55 Belle Vue Road, Golden Square VIC 3555

This rustic brick and Western red cedar cottage, set on the curve of a semi-circular driveway, is the ideal first, retirement or investment home.

Entering the lounge room from the shady front verandah, you will find a pine-lined ceiling and old brick feature walls. An open fireplace includes a cosy solid fuel heater complemented by a split system air conditioner.

The home has three bedrooms with built-in robes, plus a versatile central study/play area. The larger main bedroom features another split system air conditioner and overlooks the front garden. At the rear of the home is the meals area and updated kitchen with 900mm stainless steel dual fuel stove, dishwasher, pantry cupboard and ample bench space. The large, combined bathroom/laundry includes a claw foot bath, shower, vanity unit and separate toilet.

An extensive, slate-tiled, covered outdoor living area provides plenty of room for family gatherings or quiet evenings around the open fireplace.

The carport has gated access to the terraced, fully-fenced backyard, while a substantial shed/workshop is ready for handy types. The larger-than-average allotment of approximately 1,144m² means ample room for off-street parking for trailers, caravans, etc.

It's a mere six-minute drive to the centre of Bendigo, and there's a bus stop right across the street, making it an ideal choice for first-home buyers with room to add or improve over time. It would be a good home base for retirees between trips, while investors will appreciate the sound rental return it has enjoyed for the past few years.
