Despite its impressive proportions and architectural presence, there’s a quiet, gentle softness to this gorgeous house. It’s the soaring timber-lined and raked ceilings, exposed brick walls, built-in cedar cabinets and big, northern windows that make this solid double brick home a truly memorable place to call home. Located in a large, quiet court, within a short walk of the Kennington Reservoir, Strathdale Park and nearby bushland, the property is beautifully elevated, with views across the skyline. The ground floor features a study, plus the double garage, with extra storage space. From here, take the circular stairwell, with its domed glass ceiling, to the upper floor, and be captivated. Inspired by the best of mid-century design, the quality finishes are timeless. There are two large open-plan living/dining areas, beautifully zoned either side of a central kitchen. Each area allows room to breath and bask in sun-lit, lofty space. The solid timber kitchen has a dishwasher, a full wall of built-in pantry storage and a high triangular window, in keeping with the home’s unique architectural integrity. A servery window allows for ease of entertaining on the outdoor patio. There are four character-filled bedrooms, all with beautiful built-in-robes. Two contemporary bathrooms are top class, and a separate powder room is ideal for guests. Outside, the patio has undergone a recent remodel, and boasts a new Vergola roof. A garden/tool shed and 15,000 litres of rainwater storage helps ensure maintaining the mature garden is a pleasure. Further additions to the home include E-glass windows throughout, for optimal energy efficiency. There are also new curtains on all windows. This very special property is being offered for sale for just the second time since its inception in one of Bendigo’s best locations. That’s because it’s easy to fall for, and so hard to leave. It’s also easy to see why.
