A family-friendly home with luxury inclusions and a low-maintenance design, 12 Bonthrone Street in Strathnairn is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property ideal for the modern family.

The property makes good use of its space with a formal front lounge room, a study nook, separate laundry, covered alfresco area and double garage. The interior makes an immediate strong impression with high ceilings and feature staircase.

“This home has so much space, the open living, dining area is especially attractive and the kitchen has a walk-in pantry with one of the largest benches I’ve ever seen,” LJ Hooker Kippax agent Olivia Schultz says.

Much like the rest of the property, the kitchen is defined by its high-quality inclusions. It’s spacious, offers plenty of storage, as well as being modern and sleek with quality appliances that will stand the test of time.

“The home’s kitchen is a real knockout. The 40 mm stone benchtop, five-burner cooktop, Electrolux appliances, hidden dishwasher and large walk-in pantry make the space so practical. It’s a kitchen that will really be appreciated by someone moving from a smaller space,” Olivia says.

The design of the bedrooms takes advantage of the home’s picture-perfect aspect.

“Each bedroom faces north and they’re lovely warm spaces. The main bedroom in particular is a standout with large windows, a high ceiling, a walk-in robe and an ensuite,” Olivia says.

Designed for privacy and convenience, the private spaces occupy the top floor while the ground floor is kept for entertaining, dining and living.

“This floorplan flows very well, it makes sense to have private and common spaces separate but not many homes do it,” Olivia says.

That ethos of effortless convenience with features that just make sense represents a common thread in this property.

Inclusions such as double-glazed windows throughout the home, an EV-ready 15 amp power outlet, 11 KW solar system with 10KW LG battery, a CCTV system and zoned ducted air conditioning go a long way in creating a low-maintenance, easy-to-manage home.

Located in the growing community of Strathnairn – with nearby cafes, parks and trails, and schools set to open soon – this property’s location offers a high quality of life with access to green spaces.

Yet for a large home, with lots of room, it’s easy to manage. The outdoor space, characterised by the alfresco area, is neat and low maintenance with a retaining sandstone wall already built.

“12 Bonthrone Street is great in that respect,” Olivia says. “The property has a lot going for it but without the usual management responsibilities one would expect of a place of this size.”

A well-located, ideally appointed home with great inclusions, its smart design meets the needs of a modern family. This home in a growing suburb has a lot to offer a professional couple or young family looking for their forever place.

“This property is a great opportunity for a family to buy a home where everything has been done and to a very high standard. It’s just waiting for someone to move in,” Olivia says.
