Set in Canterbury's tightly held Golden Mile, this elegant double-fronted Victorian offers something increasingly hard to find, a beautifully presented family home that can be comfortably enjoyed from day one, together with substantial land, a north-facing rear and no heritage overlay.
Positioned on a deep garden allotment in a beautiful tree-lined street, the home has been impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated, creating a warm, spacious and highly functional family environment. There is no need for immediate work. Move in, settle in and enjoy the home exactly as it is, with the land and lack of heritage overlay providing excellent flexibility for the future.
The classic Victorian façade, with ornate iron lacework verandah and double bay windows, introduces an inviting interior where period character blends easily with contemporary updates. High ceilings, ceiling roses, cornices and Baltic Pine floors retain the charm of the original home.
Accommodation includes a generous front sitting room, main bedroom, three further zoned bedrooms and two family bathrooms. At the rear, the home opens into an expansive split-level family living and dining area with parquetry floors, vaulted ceilings and skylights providing excellent natural light. A recently updated kitchen with Neff appliances, two ovens and farmhouse sink sits at the heart of the living space, while the upper-level mezzanine provides valuable flexibility as a retreat, home office, study or fifth bedroom.
Outside, the substantial north-facing rear garden is a major feature. The family living areas open directly to a sunny paved entertaining area and huge lawn, with plenty of room for children, entertaining and everyday family life. There is also ample space to add a pool if desired (STCA), without compromising the garden or open space.
Additional features include ducted heating, four open fireplaces, reverse-cycle air conditioning, heated bathroom floors, a freestanding bath, workshop and storage, garden shed, rainwater tanks, carport, additional off-street parking and rear lane garden access.
Perfectly located within easy reach of Whitehorse and Maling Road shops, cafés and restaurants, Balwyn Cinema and many of Melbourne's leading private and public schools, including zoning for Canterbury Girls Secondary College and Balwyn Primary School. Parklands, Canterbury Gardens, Maling Road and Canterbury Station are all within walking distance, with further public transport options close by, completing the lifestyle appeal of this prestigious Canterbury address.
