A picture of period elegance brought into the modern day, this thoroughly reimagined five-bedroom residence offers refined comfort, supreme quality, and a wealth of space for a family to enjoy.
Shrouded by the foliage of a premier Balwyn street, a manicured front yard and charismatic façade prove charming precursors for inspired spaces to come. Providing all the room and versatility a family could ever ask for, four substantial bedrooms all boast their own walk-in robe and ensuite, with a quiet home office doubling as a fifth bedroom. With open wood fires making for cosy winter nights, vast front sitting and dining areas complement a brilliant entertainer's suite at rear, afforded a calm, airy ambiance by leafy sights and natural light. Oversized stacker glass makes indoor-outdoor movement completely seamless, revealing a covered alfresco ideal for hospitality with its bar heaters, ceiling fan, and top-of-the-range barbecue kitchen including a sink and commercial under bench refrigeration. Tall, sculpted hedges ensure total privacy in a sun-soaked backyard, with a kids' play area neighbouring a solar-heated pool/spa and garage/gym with its own bathroom to lift appeal beyond compare. The most passionate cook is certain to feel at home in Miele, Ilve, and Fisher & Paykel-equipped main and butler's kitchens, combining to feature 900mm induction and gas cooktops, three ovens, two dishwashers, and an integrated fridge/freezer.
With every facet considered, optimised, and made perfect for family life, highlights include a 2000-bottle wine cellar, expansive upstairs retreat, comprehensive heating/cooling, three-phase power, a powder room/sixth WC, automated blinds, skylights with solar blinds, solid spotted gum floors, camera security, a storage/communications room, Vintec wine fridge, laundry with chute, ornate details furthering period charm, and covered parking for five cars behind electric gates.
In a prestige pocket with parks in all directions, it's just footsteps to groceries and great coffee on Burke Road, lifestyle allures along Whitehorse Road, and the 109 Tram bound for Box Hill and the CBD, while close to Camberwell and Kew Junctions, acclaimed Deepdene Primary and Balwyn High (both zoned), some of Melbourne's finest private schools, and the Eastern Freeway for quick cross-town commutes.
