8 Balmanno Crescent, Strathmore VIC 3041

Built to exacting standards of over 50 squares, this luxury home is set on the high-side of the street surrounded by fully landscaped gardens, modern 5BR home (c2016) presents a truly aspirational family lifestyle opportunity with its vast and versatile design, first-class features and terrific living/entertaining zones both inside and out.

Beyond the timelessly elegant facade, discover an opulent interior showcasing five spacious bedrooms (extra-large master with dressing room, three with WIRs, one with BIRs) complemented by four deluxe ensuites and equally-stylish (fifth) bathroom.

Adding to the allure is a study/home office and three additional study alcoves (all with integrated workstations), lounge/theatre room and rumpus/retreat (upstairs) as well as an expansive open-plan living/dining area complemented by a stunning kitchen with stone benchtops and island breakfast bar, premium joinery, motorised overhead cupboards, a suite of Miele appliances and adjoining butler's pantry. Impressively high ceilings throughout, the home also includes a large laundry with chute and dedicated wine storage room, zoned ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, motorised blinds (living area), alarm and video intercom, ducted vacuum, data cabling, solar power and solar/gas hot water, as well as floor-to-ceiling Italian porcelain tiles, stone-top vanities and rain-head showers to all bathrooms.

Dual stacker doors (with retractable flywire screens) reveal a bluestone-paved alfresco entertaining area with Smeg BBQ kitchen and cafe blinds overlooking the wonderfully private backyard garden, plus the advantage of an oversized internally-accessed double garage via gated side driveway (both remote-control).

Walking distance to Napier Park, Salmon Reserve and Woodlands Park, it's also close to public transport options, popular cafes and shopping precincts, Strathmore Primary School and Strathmore Secondary College (zoned to both) as well as easy access to Citylink.
