513 Strathfieldsaye Road, Strathfieldsaye VIC 3551

- Here is a property you'd happily travel great distances each day for, in order to call your home. Yet there is no need to at all because it is almost unbelievably located on the border of Strathdale, within very close reach of Kennington Village; and indeed central Bendigo.

- Harder to believe is that the property measures 5.7 acres. This means that this is that chance you have been dreaming of. The chance to find and secure a property that meets your needs to achieve space, privacy and country living; yet be very accessible to central Bendigo. The need for such great accessibility is so very necessary because of the reality of multiple daily trips around town ferrying the family to school, work, sports and other activities. With increasingly more people sharing this set of criteria, you may wish to call me to arrange a private group inspection before this chance passes you by.

- Sitting supreme at the base of Peipers Hill, the solid brick Victorian home well and truly passes the test of time having been built circa 1880. Exuding charisma the home is simultaneously humble yet lavish, and period yet modern. It is simply one of a kind.

- Five robed bedrooms comfortably accommodate a large family while any surplus rooms can be used to spoil your visiting guests. An ensuite bathroom and pressed metal ceilings distinguish the main bedroom. A host of period features include verandahs with beautiful lacework, 12' ceilings, timber floors, stained glass and sash windows. The modern extension has created a brilliant open plan kitchen, dining and family living space in addition to a generous formal lounge and a very clever study nook. New carpets and roof insulation further enhance the comfort of the home which is regulated by the effective verandahs, new ambient gas log heater and ducted heating and cooling throughout. Enjoy stunning views of the property and leafy green environs from almost every window and area of the property.

- Yet more value will become evident as you mosey around outdoors through the scented cottage gardens and three paddocks. The double carport fronts a large undercover alfresco living area and is in addition to versatile secure shedding and workshops. The cabana overlooking the solar heated pool provides for a great arts studio or could become a teenagers retreat or further guest accommodation. Clean bore water, a dam and extensive irrigation systems are in addition to the convenience of town water and natural gas.
