49 Somerville Street, Flora Hill VIC 3550

Only 2km from the centre of town, this 1960s cream brick veneer home is the Holy Grail for first home buyers wanting to gain a footing in the market, as well as a proven performer for investors. Substantial, solid, spacious, affordable, great location, three bedrooms, heating, cooling, partly refurbished - the list goes on. Cosmetically you may find a few things here and there to update, but there is no denying this is a home you can walk into and start living.

As soon as you hear Flora Hill you know the location is first-rate. If you enjoy walking or cycling to work, you'll find it's not a very long trek to the CBD. Strath Village and Kennington Village are just up the hill, and the Bendigo Marketplace and train station are even closer should you fancy heading a different direction.

Part of the charm of homes of this vintage is the generous room sizes. All three bedrooms are spacious, the main bedroom would easily cater for a king sized suite. The living room adjoins the open plan kitchen/meals area, which are all lovely and bright due to the large picture windows.

Clever ‘double fencing' separates the extensive, fully concreted driveway from the enclosed back yard. You can be assured that children and small pets will be kept safely away from the passing traffic along the front. The 705sqm allotment is level and fully fenced.

A little bit of elbow grease will see the double garage really come to life, though it's perfectly functional as is with two single roller doors and storage shelves. Add a lick of paint to spruce things up, bring in a pool table, some comfy couches and a few friends and you will have an additional entertaining space.

The home is ready for owner occupiers to move straight in, though if you're an investor you may be interested in the $320 per week rental return, and our current selection of good tenants should you like our help to lease the property.
