198 Burgoyne Street, Huntly, Vic 3551

Serene, extensive parklike grounds encompass a residence that has been thoroughly refurbished and extended, yet retains captivating character amongst a splendour of period features. Wide verandahs front and rear shelter entrances to an interior adorned with four open fireplaces, hand-marbled mantles, timber dados and timber fretwork beneath 10' to 12' ceilings. Three living areas surround a modern kitchen with a sympathetic decor, though appointed with a dishwasher and gas stove. However, the ambience and practicality of a baker's oven/wood heater means that stove is rarely required in cooler months. A parents retreat, ensuite and walk-in robe indulge adults in the master bedroom, and three more bedrooms ensure enough space for the kids. Evaporative cooling is ducted throughout. Outdoors, a 15x8x3 metre shed with concrete floor and power, mezzanine level, plus 6-bay carport keep vehicles well-covered. At the rear boundary, a creek flows about 95% of the year, ready to evoke and create childhood memories. Rewired, re-plumbed and reroofed, the property also has the bonus of town and tank water. Set on approximately 1.5 acres (6000m2), an adjoining approximately 3 acres (12000m2) is under a 99 year lease from DSE for just $110 per year. Walk to school, sporting facilities, shops and bus to Bendigo, this truly is an ideal environment in which to raise a family.
