This charming and picturesque two-storey, clinker brick family residence pays homage to the admired English Tudor styling with its high pitched roof lines and subtle Art Deco attributes including leadlight glass windows and high ceilings. This home is enhanced by a much sought after location in the prized Balwyn High zone with a preferred northern rear aspect combined with an exceptional opportunity to re-build, renovate or update and extend into the rear garden (STCA); and so capitalising on the location.
A classic portico entrance introduces the interior featuring an entrance hall leading to a downstairs bedroom or study/home office, a formal sitting room opening to an adjacent dining room and northern sunroom. A kitchen and spacious informal family dining and living area has a walk-in pantry and adjoining bathroom/laundry overlooking a deep rear garden with a paved alfresco area and ample room for an extension if desired. With lovely views to the northern ranges from upstairs plus a study nook, period-style family bathroom and three further bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom with built-in robes and a picture window embracing the views. Other features include gas heaters and OFPs, ample storage including roof and garden shed/workshop, lock-up garage and off-street parking.
The Balwyn High zone is one of the Eastern suburbs most sought-after precincts and this superb home benefits from its location. Moments from Boroondara Park Primary and shops, Leigh Park and Yarra parklands or minutes to Greythorn or North Balwyn Villages, plus public transport options, including the number 48 tram at the doorstep with easy access to an array of Melbourne's other prestige schools and the CBD via the Eastern Freeway - providing all the family lifestyle amenities for which this area is renowned.
