This double-fronted 1950s cottage is cute, compact, and has been updated and renovated in areas. Looking for a memorable first home with loads of character? Here’s a hot contender, on the Bendigo side of the suburb. The address is approximately 2km from the heart of town – or an easy cycle down the hill for work or pleasure. There’s plenty to love about this property. The 3.7 x 7 metre enclosed carport with roller door is a practical addition, as is the garden shed. Landscaping is in place, although there’s still fun to be had in the garden. Inside, take note of the blessed high ceilings, picture rails and decorative cornice of the period. There are two bright and happy, light-filled bedrooms, both with ceiling fans and built-in-robes. The rear bedroom has double French doors opening to the patio. A bonus study will suit our new-norm working-from-home lifestyle, with a Birdseye view of the rear yard. The open-plan living space is looking sharp with fresh grey-and-white paint work. The original brick hearth is still a focal point, with a gas log heater for warmth and charm come winter. Ducted cooling also features. The modern eat-in kitchen will please, with its pantry cupboard, glass splashback, deep pot drawers, stainless-steel dishwasher, wall oven and cook top. Outside, a brick-paved undercover area effectively doubles the living space. There’s room here for outdoor dining and lounge furniture, plus beloved pots. The backyard beyond is a great size, especially for a property this close to town. Our advice is to act fast!
