Overview

Art Deco Delight or Premier New Home Site (STCA)

The stunning street facade of this magnificent Art Deco residence instantly appeals with its elegantly curved front windows and wide wrought-iron vestibule entry. The polychromatic brickwork defines the iconic chimney, and at the rear a full-height curved wall makes a striking architectural statement. Families will be drawn to the Balwyn High School zoning, or to the city bus and tram accessing the Kew independent schools’ precinct. The 6 bedroom home, built in 1948 and extended and modernised over the years, is still in immaculate condition. Alternatively, buyers looking to build may consider the substantial block suitable as a new luxury home site (STCA). The formal living and dining areas and the expansive family room, with a cosy gas fire, cater to contemporary family living and entertaining, with a sleek, well-equipped modern kitchen opening to the family room and out to further private rear alfresco garden space. The 6 spacious bedrooms (3 up and 3 down) contribute to a family-flexible floorplan. One bedroom at ground level could easily serve as a study, or multi-generational accommodation might be an option. The light-filled upstairs bedrooms include large BIRs, ceiling fans and city skyline views. There is a bathroom on each level, a separate powder room and fitted laundry. Walk out the front door and turn right for Balwyn High School, Balwyn North Primary School, sporting reserves and Myrtle and Macleay Parks, and left for St Bede’s Primary School, North Balwyn Village, CBD bus and Docklands tram. The upgraded Eastern Freeway and North East Link will soon augment connectivity capabilities across the city. * Secure vestibule entry * Ducted heating * Gas fireplace * Ceiling fans * Security alarm * Garden irrigation system * Single drive-through garage with rear carport Disclaimer: While Fletchers and its third-party providers take reasonable care to ensure the information provided in this property description is accurate, Fletchers cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information provided.
