Longlea VIC 3551

The front of the home features beautiful stained vertical timbers between tinted windows that provide privacy, comfort and assist in the six star energy rating.

French doors open to a wide entry hall which in turn opens to a lounge on one side and an office space on the other which would work perfectly for a home business, where you could meet and greet people, offer them a place to wait or take them directly into the office, without bringing them beyond the entry to the rest of your home. These are however, wonderfully versatile spaces and have been used as a gaming room and a home gym and study, but you may have other ideas for them.

Beyond the foyer and to the left is the huge master suite. Quality blinds and Custom floor-to-ceiling sheers adorn the windows, while the ceiling is furnished with a propeller style fan, as has been fitted in all four bedrooms, which not only adds to the aesthetic's, but uses minimal power, and by virtue of the shape, moves air really effectively. Past a large walk-in-robe is a luxury ensuite with its own bathtub, dual basin vanity, oversized shower with a handheld sprayer and the ever so important separate toilet.

As with all well designed homes the rest of the bedrooms are at the other end. Tall black doors add an extra touch of class. These bedrooms are serviced by a three piece bathroom with a beautiful deep freestanding tub, shower with a shampoo hutch and vanity which also has a composite stone benchtop, as does the vanity in the powder room. The laundry with abundant storage, is also at this end of the home, as is direct access to the oversized double garage with remote roller doors.

The hub of the home is an expansive, central open plan living area which is where you will want to spend most of your time, either drinking in your surroundings on your own or keeping good company with family and friends. It includes a delightful crisp white kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a five burner 900mm stove, an island bench with a composite stone top and breakfast bar, under a bank of suspended lights, a large fridge space and very handy walk in pantry with power points. Your inner chef will be inspired.

The 9' ceilings continue to open the space and alcoves at either end add interesting shadow and dimension. A gas log fire in the middle of a wall of glass provides both warmth and ambience. In addition to this ducted evaporative cooling and ducted gas heating is installed throughout to ensure your comfort. Mornings here are dreamy with the rising sun sparkling across the ripples of the pool creating a magical shimmering inside.

Through a sliding door a bluestone paved undercover entertaining area forms of transitional space from the home to the salt chlorinated pool. Glass panels the width of the entertaining area, and bluestone coping tiles around the pool, form a connection for these areas, while steel fencing defines the pool, timber posts continue the natural textures, and an exposed aggregate poolside is both safe and attractive. The setting is perfect for many memorable hours of fun.

The 18m x 9m highset 5 bay shed is ideal for floats, caravans or a large speedboat. It has a concrete floor, three roller doors, 18000 lumen high bay lights, power points in every bay and a LaserLite panel for natural daylight. This is an awesome workspace, while the 5 acre back paddock with a track that would be ideal for motorbikes and the like, is a great place to play. Good fencing and a large catchment dam here also make it ideal for livestock or you could use it for whatever your heart desires.

Being right on the border of Junortoun and Longlea this property is truly lifestyle size. You are removed by one property from the O'Keefe Rail Trail if you like to walk or ride a pushbike. And while this property provides a sense of being in a private, protected bubble you are under 15 minutes from the Alexander Fountain in Bendigo, just 6 minutes from ever popular Strathfieldsaye with all of its shops and amenities, and only 90 minutes from the Tullamarine Airport or Melbourne fringe.
