Nestled one block away from the picturesque Loddon River in the peaceful rural township of Bridgewater is this superb lifestyle opportunity for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Renowned for its great sense of community and a more relaxed pace, the town is the perfect destination for families, downsizers or retired couples to retreat, with the convenience of the major regional city of Bendigo within reach and a pleasant 30 minutes drive away!
The property itself is set on a sizeable 2781m2 (approx.) allotment, meaning there is ample space to spread your wings both inside and out! For those that don?t require so much space, there is the added bonus of a current permit in place for a two lot subdivision, leaving you with a generous but more manageable 1509m2, and a vacant block of approx. 1272m2 to sell for profit. The charming brick home is in excellent condition and is superbly presented throughout ? a real credit to our vendors! It has been meticulously maintained, tastefully updated and is absolutely immaculate meaning you can simply move your furniture in and enjoy immediately with nothing more to do.
The light, bright and spacious floor plan is bursting with character and charm, and offers four carpeted bedrooms ? all with built in robes and the master with walk in robe and ensuite. There is a separate study off the entrance, which also makes a lovely sitting room as it is currently being utilised. The lovely family bathroom boasts both shower and bath, and is aesthetically pleasing thanks to gorgeous timber highlights ? a theme that is continued throughout the home in most of the cabinetry.
The main section of the home is simply stunning! Open plan in its design, it is awash with natural lighting thanks to an abundance of windows and its cooling neutral tones. The expansive main living and dining area will allow the biggest of families to gather together at Christmas or special occasions, but it remains intimate and cosy to enjoy as a couple as well. A gas log fire with surround and mantle is a lovely feature of this room and keeps it warm and cosy. The kitchen is in terrific order, with more of the same timber highlights used in the ample amount of cupboard storage on offer. Up to date electric cooking appliances are available, as is a dishwasher, good bench space and the all important breakfast bar. Other features of the home include reverse cycle ducted heating/cooling throughout and a 5kw solar panel system to assist with rising energy costs.
Outside is equally as impressive, with manicured gardens and an abundance of lawn areas already in place and yours to only maintain. Those with kids and pets will love the space provided to kick the footy or play backyard cricket, whilst in the summer months, its only a short stroll down the local swimming hole or a quick drive to launch the boat and go for a fish or a waterski! Relaxing or entertaining outdoors is possible for all seasons thanks to the covered alfresco area at the rear (great for BBQ?s) or the front and rear veranda which spans the length of the house. Whether you are a car, caravan ort boat enthusiast, the huge 18m x 7.5m shed with concrete floor and power will allow you to store or work on any of the above. As well as including a mechanics pit, the shed allows easy drive in access for vehicles, and there is a four car carport for even further car accommodation.
This superb lifestyle package is just about as good as it gets for those searching for a little slice of the quiet life. With close proximity to the river, the famous Bridgewater Bakery, the Bridgewater Hotel and of course the local Football and Netball club, the real sense of community will have you feeling ?home sweet home? in no time.
