17 Alfred Road, Essendon, Vic 3040

Standing tall on the high side of a secluded dell, this professional builder's own home combines a 180 degree city view with three levels of spacious family accommodation and C-Bus automation. A contemporary revamp by Eon Design has transformed the brick 1950s house from solid to spectacular, with a bluestone terrace and two glass balconies from which to admire the panorama. The front living room with gas pebble fireplace is complemented by an airy dining and family area opening north to the rear garden with covered barbecue patio and fully tiled, solar heated and self cleaning pool and spa. Come midsummer, there's no need to choose between a quick dip and the cricket scores, one can watch television while swimming. Chefs will enjoy the Caesarstone kitchen, equipped with Blanco 900mm gas cooktop and oven, LG dishwasher and walk-in pantry.
With an elegant ground floor main bedroom suite (WIR and en suite with shower) and three first floor double bedrooms (WIRs) plus a large retreat and a Caesarstone bathroom with Rogerseller fittings, parents and children can bask in the harmony that privacy brings.
The rear garden backs onto the St Columban's Mission Society's grounds. 10 acres of former botanical gardens with many heritage listed trees.
Zoned for Strathmore Secondary College, and with Strathmore station and Citylink minutes away, this is a strategic address in Essendon's coveted single dwelling covenant area. Further inclusions: Laundry, powder room, outside toilet, excellent storage, Tasmanian oak staircases, automated sunscreen blinds, lower level gym/office with access to remote controlled double garage.
