‘Pendicup’ A well-maintained comfortable family home on approximately 1 ha of land with established native gardens. Pendicup (meaning bottle brush), is a great lifestyle property only 4 km from Benalla. The brick veneer house provides 21 squares of living space and features 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms including an en-suite attached to the master bedroom. The second bathroom has a replica lion’s claw bath; a soak in the tub is a great way to end the day! There is ample storage space with built-in ‘floor to ceiling’ wardrobes, and a walk in robe for the master bedroom. The formal dining and lounge room has an open fire place. A Coonara wood heater and split system air conditioner provide good heating and cooling to the open plan living area. Floor coverings include easy to maintain African slate in the living areas, and carpet in the bedrooms. There are beautiful double hung western red cedar windows throughout which provide effective ventilation during those hot summer evenings. Large sliding doors give access to a relaxing outdoor living area surrounded by easy to maintain private gardens and includes a large in-ground salt chlorinated swimming pool. The property is a haven for many native woodland birds including the rare Grey Crowned Babbler, and other visitors such as the nocturnal Squirrel Glider, koala and echidna.
This is a ‘summer friendly’ home with ornamental grape vines along the front and western side verandahs. The 2m wide verandahs around the full extent of the house, provide ample shade and shelter. The house is connected to town water and large house tanks. There is an automatic watering system in the back garden, a small orchard and vegetable garden, and two garden sheds. Other features include a new solar hot water unit, and a 1 kW solar panel system with the sell back rate of .60c per kW. The septic system has been recently upgraded. The 6m x 6m carport allows adequate parking for two vehicles, or space for a car and caravan.
The school bus stops along Kilfeera Road just opposite this property, for student transportation into Benalla’s public and private schools.
Benalla is situated in NE Victoria just off the Hume Freeway, and is less than an hours drive to the neighbouring country towns of Shepparton, Wangaratta and Mansfield. It is approximately 2 hours from Melbourne, 1.5 hours to the snow fields and 1 hour to the historical town of Beechworth. Benalla is well serviced for medical, private business, education, shopping, sporting and a social life. Benalla also boasts botanical gardens with Art gallery, and a walking path around the Benalla Lake.
This beautiful property will make an ideal family home, a unique retreat for retirement, or may suit as a Bed and Breakfast business. The new owners of ‘Pendicup’ will soon grow to love this property as much as I do.
