87 Emu Creek Road STRATHFIELDSAYE VIC

If space is what you desire, coupled with the peace and quiet of popular Strathfieldsaye, then this individually designed and built sustainable home must be high on your agenda. Set on approx 2 acres, the property offers an ideal lifestyle to those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city living. The land is a perfect blend of cleared and useable space around the home, whilst natural fauna forms the bookends to the front and rear. Set back away from the road with a northerly aspect, the home is solar passive in design and is packed full of sustainable features. Externally it has been built to the highest quality using a variety of durable materials. Of further note, there are energy saving appliances and fittings, solar hot water system, recycled black butt timber floors and other recycled building materials, low flow water saving fittings, and natural air flow with excellent window placement. Designed and built by a locally renowned builder, the lucky purchaser will receive a unique home that the builder has called their own since construction. There are four bedrooms, or three plus a home office/study. Two huge bedrooms are upstairs, both feature exposed beams, ceiling fans and built in cupboards. One has its own built in desk and loo. The master bedroom is located downstairs, and is beautifully complete with plenty of built in robbing, ceiling fan, a stylish three piece ensuite and stunning polished concrete floors. The fourth bedroom or study has attractive black butt flooring and built in cupboards. The main three piece bathroom is ingenious in design. A feature walk in shower sits in front of a separate bath, all lined with mini orb and mosaic tiling and set behind a wall of glass. Living space has been well thought out, with two internal areas to enjoy. The first is a lovely extension at the rear. Stunning polished concrete floors with coloured stone and glass mixed through are a feature. As are louvre windows, floor to ceiling glass doors to the deck, and built in bookcase. A gourmet wood stove provides good solid fuel heating to this area, and doubles as some fun with cooking in the winter, whilst a ceiling fan circulates the already terrific air flow! The second living space forms part of the open plan kitchen/living and dining wing of the home. Split system heating/cooling and black butt timber flooring is common through this area, as is the view to the outdoor decking. The kitchen is beautifully appointed using a blend of black butt timber cabinetry and stainless steel. Appliances are up to date – all the mod cons are here. Storage is a key feature and includes huge walk in butler’s pantry and secondary storage cupboard/pantry. The oversized laundry at the rear is more like a utility room, with extra room and space for storage needs. Outside, established natural fauna surrounds the 2 acre block and gives the feeling of privacy and seclusion. Fertile vegie patches and fruit trees are established in the yard, and there are pens to house the chooks for fresh eggs daily. There is full driveway access to the double carport and huge 12×8 powered shed, complete with mezzanine level ideal for home office or a gym. A separate potting shed is also a handy bonus. A shady verandah wraps around half the house, its southerly aspect perfect for the summer months. At the rear is a huge split level decked area, a fabulous spot to entertain guests or maybe overlook a brand new pool? Only 10 minutes to the CBD, or a short walk/drive to the Strathfieldsaye shopping centre, you can have the best of both worlds here – lifestyle and convenience. A real value for money package – make the switch now to an affordable and sustainable lifestyle!
