23 Clarence Avenue KENNINGTON VIC

This is a street scape which is a delight to drive along & amp;acirc; full of house proud neighbors who all aspire to the same standard of living. This 1950s home has been lovingly kept to preserve the original features of the home, such a rarity these days with updates added over the years that dont flow with the original style of the home. On entering the home the large lounge is to your left, a lovely feature of this room is the floor to picture rail high corner windows with timber venetians setting the ambiance and brick fire surround with a gas heater. The large Retro kitchen includes the dining at one end and has plenty of good storage with floor to ceiling cupboards on one wall, pantry and electric upright stove. Elegant lead-light windows sit either side of the original slow combustion stove, still use-able if only for heating the kitchen, the colours in here are typical of the area, bold and charismatic sure to uplift and bring out the chef in you. The front two bedrooms are good sizes the main with a wall of mirrored robes and both having ceiling fans and picture rails. The light in the third bedroom is soul warming with plenty of windows that overlook the back garden and capture the afternoon sun. The laundry is simple but adequate with a separate loo beside it, opposite this is the study or sewing room. The checkerboard tiled bathroom is just a delight and on inspection will bring a smile to your face; the pink pedestal hand basin is matched with a pink bath and complimented with chrome accessories. The hard wood floors throughout have weathered well and are still a striking feature in the home. There is a carport at the front of the garage which has room for a car and work shop, the yard has some lovely deciduous trees, one being a lovely Magnolia tree, there are terraced garden beds in the rear and front garden, and plenty of room for an extension if desired, the weather board home sits very nicely on the block (674m2 approx) with feature timber shutters on the front windows and canvas awnings for those really hot days. Its 2k to the Bendigo Market Place and Train Station and a pleasant walk to the Strath Hill Shopping Complex, the bus is accessible at the bottom of the street in Condon Street, and there are three primary schools nearby as well as Crusoe Secondary College and La Trobe University. This property will delight and well worth an inspection, invest in a proven capital growth area.
