ceilings and a beautiful vintage Rayburn wood burning stove alongside modern appliances. A door leads from the kitchen out to the verandah.

The dining space enjoys a bay window looking out over the bushland and dam beyond, and a wood burning heater and a ceiling fan adds comfort to the space regardless of temperature changes.

Through decorative glass doors at the end of the central hall is a large lounge. The open fireplace with a timber mantle on a solid brick chimney is a standout feature. Sliding glass doors open out on both sides of the room and the space also benefits from ceiling fans, dado boards, a timber-lined ceiling and quality timber floorboards.

One sliding door opens out to the carport and to a door at the rear of the property that leads through to the separate laundry. To the other side, the slider opens onto the lovely al fresco area, with a ceiling fan and built-in barbeque.

At the back of the home is a separate space split into a home office, large laundry and shower and toilet. This can be accessed on both sides of the verandah.

Steps from the al fresco lead down to the back garden where you can find an outdoor brick fireplace and paved area along with a huge sandpit for the kids.

The main yard is fully fenced and also includes shedding and tanks.
