106 Bennetts Road, Junortoun VIC 3551

BENDIGO is known as the city in the forest, and there's no better example than Junortoun, where you can enjoy rural living on acres and still be just 15 minutes from the heart of town.

This complete family home sits on 2.5 beautiful acres, is just 50 metres from the O'Keefe Rail Trail, and even includes an inground pool among its many features.

With a circular driveway for easy access, and verandahs front and back, this handsome brick-veneer home looks great in its rural setting and is just as impressive inside.

Built with family as the priority, there is both a formal lounge room and a large open-plan living space that includes a family room with solid-fuel heater, a dining area and a well-appointed kitchen with quality appliances and a walk-in pantry.

Evaporative cooling is ducted throughout the home with a split-system as back-up.

At the south end of the house, the main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, while three more bedrooms at the north end all have built-in wardrobes and share a three-piece bathroom and separate toilet.

A door at the end of the hallway opens to a double carport and in turn to a garage/workshop with roller door, concrete floor and power.

With more than 40 square meters paved and undercover, and the above-mentioned pool, this is a great home for summer entertaining and making the most of the natural surrounds.

It's just a short drive to inspect this weekend.
