9 The Strand, Kennington VIC 3550

Arriving at number 9, The Strand, you might find yourself thinking you are somewhere in Europe instead of the quiet side of Kennington.

The elevated home embodies the warm relaxed look of a European chalet with its wide front balcony, sloping roof, diagonal timber trim and overhanging eaves.

The welcoming entry opens to a tiled foyer providing access to the formal living zone and the main bedroom. The luxurious suite encompasses a substantial walk-in dressing room lined with robes and storage drawers, while the large ensuite includes a central vanity basin flanked by an in situ shower and WC.

The formal living areas are perfect for entertainers with a spacious lounge/dining combination with city views over the front garden.

Alongside is the heart of the home – a stunning kitchen, meals and family living area boasting timber-lined raked ceilings with exposed beams and a feature brick open fireplace with cosy gas log fire insert flanked by built-in cabinetry.

The chef-worthy kitchen features a central stone-topped island bench with a gas cooktop under a copper range hood canopy, a Miele dishwasher, electric wall oven, two walk-in pantries, loads of timber cabinetry and a conveniently placed study nook.

The dining area can accommodate a crowd before it spills through sliding doors to timber-lined verandahs.

The rear section of the home includes two more robed bedrooms serviced by the main bathroom, a powder room and laundry with access to the backyard.

The expansive alfresco area is a private paradise with stone crazy paving underfoot, a shade sail overhead and a natural gas barbecue for cooking. It's an idyllic setting embraced by leafy hanging and rock gardens behind brick retaining walls and steps to the upper garden and fernery.

Extra features include ducted heating/cooling, a second powder room off the entry, storage tucked into every available space, a plus-sized double garage with workshop/storeroom, rainwater tank and reticulated sprinkler system.

The superior design and style of this property is a triumph of craftsmanship not seen these days. Plus, it has all the advantages that come with a Kennington address - it's a case of the right house on the right street. Call for a personal inspection.
