Where was this listing during lockdown, you may ask. However, there’ll be no looking back when you make the choice of a lifetime to move your family to this outstanding property. Privately located off Crusoe Road, the large block backs onto the tree-lined Bendigo Creek Trail, and a scenic walk or cycle to the Crusoe Reservoir in one direction, Lansell Square in the other. Within the boundaries, life is just as sweet. Consider a self-cleaning, solar-heated, salt-water inground pool with under water lighting and pergola beside. A tennis court with flood lights. Raised vegetable beds and water tank. A second alfresco under the home’s roofline, plus built-in pizza oven and mains gas barbecue. The house is likewise impressive. With three huge living areas and five bedrooms, it’s designed for space and entertaining. Double doors open to a wide entrance hall with feature lighting for artwork. The master suite at the front has a ceiling fan, walk-in-robe and ensuite with wide shower and separate loo. The further four bedrooms have ceiling fans and built-in-robes. The excellent storage continues with a mud room and a walk-in linen cupboard. The family bathroom boasts a spa. A rumpus, plus a loungeroom, both have double entrance doors and wired-in surround sound speakers. The open-plan living space will be everyone’s go-to this winter, with its gorgeous ambient electric flame fireplace. The contemporary kitchen features a long waterfall island bench, glass splashback, pot drawers, walk-in-pantry, 900mm gas or electric stove and new Smeg rangehood. Double stacker doors by the living and dining spaces open to the rear patio for seamless indoor/outdoor living come summer. A home for all seasons, there is zoned ducted heating and evaporative cooling, made energy efficient thanks to double glazed windows and solar panels. Wireless security cameras, secure side gates and electric roller doors on the double garage and shed will ensure your peace of mind. As will the professionally-installed gutter protection on the creek side of the house and both sides of the shed. What can’t be seen here are the resident kookaburras, but you’ll hear them join the morning and evening bird chorus; just one of the privileges of this beautiful bushland setting.
