Laden with storybook charm and enhanced by atmospheric gardens in full bloom, this captivating 1940s clinker brick cottage has been sympathetically renovated and extended over 2 levels to capture city views and emphasise enduring English-style character. In a quiet street within the Balwyn High zone and surrounded by a choice of public transport options, quality primary and secondary colleges, parkland, BSC pool and gym and shopping options, it is a real find for families.
Comprising quaint arched entry to a welcoming hallway with storage, arched glass doors open to a light-filled formal living and dining room with an open fireplace and corner windows, an updated country-style kitchen with original hearth and excellent ceiling-height storage overlooks a sun-drenched casual meals area with a huge picture window framing deck and garden views. Adjacent is a bright family room with original parquetry flooring and also with a picture window overlooking the al fresco dining area.
Two original ground floor bedrooms are currently set up as a study and additional sitting room but could easily be converted to bedroom accommodation. A renovated ground floor bathroom with a bath and pristine original terrazzo floor and a fitted laundry with garden views complete the ground floor layout. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms with attic ceilings and robes, the main with walk-in robes, dormer windows with a window seat, attic storage and city views, share a generous, renovated bathroom with frameless shower.
Outside, a deep, full-width undercover deck with nautical-style balustrading overlooks a pretty cottage garden complete with vegetable patch. Ducted heating, ceiling fans, side drive to single garage, timber floors, high ceilings with decorative cornices, excellent storage throughout.
