11 Strickland Road, East Bendigo VIC 3550

There's so much to love about this new listing on the east side, starting with its proud period façade. The handsome red brick home has a touch of art deco class in its detailing and its ornate portico. A low brick fence, neat concrete paths and lawn place it firmly in the fifties.

Inside, its heritage integrity is also blessedly intact, with a host of coveted, original features to fall for; high ceilings, polished timber floorboards, picture rails, decorative cornice and lovely timber framed sash windows make the list.

The floorplan is surprisingly spacious and allows for a contemporary life. There are three bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and their own lovely character. The main at the front has a corner window, the central bedroom is painted a calm pale green, and has a glass French door to borrow light from the sunny hallway.

Two bathrooms are a great surprise; an ensuite for the main, and a central family bathroom, both in top shape.

The loungeroom has a decorative brick hearth and double glass sliding doors, a timber Venetian blind and a ceiling fan. Ducted heating keeps the whole home cosy.

The updated kitchen is fit and functional and includes a dishwasher, upright stove, pantry storage and plenty of bench space. It's open to a light-filled dining /living room, which has sliding door access to the alfresco.

The backyard entertainment space is fully covered, with decking underfoot. It connects to the single carport with roller door, accessed from the side street.
There are a couple of storage sheds and more green space to make your own.

The address is close to Lake Weeroona, and a short stroll from both the new Bridgewater Bakehouse and the Eastside Café for your daily walk and coffee fix.
