23 Elwood Drive STRATHDALE VIC

Like every good artist will tell you, a masterpiece takes time and effort. Regrettably, our vendor has decided they cannot devote any more of either here, as it is time to head back to the big smoke. So now, it’s over to you to have the vision required to complete this stunning modern masterpiece, putting your own personal touch on what is already a magnificent home surrounded by a blank canvas. Constructed by renowned local builder Paul Gray and completed only a little over 12 months ago, the home’s modern design offers approximately 48 squares of sheer quality underroof – perfect for the growing family. As is the 940m2 allotment that surrounds the home, where all is in readiness for you to add your landscaping ideas, a pool, some lawn and a outdoor living space to be proud of! The ground floor design begins with a grand entrance foyer fitting of what is to come. To the right is a room currently utilised as a library, but could easily be used as a lounge, study or a client meeting area for a home business. Beyond the foyer is the first of five bedrooms that provide ample accommodation to the home. Ideal as a guest bedroom, it is fitted with loads of built in robes, and has direct access to the ground floor two piece bathroom and separate powder room. A sizeable laundry with good storage capabilities and internal access from the oversize garage precede the rear of the ground floor plan. Moving through to what is the central hub of the home, a clever use of space has turned the void under the stairwell into a handy study nook, which serves as the entrance to the enormous kitchen, dining and living room. The open plan design is all inclusive and will be the gathering point for daily family life. The designer kitchen is a caterer’s dream, with two separate ultra modern and high spec kitchens making entertaining a delight. The scullery kitchen is a room to itself separated from the main kitchen via a sliding door, ensuring your guests are spared the look of messy preparation or dirty dishes. It houses a butlers pantry with more cupboard and bench space than you could dream of, and is fully equipped with top quality European appliances including induction cooking facilities, self cleaning rangehood, dishwasher and double sink. The main kitchen is fitted with cabinetry of the highest order – a mix of Caesar stone bench tops and an abundance of quality cupboards and drawers. Built in glass display cabinets are a feature, as is the split level servery and breakfast bar. The adjoining tiled meals area is awash with natural light, and roomy enough to house a memorable dinner party with friends or special occasion with the family. Neighbouring the kitchen and meals area and completing the downstairs layout is the spacious living room with sliding doors to covered patio. A gorgeous timber staircase with glass ballustrade leads to the second level floor plan, which opens into the upstairs living area. Beautiful hardwood floors adorn this bright and sunny space, whilst sliding glass doors lead to the timber decked balcony. This is a fabulous vantage point to indulge in a relaxing wine on a summers evening while enjoying lovely views across Bendigo. Four carpeted bedrooms make up the top level, along with the upstairs bathroom which features free standing bath, frameless shower and separate loo. The luxurious master suite has enormous walk in robe, spacious ensuite with walk in shower, plus separate loo. The remaining bedrooms have built in or walk in robes, with the fifth bedroom boasting built in office desk and split system heating and cooling, ideal for a home office set up. Completing the internal inclusions are ducted heating and cooling throughout, data cabling system through the home to suit home business, ducted vacuuming system, double glazed windows upstairs, quality block out window furnishings and an abundance of storage options. Outside, the property boasts a 940m2 family sized allotment just waiting for your finishing touches. Work on the landscaped and retained front yard has been done for you. The attractive exposed aggregate driveway leads to an extra length double remote garage, complete with direct internal access, access to the rear yard via roller door, great storage and pull down ladder to access more storage in the attic loft. There is so much room for the kids and pets to play in the secure and fully fenced rear yard. Alfresco entertaining is courtesy of the small patio area with exposed aggregate floor. However, there is so much scope to further your ideas on what is a totally blank canvas. The aforementioned pool, landscaped garden and extended alfresco area to name but a few. Why bother with the time and stress of building when your dream home has already been built? Absolute top quality is assured, and the location speaks for itself. All this masterpiece needs is your finishing touches and your personal vision. Call now to arrange a viewing by private inspection
