Set well back in a deep front garden framed by Pencil Pine trees, this picturesque Anglo-Indian bungalow style family home with its high roof lines, a rendered façade, column portico and leadlight windows creates an appealing introduction to this period home. Combined with its preferred northern rear aspect and a prized location in the Riverside Estate one of the Eastern suburbs most sought after residential precincts. Originally built in 1928 it sympathetically retains some subtle Art Deco and Arts and Crafts attributes including beautiful decorative ceilings and a double arched hallway. It now offers an exceptional opportunity to renovate and extend out or up to update the interior in keeping with today's family lifestyles (STCA).
The character-filled interior features polished hardwood floors following through the hallway to a generous formal sitting and dining room combined, three bedrooms or currently two plus a study and a family bathroom. A central informal dining room includes a well-equipped kitchen with premium quality F & P ovens, stainless steel gas cooktop, dishwasher, WIP and adjacent laundry. Opening to a paved outdoor dining area in a leafy garden with soaring mature trees. Other features include an OFP, electric wall heater (second bedroom) and a cosy gasLFP (sitting room), ample storage including roof, annex storeroom, garden and the former garage plus off-street parking.
The home is further enhanced by this outstanding location moments from North Balwyn Village shops and cafes, IGA Boccaccio Cellars, The Harp or Kew Junction plus primary schools, Merrell or Bellevue Kindergarten and Kew High School. With easy access to the Eastern Freeway plus tram and bus options to an array of Melbourne's finest schools, nearby Yarra parklands and trails - all of which adds to the family lifestyle and recreation amenities on offer with this home.
