2/9 Sutton Court, East Bendigo VIC 3550

This tidy refurbished 2-bedroom unit, situated in a quiet court is perfectly positioned just a 5-minute drive from the city centre. If you prefer public transport, the bus stop is just 3 minutes away. A 15-minute walk will take you to Lake Weerona for scenic exercise.

The front door of this brick veneer unit opens into a living room big enough to accommodate lounging and dining. A double-roller blind lets you control the light exposure from the large window. The reverse-cycle split system moderates the temperature.

The soft carpet of the living area extends through the hallway to the bedrooms. Both bedrooms are accessed via sliding doors and have built-in robes. The master boasts a ceiling fan and a double sheer and blockout roller blind.

Glossy white tiles, and a gleaming vanity with generous storage, feature in the updated bathroom off the hallway.

The closed kitchen borders the living area for prompt meal delivery. It has been rejuvenated with timber-look cupboards, glossy subway tiles, marble-style benchtop and mixer tap. Ample cupboards, large drawers and an in-built microwave nook, free up bench space. The view from the kitchen sink will keep you in touch with the neighbourhood but a slimline venetian blind is at the ready if you prefer to shut the world out.

The carport at the side of the house has direct access to the kitchen so you can stay dry during winter downpours. If you are vehicle-free, this concreted area would make a perfect sheltered spot for outdoor dining.

The separate laundry adjoins the kitchen making it a quick trip to the classic Hills hoist for clothes drying.

The fully fenced backyard is surprisingly large and includes a garden shed. There's plenty of room for pets to roam or, if gardening is your passion, to grow your own veggies.

Ideal for downsizing or investing, the unit is currently tenanted at $250 per week until April 2023.
