East Bendigo VIC 3550

Positioned on Doak Street within walking distance to all life's necessities, it promises a wealth of comfort, space and scope set behind dense greenery on a lot approx 1,626m2.

Lovers of character and charm will appreciate the classic solid brick residence with a typical terracotta-tiled roof and three-gabled facade with shingle infills and exposed rafter tails embellishing wide timber-lined eaves.

Wide brick steps lead to the front porch, where double doors with bevelled glass panels open to a light-filled foyer lined with plate shelves and a common theme of decorative cornice, ceiling panels and polished timber floors.

The formal lounge with multi-pane, double-hung windows and garden views includes an art deco-inspired, open fireplace.

Opposite, the versatile fourth bedroom room boasts wainscot panelling and another brick fireplace flanked by bookshelves.

A perfectly-integrated extension houses the main bedroom incorporating a parent's retreat area with French doors to a private garden room and twin walk-through robes to the ensuite bathroom.

Two more generous bedrooms with built-ins and ceiling fans share the oversized main bathroom fitted with in situ shower, bath, vanity, and separate WC.

Completing the formal areas, the spacious dining room opens to a large side porch - the perfect place for pre-dinner drinks or sunset viewing.

A study/office tucked beside the kitchen includes built-in desks and cabinetry for students or working from home.

Extensive kitchen, dining and family living areas form the heart of the home where all family members can cook, dine and relax together.

Catering will never be a chore in the well-appointed kitchen with a 900mm Ilve stainless steel dual-fuel range, a Bosch dishwasher, a sizeable stone-topped island bench, a walk-in pantry, an original cool cupboard and the laundry conveniently alongside.

Twin French doors open from the dining/living area to the vine-draped alfresco area overlooking the sparkling 11m pool.

Mediterranean-inspired gardens include something for the whole family - a private courtyard surrounded by citrus trees and original camellia shrubs for breakfast or morning coffee, an auto double garage accessed off Doak Street with workbenches with an attached office/music room and a storage room.

The younger set will enjoy the basketball practice court, a chicken coop and a fire/conversation pit under a stand of stately gums.

Notable extras are;
a cellar; central gas heating; 2 x Split system air cons; 5Kw solar power system; ample storage throughout; self-cleaning, salt chlorinated pool.

Embraced by a panorama of greenery regularly visited by native birdlife, "Ranelagh" is almost like a little farmlet in the middle of suburbia!

It offers timeless style in a premium location with family success guaranteed for future generations.

You should definitely consider this property.
