8 Ridgeway Crescent, Kennington, Vic 3550

THIS 80s-style residence has been a family home for more than 30 years, and being such a well-built and maintained property, it?s sure to serve its new owner just as well.

The location is simply superb. Ridgeway Crescent is a quiet family thoroughfare just a few minutes? walk from both the university and BSE College to the south, and a similar distance to Kennington Reservoir and the shopping precinct in the east.

As an investment, this area of Bendigo is a sure bet, and when you consider that this home also has an upstairs extension with its own bathroom and private access, then the proximity to the university is even more attractive.

This very solid home is all original, and while you might want to update the décor, the bones of this property are solid.

In the lounge room, cathedral ceilings feature, with exposed beams, a solid-brick feature wall, gas heating and an archway leading to the meals area and kitchen.

The cabinetry is all hard-wearing solid timber with updated appliances that include a Westinghouse electric wall oven, Chef gas cooktop, and an as-new Bellissimo dishwasher.

All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, and evaporative air-conditioning is ducted throughout. A second heater at the end of the hallway keeps all the bedrooms cosy in winter.

The upstairs area also has reverse-cycle heating and cooling.

Outside is a very generous backyard with shade trees, a rainwater tank, and a steel garden shed.

A single-car garage with roller door provides secure off-street parking. The owners say the neighbours are wonderful too, which is icing on the cake at this brilliant location.
