8 Bourke Drive STRATHDALE VIC

Positioned in ever-popular Bourke Drive, this property is a superb example of an updated and modernised property without losing the values and features it boasted when it was built. It really is a credit to its owners who have loved this home for over twenty years and have cleverly and continually improved it during this time. The home boasts four spacious bedrooms, all have built-in-robes; the master suite features a huge amount of built-in-robe storage (5 sliding doors, of which 3 are mirrored) and a superb en suite which is fully tiled, features a hung vanity, toilet and 1800mm frameless shower. The family bathroom (situated near the other bedrooms) is equally as good, it has a deep bath, hung vanity and 900mm shower. Adjacent to the family bathroom is the toilet and laundry which has plenty of storage, bench space and side access. Living space consists of a large formal lounge with a beautiful open fireplace and mantel – yes it does work; there’s a separate formal dining room which might be used more like a large study or media room these days and a superb open-plan kitchen-meals-living room. The kitchen has been recently upgraded and re-modelled and features beautiful timber finishes, Caesar stone tops, NEF appliances including induction hot plates and oven; Miele dishwasher, large deep sink, plenty of overheads, two appliance cupboards and a unique splashback. The kitchen overlooks the large, tiled meals space and living area which will house a large lounge suite. This area boasts a large reverse-cycle air-conditioner and has access to the two outdoor living options. The first outdoor living space is spacious and elevated with views of the rear yard; the second is more practical with space for the barbecue and easy access to the yard. Other features inside include central ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling throughout, there are pelmets for some of the more formal rooms, quality window furnishings, lovely feature bulkheads and a feature tiles on entry. For the practical, there’s a large double garage with auto door and extra storage plus a rear roller door for access out back. From the garage, a concrete drive leads to the workshop which is approximately 5.5m x 7.5m, it comes with storage shelving across the rear, LED lights (12 of them!) and concrete floor of course. There is 5kw of solar on the roof, solar hot water and a security system – everything has been considered here. The yard is very private and spacious (892m2), there are 2 x 5,600lt rainwater tanks with a pressure pump and a well-constructed sprinkler system for the entire front and rear garden; plenty of shrubbery, a lovely grass patch and an established Silver Birch to keep that late summer westerly sun out. The front of the property is equally as good, easy-care shrubs with a light mix of sandstone paving and synthetic turf – almost set and forget. This home has plenty on offer – totally modernised with high-end fixtures and fittings throughout, spacious allotment, great position, shedding and privacy!!
