YOUNG buyers seeking a home with a bit of space are already showing keen interest in a four-bedroom house within the Riverstone Estate at Batesford.
The Edwardian-era house at 70 Domain Drive was one of the existing homes within the estate, which has spawned dozens of modern houses on spacious semi-rural blocks.
Located in a valley nestled between the Moorabool River, Ballarat to Geelong railway and the Midland Highway, the estate provides a quiet place to escape that is literally moments from the edge of Geelong.
The elevated house is built amid established trees and a tidy garden with outdoor entertainment spaces to enjoy the tranquillity.
The house is laced with Edwardian features, including 3.3m ceilings with moulded cornices, chimneys and french doors.
The loungeroom has a wood heater and sliding doors that open to a deck.
The timber kitchen has modern stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and space for a dining setting.
Four bedrooms surround the main loungeroom that forms the centrepiece of the house.
Three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, while the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
The property measures .61ha and includes two garden and tool sheds and a double carport.
The main bathroom and separate laundry are zoned off the kitchen.
A veranda surrounds the house on three sides, providing ample covered space to survey the surroundings.
70 Domain Drive, Batesford, goes to auction at 2pm on July 1. Price expectations are $549,000 to $599,000. For details, contact Landmark Harcourts, Bannockburn, agent Owen Sharkey, on 0417 365 607.
