Butcher Street, Strathdale VIC 3550

This distinguished house is a remarkable architectural creation set in the leafy suburb of Strathdale on a generous 1670 square meter corner block spanning two titles. Its design, inspired by celebrated Sri Lankan architect Bala Balendra, brings a sophisticated Asian-influenced modernism to this Bendigo location, blending timeless craftsmanship with natural elegance.

The residence offers an inviting lifestyle with thoughtfully curated bespoke elements that enhance comfort and character.
