23 Leslie Street MARONG VIC

This ultra-modern interpretation of a classic period home is something to behold! Situated in the quiet rural township of Marong only 12 minutes to Bendigo, this stunning custom home built by renowned local builder Murray Wearne will be love at first sight for many quality home seekers. Once again setting a benchmark amongst its peers, the builder has accomplished what many fail to do – and that is to blend the old with the new in a perfectly respectful manner that is sympathetic to both era’s. Totally unique to the area, the home commands street presence and oozes charm from the moment you arrive. Deceptively spacious and filled with an abundance character, the home will suit either end of the market equally meaning a young family or downsizer/retiree would find it suitable. Like a brand new build, the home is a tick under three years old and boasts quality fixtures and fittings, amazing vaulted ceilings, attractive timber look flooring, lots of windows to allow natural lighting, and reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling to name but a few. The floor plan is bigger than you think, and offers the type of configuration you would seek in any family home. Four bedrooms provide accommodation, the master suite boasting ensuite and walk in robe. The three remaining bedrooms are housed in a separate wing on the opposite side of the home, each have built in robes whilst a gorgeous bathroom and powder room split them and service the rest of the home. Dual living zones are offered; with a lounge area at the front a lovely space to enjoy and the more spacious family room forming part of the dazzling open plan kitchen, dining and living at the rear. This space will have you salivating and wondering where to put your own furniture, thinking about a night in front of the feature ambient fire over a glass of red! A bult in study nook is handy for the current climate and working from home. The kitchen is neutral with a tasteful pop of colour, and is equipped with a mix of stone and timber benchtops, an abundance of cabinetry and storage, big butlers pantry, 900mm cooking facilities, dishwasher and so much preparation room to cater for the largest dinner parties! Completing the internal layout is the laundry with walk in linen press. Outside, the 500m2 manicured allotment is manageable for those who don’t have the time or want the upkeep of a massive yard. There is still loads of room for kids and pets, and it has been beautifully landscaped and established so there is nothing more to do. The alfresco area is ideal for warm summer nights or entertaining outdoors, and there is a garden shed that blends in well with the house. There is room for a bigger shed if desired, or other popular trends such as a fire pit area. Covered off street parking is available for two cars secured behind a fully fenced allotment. This unique home is your ticket to an escape to the country and a quieter lifestyle, with the convenience and amenities of a major city only minutes drive away. Individually brilliant and superbly presented, an inspection is a must for you to realise just how good this property is
