Californian character

This 2 B/R fibro cement home situated on 43 acres including 12 acres of sandy loam country including 37 M/L of high security water, just minutes walk from the Murray River and just 1.5 km to the Head works Rd boat ramp. Surrounded by Gum trees and the sounds of the native wildlife it is without doubt your slice of paradise. Combine period charm, location and a large block and you have the property at 359 High St, Echuca. The Californian bungalow offers buyers a chance to own a home which has a sense of charm from the moment you step into the formal entry hall. Polished floorboards through most of the house are complemented by original unpainted timber doors, door surrounds, window frames and sills. The large formal lounge features a bay window, an open fireplace, chandelier and moulded ceiling decoration. Next to it, through double glass and timber doors, is a room suitable for a elegant dining room, study or if a fourth bedroom is needed. It has a chandelier matching that of the entry hall and a smaller wall sconce in the passage. The home also has three large bedrooms, one featuring a bay window and box seat. The kitchen and family living area has a country feel to it, with an enclosed wood fire, ceiling fan, panelled cupboards and a built-in timber dresser. The stove is electric and, off the kitchen, is a large walk-in pantry, which also allows plenty of other storage space. The double-brick rendered house has a detached laundry, ideal for washing off after a stint in the vegie patch. As well as a large garage/shed at the back of the property, plenty of parking space is available behind the house. The garden is a changing delight throughout the seasons and includes various fruit trees. The property offers enormous flexibility and would be suitable to a range of buyers — live in it as is, extend or renovate, use as professional rooms (STCA) or develop (STCA). The choice is yours. The only thing which will not change is the position, close to schools, cinemas, hospital, pool, restaurants and shops. The home is open for inspection tomorrow from 11.30am to noon and, if not sold before, the property will be auctioned on February 18 at noon.
