Junortoun’s McIvor Forest Estate has proven itself to be one of the region’s premier places to call home, and this stunning new listing enjoys a top position, backing onto the neighbourhood reserve. The beautiful 804m2 property boasts a spacious and bespoke Cavalier Home, which takes family living to a whole new level of sophistication and style, with all the upgrades and extras you could wish for, inside and out. The handsome façade with landscaped garden promises a home of class and substance. The front door opens to a long entrance hall, perfect for dressing with art and family photos. There are three bedrooms at the front; two with built-in-robes, one with a walk-in-robe and a ceiling fan. There’s also a bathroom and separate powder room cleverly zoned for guests. The master suite at the back of the home is a true retreat. It has a ceiling fan, feature pendants and a glass sliding door to the patio and spa. An expansive walk-in-robe and beautiful ensuite with oversized shower feature. Two living areas cater for a growing family. A rear loungeroom has beautiful built-in joinery and an ambient gas flame heater for winter warmth and charm. The open-plan living area has a luxuriously appointed kitchen with an abundance of workspace, creating a balance between functionality and personality. It includes a long, clear waterfall island bench, stone benchtops, a 600mm oven and 900mm gas cooktop; dishwasher, window splashback and walk-in-pantry. The black Samsung French door fridge/freezer is plumbed in and included in the sale. Outside, a gorgeous outdoor entertaining area has both direct access from both the main and private living areas. It has a tiled floor and pull-down bistro blinds, increasing the living space and allowing for the indoor/outdoor lifestyle we love in Bendigo. The five-person Sapphire My Oasis spa is staying in place. In addition to the large double garage there is a 6m x 6m shed, with power and concrete floor. Extensive aggregate concrete driveway and pathways feature, plus two water tanks and a reticulated sprinkler system help keep the landscaped gardens looking gorgeous. Side vehicle access for caravan parking is a noteworthy feature. But there’s much more to consider here including ducted cooling, ducted zoned heating and a ducted vacuum system. The energy efficient credentials are excellent, thanks to a 5kw solar system, double glazed windows throughout, quality insulation and an instant hot water system.
