18 Hillsyde Parade, Strathmore, Vic 3041

THE DEAL	
Pairing a renovated four-bedroom main home with a self-contained two-bedroom residence at rear, this Old Strathmore rarity offers luxury from the outset, spectacular valley views, and multigenerational living capabilities beyond anything the suburb’s seen before.

Hidden away behind lush landscaping for separation from the outside world, the main home sprawls over two sumptuous storeys to offer superb sunlight, outstanding space, and all the adaptability a family could ever ask for. A wide-open living/dining area flanks a kitchen that’s sure to impress with its Franke and Asko appliances, servery windows, walk-in pantry, and lengthy stone benches, while an alfresco terrace’s sweeping views make every occasion a memorable one. A downstairs retreat and multi-user office cater for teenagers and home professionals alike, while accommodation in four bedrooms and three bathrooms mean there’s plenty of room to grow into. Other highlights include solid tallowwood floors, comprehensive heating/cooling, plantation shutters, video intercoms, two-phase power, extensive under-house storage, a full-size laundry, ducted vacuum, dedicated workshop, three-car garage, and driveway parking for a boat/trailer and several added cars.

Bounded by vibrant Napier and Woodland Streets in Strathmore’s most prestigious pocket, it’s only moments to great coffee, renowned restaurants, and boutique shopping along with pristine parks, the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, zoned Strathmore Secondary College, Essendon’s elite private schools, Strathmore Station, and CityLink.

SEALS THE DEAL
A self-contained second residence enjoys its own pergola, driveway access, and privacy at block’s rear, featuring two bedrooms, a bathroom, open living/dining area, kitchen with an integrated laundry, and heating/cooling to be perfect as a base for visiting family, adult children needing their own space, or short/long-stay renting.
