16 Naranghi Drive, Strathdale, Vic 3550

Over the past 30 years this long term family home has seen a number of transformations, all ahead of the trend of the day and its current incarnation will fill you with a sense of deja vu. Where have I seen this home before? A glossy home beautiful magazine perhaps, a display in a home living store, or a vision of your own forward thinking! Wherever the origin, as the sense subsides, this home will redefine your take on elegance.
Set back from the street in popular Strathdale, only a short stroll from the Kennington Reservoir, this brick veneer home compliments the idyllic, family friendly streetscape. Stone and box hedging bite into the allotment and line the return style semi valet drive for visitors at the front. The front is kissed by the morning sun and saloon style timber window shutters offer secondary protection from the elements.
Inside composite stone tiling greets in the entrance hall. A central hallway moves forward and veers to left providing passage to the homes three double bedrooms; all with built in robes, the master with vanity recess. Each bedroom features a picture window; venetian blinds control light levels, warm colours adorn the walls, a number of moods easily set with a turn of the timber slats.
Opposite the master bedroom there is two bathrooms separated by a central toilet. One a shower room with vanity, the other with vanity toilet and bath, and all encased in half mast tiling, a very low maintenance modern wet area.
The laundry is large with a plethora of bench and cupboard space and direct access to the rear. Ducted heating and cooling provide year round comfort and inconspicuous solar panels harness the natural energy of the sun and feed back in to the power grid.
Three living zones comprise the homes family space. The first is a formal lounge found to the right through glass sliding doors upon entry. Once again the combination of venetian blinds and warm wall colours allow for an array of mood settings. French glass doors at the lounges end make for a truly private space and allow passage to the central hub of the home, a kitchen with adjoining family space.
The Vic ash kitchen looks on to the alfresco at the rear and features the finest of timber cabinetry, a butler's pantry, stainless steel splashback and quality appliances including built in microwave/convection oven, electric wall oven and dishwasher, finished with timber shelving suspended from the roof above the Vic ash servery/breakfast bar. Adjacent is the informal family space, a second space for the modern family to stretch its wings. Glass sliding doors at its end pass through to the dining room, formal/informal as you wish.
The dining room is a clever extension at the rear. There are two timber doors; one to the study, the other to the double garage. Large picture windows flood the dining room with natural light and double glass doors at its side lead to the alfresco. Sandy stone tiling and a vine covered veranda give the dining and paved alfresco area an Italian style Tuscan feel, your very own European retreat.
Outside and beyond the alfresco a garden estate awaits. A paved path winds around its circumference in a half circle fashion. A pocket of immaculate fairway grass is encased in a garden of green, meticulously cared for over the years, not a plant out of place, a labour of love to be seen and enjoyed by all. Tank water nurtures its thirst and a natural alfresco can be found under a tree canopy, the perfect spot for light reading or afternoon tea.
Impressive as it sounds, your inspection will impress even further. Elegance is redefined in this fantastic locale!
