This freestanding brick unit comes with plenty of welcome surprises to boost it to the top of the budget-conscious buyer’s list. Situated at the rear of a block of three, the property is well set back from the road, yet surrounded by open space, so there’s no chance of feeling boxed in. Likewise within the home, where a high raked ceiling in the living area adds to the size. There are two bedrooms, both with built-in robes. A combined laundry and bathroom mean there’s no excuse for the washing to pile up! The neat kitchen has a gas upright stove, overhead cupboards and a small breakfast bar. There’s also space for a compact dining table in the open-plan living room, with its on-trend exposed brick feature wall. Outside, the features continue. The secure backyard has a bonus garden shed, and there’s a single carport separating the home from the neighbour. But the amount of space here leaves you plenty of options. The actual block size is double the unit and backyard footprint. Use the front yard as parking for visitors or extra vehicles, or develop it into your very own private garden sanctuary. The property is handy to all of Eaglehawk’s fantastic facilities, or an easy 10-minute drive back into Bendigo. It’s an ideal addition to the portfolio, although first home buyers will also appreciate the extras.
