11 Erniold Road, Strathdale VIC 3550

Making an impressive statement in style and character, this immaculate residence is an accomplishment in recapturing the essence of the Federation style.

The one-owner home sits amid manicured gardens on a larger-than-average lot of approx. 1000Sqm. opposite the Greater Bendigo National Park with abundant bush tracks and spring wildflowers.

When planning their home, the owners put a lot of thought, love and research into getting the Federation details just right. They included a return verandah with turned timber posts supporting the terracotta-tiled roof with decorative ridge capping, dragons and chimney pots.

Inside you will find the entrance hall adorned with leadlight door panels, a timber fretwork arch and higher ceilings with plaster cove cornices and ceiling roses/panels.

Designed for stylish living and entertaining the elegant formal lounge room has an open fireplace with timber overmantle and a box-bay window with leadlight panels framed by a timber fretwork arch. It opens through double glass doors to the formal dining room – the perfect dinner party arrangement.

The heart of the home is the kitchen and family room, where French doors frame views across the back garden and access a sun-drenched timber alfresco deck to create a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

The kitchen hosts ample timber cabinetry and benchtops with electric cooking for effortless entertaining and daily living.

At the end of a hallway, the oversized master suite with walk-in robes and ensuite flows through French Doors to the return verandah, while two more robed bedrooms share the main bathroom with spa bath, timber vanity, shower and WC.

The backyard includes a second shaded alfresco outdoor area offering shelter from the elements and another space for entertaining or quiet relaxation.

Finishing the picture is the bitumen driveway to the double garage with rear workshop/studio, rainwater tanks, lemon/lime trees and a stunning ornamental pear providing shade, spectacular autumn colour and spring blossom.

Walking distance to Strath/Kennington shopping, cafes, restaurants, schools, the University, Kennington Reservoir, sporting facilities and a quick drive to the CBD.

From the minute you drive into the driveway or walk up the sweeping garden path, you'll fall in love with this home. Set back from the street, it's an impeccably maintained family home designed for families of all ages and stages.
