What’s behind the secret garden at 14 Boronia Crescent? A gorgeous home, a tranquil lifestyle, and a private city-fringe sanctuary that’s been much loved throughout the decades. The original 1980s home was something special when it was first built, and that lasting quality of considered design and solid fittings still holds today. A curved paved, shrub-lined driveway is an enticing entrance to the property, and leads to a double garage and gorgeous entrance of leadlight glass. Inside, there are three living zones down one side of the home, and 3 bedrooms plus a study down the other. The front loungeroom has a high raked ceiling, corner window and solid brick fireplace to set the scene during the winter months ahead. Beyond this is a flexible space for dining, home office, or family. An open-plan kitchen/dining/living area is just as lovely. The timber kitchen is in sparkling original condition and features a pantry cupboard, freestanding gas stove, breakfast bar and big, bright window. This whole area is flooded in light thanks to banks of timber-framed windows and one heavy glass sliding door, all overlooking a vine-covered patio and the leafy, elevated garden beyond. The family area has built-in timber bookshelves, a gas heater and air conditioner. All four bedrooms are quiet and inviting. The main has a walk-in-robe and ensuite, which, along with the family bathroom, is also in beautiful condition. The home is set on just over 1000m2, in a classic, house-proud Strathdale neighbourhood. It’s within walking distance of the Strathdale Park, Kennington Reservoir and Kennington Primary School, and approximately 3km from Bendigo. Put this one-off property on the top of your list for quality, beauty, lifestyle and investment.
