19 Houlahan Street, Kennington, Vic 3550

COMMUTING to work, study, shopping and play will be so easy from this address. The fabulous four-bedroom family home is handy to La Trobe University, primary and secondary schools, Strath Village and Strath Hill shopping centres, and the CBD. It also has loads of living space with a combined lounge and dining room, and a large rumpus room, while outside there's a securely fenced, salt-chlorinated pool, so you're set for fun in the summer sun. A tranquil garden surrounds the brick-veneer home and its elevated position offers views over Bendigo. There's a double carport at the front with gated access to the backyard. Beside it there's space for a trailer or other vehicle. Inside, ducted cooling is throughout. A lounge/dining room has pelmet lighting along a brick feature wall and a built-in buffet. At the home's centre a wonderful spacious kitchen overlooks an informal meals area. Appliances are all at an easy level to operate and include a Westinghouse fan-forced wall oven and grill, an induction cooktop that boils water in 30 seconds, and a dishwasher. There's an L-shaped benchtop and room for a combined fridge/freezer, and more. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and a three-piece en suite with a strip heater on the wall. A second bedroom has built-in wardrobes; a two-piece family bathroom with a shower over the bath, and separate toilet are close by. Excellent storage includes two lots of built-in cupboards in the rumpus room which can be closed off from the main part of the home. The two remaining bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, are off this room, and one option would be to let these, especially given the convenience to La Trobe University. Doors open to the concrete patio from the meals, dining and rumpus rooms. Backyard amenities include a pool-equipment/storage room, a rainwater tank and a garden shed, and plenty of room for play and relaxation.
