This private bushland sanctuary is blessedly buffered from the hustle and bustle, and yet, it’s just five minutes’ drive from both the Strathfieldsaye township and Catherine McAuley College. Take the short drive to the bend of Somerset Park Road, then turn in and up a winding driveway between tall gums to find a lush clearing and an expansive homestead nestled among the trees. The wide brick veneer home embodies the best of Australian style, with its full-length veranda and banks of windows to take in the views, which feature from every room. Inside, discover a truly generous and flexible floorplan in which to spread out and grow with. A phenomenal, light-filled living space spans the entire width of the home, with zoned carpeted and tiled areas to distinguish the dining and lounge areas. The country kitchen is characterized by the views of the native trees beyond. It also features a big island bench & practical pot drawers. There are three bedrooms, two ensuite bathrooms with wide, frameless showers, and a powder room. A study has built-in storage and desk space. The living spaces continue with an all-weather built-in alfresco with raked ceiling off the back of the home, and beyond that, an undercover timber deck and rear veranda. There’s also a shed and carport, in addition to the double garage under the roofline. Enjoy a beautiful tree change with all the convenience of being only 10km from the heart of Bendigo and just minutes from many of the city’s best schools.
