Ask the locals what they love about Spring Gully and their long list will feature the natural environment, the sporting facilities, the tracks and trails, the primary school, the hotel and the café. Number 183 Retreat Road is just a short stroll to the lot, plus has the enviable position of backing onto the beautiful Spring Creek walking and cycling path, with its majestic gums and bird life. Add to this an amazing 1736m2 block and a renovated four-bedroom home, and you’re enjoying the best of Bendigo life. A handsome façade and spacious landscaped front yard is a lovely welcome home here. Inside, find four bedrooms with built-in-robes and ceiling fans, and two bathrooms. The as-new ensuite has floor-to-ceiling tiles and contemporary fittings, while the family bathroom features a corner spa. Two huge living areas are either side of the central kitchen. Each is approximately 9 x 4m in size, meaning you’re spoilt for space here. The front living room has an updated vinyl plank floor, while the rear living room has a tiled floor and a home office behind fold-back doors. The kitchen is the warm heart of the home, with space for everyone to cook together. It has a dishwasher, pantry, under-bench oven, induction cooktop and rangehood. The living areas continues outside, with an undercover and elevated timber deck, with built-in-barbecue area and ceiling fan. Venture into the deep backyard to find a studio and two sheds providing 119m2 of workshop and storage space. The larger shed has a solid fuel heater, further extending its uses. Explore the possibility of subdivision, subject to council approval, or simply enjoy the rare space; your children will thank you for it in the years to come, especially considering there’s a gate to the walking path, connecting home to school via one of the city’s prettiest paths.
