36 Phillis Street, Kangaroo Flat VIC 3555

Quality construction and enduring charm are the characteristics of this retro cream brick beauty, sympathetically updated to enhance the appeal of the home’s mid-century design. Set on an expansive corner allotment and bordered by parkland to the western side, it enjoys privacy often sought but not found in the suburbs. In addition to the home there is an abundance of shedding and outbuildings; versatile spaces that could be used for purpose or repurposed into additional living space, bedroom or studio.
The home is flooded with natural light, one of the many features of its design. In traditional style the rooms are generous with the living at one end, a big space with feature brick wall and built-in cabinetry, a central kitchen and adjoining dining, and bedrooms at the other end. Well equipped with quality appliances, the kitchen boasts two ovens, gas hob, dishwasher, integrated microwave, ample cupboard space and island bench for casual eating or meal prep.

All three of the bedrooms have built-ins and the master a dressing room large enough to be altered to incorporate an ensuite bathroom. A gas log fire in the second bedroom makes it a versatile space, easily converting to a second living. Central to the bedrooms, the bathroom has been modernised and there is a second toilet off the laundry. Solid fuel and gas heating plus ducted evaporative cooling keep the home comfortable.

Outside, the yard is secure with lawn space for kids and pets, established fruit trees and fire pit area. Side gates lead directly to the oversize carport, perfect for caravan storage, and there is an 8m x 12m garage with double roller doors and adjoining studio. For outdoor entertaining, the western end of the 3-metre-wide rear verandah can be enclosed with zip track blinds, plus separating the home and shedding is a spacious alfresco, paved for all weather use.

The property’s appeal is further elevated by its close proximity to shopping, schools, sporting facilities and train offering v/line services between Bendigo and Melbourne.
