20 Sparrowhawk Road Long Gully VIC

There’s a lot to love about this charming period home, starting with its position on an approx 1079m2 corner block. Savvy investors and developers will note the clear subdivision potential, subject to council approval. (STCA) Fronting Sparrowhawk Road, Albert Street and Cunneen Street. And then there’s the house; sympathetically restored and renovated in all the right areas, it’s a gorgeous example of the era, when light-filled rooms and high ceilings represented post-war optimism. The freshly painted weatherboard has loads of street appeal thanks its heritage features of a low brick front fence, an elevated cup-of-tea porch and twin brick chimneys. Inside, the home retains its original footprint of wide central hallway, three bedrooms, a front loungeroom, eat-in kitchen, central bathroom and rear laundry. The polished timber hardwood floors are a stand out feature along with the brand new grey toned carpets. Of the carpeted bedrooms, one has a built-in-robe. Coveted features remain throughout, including decorative cornice, timber picture rails, timber framed sash windows and frosted glass doors. Modern additions in the loungeroom are an original brick hearth, a ceiling fan and also ducted floor heating throughout. The kitchen is a keeper. Its solid timber cabinets beautifully compliment the highly-polished hardwood floorboards. There’s a stainless-steel wall oven, a gas cooktop and a brand new sink under the window for blue-sky washing up views, along with stone benchtops. The bathroom is another recent addition. It’s stylishly tiled and has a shower over the bath, a vanity and toilet and adds a modern touch to the home. Outside, neat concrete paths and patio spaces frame the lawn. There’s also a secret garden room encased within a high hedge for privacy, home stay picnics for the kids, or turn it into the perfect BBQ or fire pit area. Various original sheds with new colourbond flashing and colourbond cladding. (No concrete or power) The address is close to the walking track, reserve, splash park of Long Gully and minutes to the post office, fish shop and chemist warehouse. It’s also handy to the Bendigo Stadium and less than 4km to the heart of Bendigo.
