Positioned on the high side of one of Balwyn North's most tightly held streets and securely within the sought-after Balwyn High School zone, this beautifully updated brick residence blends timeless character with a considered contemporary renovation to deliver family living of rare comfort, space and flexibility. Set across two thoughtfully zoned levels and framed by established, leafy gardens, the home has been refreshed throughout while retaining the warmth and solidity that define the era's finest homes.
Rich polished timber floors flow underfoot as the layout unfolds across multiple distinct living domains, offering room for the whole family to gather or retreat. A gracious formal living room, anchored by a sculptural ring pendant and bathed in natural light through generous picture windows, connects seamlessly to an elegant separate dining room that captures a leafy, elevated outlook over the surrounding rooftops. A dedicated home study provides the ideal work from home sanctuary, while a relaxed lower-level living room, characterised by a striking exposed brick feature wall, opens directly to the poolside terrace for effortless indoor outdoor flow.
At the heart of the home, a fully renovated kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry with stone benchtops, a glass splashback and quality stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop and wall oven. A breakfast-bar peninsula invites casual gathering, while a walk-in pantry adds generous everyday storage, all positioned to capture the treetop views beyond.
Accommodation is equally well considered, headed by a serene main bedroom enjoying a tranquil garden aspect, a built-in robe and a private ensuite. Further bedrooms are appointed with built-in robes and serviced by two fully tiled, beautifully renovated bathrooms, one showcasing a sculptural freestanding bath, the other a walk-in shower and heated towel rail, complemented by a separate toilet for added family convenience.
Designed for year-round entertaining, the private rear garden is a genuine highlight, where a sparkling in-ground swimming pool framed by frameless glass and a sun-drenched timber deck adjoins a covered alfresco area made for relaxed weekend gatherings. Established lawns and leafy surrounds complete a peaceful, child-friendly setting.
Enhancing the home's everyday comfort are ducted heating and a split-system air conditioner, feature pendant lighting, elegant full length drapery, a practical laundry and a secure double garage with internal access and ample storage. All of this is set within one of Melbourne's most desirable family enclaves, moments from North Balwyn Village and the Greythorn shops and cafes, leading local primary schools, Koonung Creek Reserve and its walking and cycling trails, the Doncaster Park and Ride, Westfield Doncaster and swift city access via the Eastern Freeway and the number 48 tram. Combining a blue-chip address, flexible family proportions and a quality contemporary update, 78 Viewhill Road is an outstanding opportunity not to be missed.
