Lockwood VIC 3551

This beautiful residence has all the earmarks of a gracious modern Federation style home. It is built from the classic red and yellow bricks with bay windows and a return verandah with turned posts. The gorgeous front door has a stained glass leadlight panel and matching sidelights, it beckons you into the home where you will find 9' ceilings adorned with ceiling roses and patterned cornice, sash windows and deep architraves.

From the lovely entry hall with a corbelled arch and wall sconces, you have access through colonial style French doors to the formal lounge with window pelmets and an electric log fire set into a fireplace. Across the hall is the huge main bedroom with a bay window, walk-thru his-n-hers robes, with doors so it always looks tidy, to a three piece luxury ensuite with tessellated tiles, an in-situ dual shower and a twin basin vanity with a marble top.

Bedroom two and three are nicely separated from the main, in a wing at the other end of the home, they both have step-in robes while bedroom four has a built-in-robe and is currently in use as a study. These rooms are serviced by a separate toilet with dado boards and a large bathroom, also with a twin basin marble topped vanity dresser, an in-situ shower with a rainfall showerhead and niche, and a wonderfully huge deep freestanding bathtub.

The hub of the home is an open plan kitchen, dining, family room. The family room has a bay window and a freestanding wood heater, it also has a reverse cycle split system for convenience and one of several ceiling fans that you will find throughout the home. Evaporative cooling is ducted as well.

The pristine country kitchen has white vinyl wrapped cabinetry, a corner pantry with power and a most delightful V-shaped garden window which looks out over leafy green gardens where you will find a lush jasmine covered arbour, octagonal rose garden, bridged ornamental pond, and a tree lined seasonal creek as the foreground to a bushy backdrop.

The dining area has French doors to the return verandah on one side and on the other side, to a stunning undercover entertaining area which is reminiscent of an atrium. This area opens to a fully enclosed brick paved courtyard and fernery with a spectacular fountain with floral water plants as the centrepiece. It also has direct access to the brick double garage adjacent to the home. At the rear of the home there is also another enclosed area ideal for a barbecue with a hot-tub on a deck.

If you're looking for some versatility or profitability then you will very likely love the "Gloriette". This property has a fully self-contained one bedroom unit with its own kitchen, bathroom and laundry. The open plan living area has a central freestanding solid fuel heater and a reverse cycle split system. It adjoins a double truck/caravan port through a storage area with a roller door. Whilst this is ideal for independent living for a family member or friend, it is a great BNB prospect and in fact has been used as such.

Further shedding will be all you could have ever hoped for. A massive shed incorporates a triple carport at the front before you enter through a roller door to the huge 10 X 12m workshop area with power, lights and a concrete floor. Alongside this is a tandem triple carport as well.

Other noteworthy features include a 5kw solar system, 3 tanks and a large dam with a 3.3meg water right, in ground sprinklers for the back lawn, a vegetable garden under netting with raised beds and rabbit proof fencing, a henhouse or aviary and prolific citrus trees. Here you are spoilt with rural views of paddocks and grazing sheep, but don't be fooled, Lockwood Primary School is within easy walking distance and it is only 7 minutes to all the shops, sporting facilities and amenities of Kangaroo Flat, which is Bendigo's gateway suburb to Melbourne.
