No lack of space for a large family

BY VICTORIA CRAW

FROM the atrium to the deep blue pool, this Strathfield home has plenty of wow factor.

It’s set amid Homebush Rd’s mix of heritage and modern homes and caters perfectly to the needs of a large family.

The facade has wrought iron gates and a neutral colour scheme, with a landscaped garden facing the street. Large doors open to reveal a tiled atrium with a sweeping stairway up to the second level.

A fifth bedroom or study is located on the right while a downstairs bathroom is just next door. The left-hand side is taken up by a formal lounge, dining and casual living area. It’s easy to imagine how the house would work for entertaining with such spaces on offer.

Bi-folding glass doors line the back wall and opens on to a covered outdoor dining area.

The kitchen sits on the opposite side of the ground floor with a large black benchtop and oversized island.

It contains a large fridge, gas cooktop and dishwasher and leads to a second family dining area which overlooks the backyard. A deep pool outside is surrounded by a tiled sunbathing terrace, while a cabana contains a bathroom and drinks fridge for long days spent in the summer sun.

On the second level, stairs lead to a spacious landing lined with parquet floors.

Four double bedrooms branch off in all directions, each with high ceilings and a generous amount of floor space. Two also contain ensuites.

The master bedroom has a walk-in robe that would make some living rooms look small, and an ensuite with a spa bath.

Another two double bedrooms face the rear of the home, separated by a family living area which has access to a terrace balcony overlooking the pool.

The lower level has parking for eight cars, with another rumpus room and huge storage area which could easily be turned into a gym, workshop or cinema.
