The substantial dimensions and unique character of this exceptional residence are barely discernible from the street. Behind a high brick wall and lush gardens, the 2 storey facade of the original brick home gives little indication of the extended, 5 bedroom interior and the appeal it will hold for families hoping to buy in the sought-after Balwyn High School Zone.
Past the spacious entry foyer, a vast living area with exposed brick walls and an OFP, towers up to double-height cathedral ceilings. A bedroom at ground level also boasts high ceilings and has easy bathroom access. Expansive dining and family areas flow off the granite kitchen, with its Miele appliances, walk-in pantry and adjoining wet bar, to the alfresco entertaining deck.
Upstairs, 3 further family bedrooms share the main bathroom and separate shower room. The luxurious main bedroom suite includes ensuite bathroom, walk-through robes and retreat area, plus a private balcony at treetop level, which is a delight to enjoy day or night. Upstairs, there is also a versatile study/library or media space.
Relish this unique home as it is, or plan to personalise or modernise in the future.
Walk approximately 750 metres to Balwyn High School, Balwyn North Primary and St Bede’s Primary, plus North Balwyn Village shops and cafes, CBD bus and Docklands tram. Access to the Eastern Freeway and future North East Link is only minutes away. Nearby parks, sporting reserves and walking trails present an additional family lifestyle bonus.
