27 Marong Road IRONBARK VIC

This is a fine example of an original early Art Deco style home boasting most of its original features and charm, a great position and a lovely large allotment of 904m2. It is ripe for a renovation, extension or just a cosmetic makeover to restore some of the lovely features on offer. The home is solid brick throughout and has a lovely mix of red brick and white-rendered brick; a Terracotta tiled roof, a really nice original front veranda, high ceilings including some feature ceiling roses inside; two beautiful bay windows and lots of original leadlight. The canvas hasn’t really been touched for many years, there are some minor cracks here and there, but it seems very solid under foot. All rooms are large including the main bedroom which boasts a lovely feature ornate fireplace at the front of the home; the second and third bedrooms are also spacious. The bathroom has storage and plenty of space but requires an update at some point. The lounge is large and light-filled with its big bay window; there’s a fire place and it is adjacent to the kitchen-meals. The kitchen is almost original with some cabinetry and an upright cooker, there is plenty of room for a table and the whole floor plan is perfect for an extension STCA. Outside is a small rear veranda, there’s an external laundry, basic garden shed and a 4m x 5m approx. powered shed/workshop and plenty of yard space. The gardens are established, there are two water tanks (one with a pressure pump) and good drainage around the house. As the crow flies it is only 1.2km to Bendigo’s CBD, transport shops and schools are all very close, it looks simply superb from kerbside and is in a great price bracket for such a sought-after period home.
