72 Harley Street, Strathdale, Vic 3550

Influenced by Melbourne project home construction companies like Pettit & Sevitt or Merchant Builders, Bendigo's local builders followed their lead and our suburban housing took on a new look in the early 80's. Located in a sought after Strathdale street, this architect-designed, ex display home is a fine example. The brick-veneer lowline-style features terracotta-tiled roof and full-length north-facing, pergola-covered courtyard with double, lock-up carport beside the front entry.

Inside, a private study/guest room and main bedroom with revamped ensuite are found at the front of the house, away from the children's two bedrooms-plus-bathroom suite.
In between, the living areas are large and airy with cedar-lined cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and glazed sliding doors on both sides providing abundant light, cross-ventilation in summer and views giving the impression of living in the garden.The lounge/dining room can cater to a crowd when called for while the open-plan kitchen, meals and sitting room is the ideal family hub. Remodelled kitchen is equipped with ceramic cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and walk-in pantry and general storage cupboards are tucked into every available space throughout. Gas heating and split system units complimented by ceiling fans keeps the inside comfy and in summer you can gravitate to the shady pergola and watch the children splash about in the sparkling 10 metre in-ground pool (solar heated, salt-chlorinated).
Set on a corner allotment approximately 706 square metres, the residence is surrounded by native, bird-attracting landscaping with off-street parking for extra vehicles, trailer, caravan etc.
Walk to Kennington Reservoir, state forest, schools and shopping or catch public transport to town from the bus stop directly opposite.
