18 Hampshire Place, Strathfieldsaye, Vic 3551

Substantial, impressive and opulent, this property on just under 1/4 acre/1000m2 encapsulates all a family could wish for including a perfect location. Designed to accommodate a significant sized clan, a versatile floorplan permits a variety of leisure pursuits and hobbies to co-exist in harmony. Double entrance doors lead directly through to formal dining and media rooms and tease the eye with glimpses of the rear garden, an impressive start to the tour. Adjoining a games room, a casual family and meals area focuses on a huge wood heater. However, it is used for ambience rather than necessity, as refrigerated heating and cooling is zoned and ducted throughout. Fit to feed a growing family, the kitchen employs a 5 burner cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher, all in stainless steel and partially concealed behind a raised bench. Appointed to pamper parents, the master bedroom has an immense walk-in robe alongside an ensuite that encompasses an enormous spa, 1200mm shower, double basin vanity and separate toilet. Surrounding the bathroom are 3 more bedrooms and there's also a study, walk-in linen cupboard. If decadent entertaining outdoors is a long-held dream, you'll love the vast slate floor alfresco with truss roof, plus solar-heated swimming pool and landscaped grounds. The 9x4.5 metre shed with concrete base and power will enthuse others, and a double garage allows immediate entry into the house.
There is also the added bonus of side access to the back yard. Situated about 250 metres from sports facilities, it's only a 10 minute walk from school. Local shopping is close by too, as are bus stops to take travellers into Bendigo, just 9 kilometres away. Family home, sweet home!
