227 Guys Hill Road, Strathfieldsaye, Vic 3551

From the pretty bay windows at the front, to the Bali hut beside the pool, this lovely brick home is ready for the next family to make it their own. There are four bedrooms and an office, with the main bedroom having ample space, a large walk-in wardrobe and three-piece en suite. The other bedrooms and bathroom are towards the back of the home, placed just so for a peaceful night's sleep. Though in this great location the only thing to disturb you at night will be a few twitters from birds settling down late or a cow looking for her calf. The wide tiled entrance has the lounge to the left and draws you down to the centre of the home. The open-plan aspect of the dining room and kitchen means you can supervise the homework and have a chat about their day at school, all while you are preparing tea. The Jarrah timber kitchen has a corner pantry, gas appliances and adjoins the family room. Through the glass sliding doors is the entertainment area. It is a lovely spot, complete with built-in barbecue, flourishing fernery and a smooth, cement floor for the kids to ride their trikes around. Beyond the wrought iron fence lies the solar-heated, salt-water pool, where the Bali hut sets the scene for either a summer or winter swim. There are three water tanks to nourish your drought-tolerant lawn, crim-safe doors, bistro blinds on the garage that will roll-up when you need more space, and a very serviceable 6 x 6 metre shed, with cement floor, its own power and metre box and built-in metal shelving. The area is wonderful for young families with children. There are cement walking paths to the playground, a kinder, childcare centre and two primary schools handy, plus the One Tree Hill Regional Park opposite.
