Set well back on a magnificent allotment with a wide frontage and lovely easy-care gardens, edged with picket fencing, forming a captivating back drop to this superb family home which is enhanced by a preferred northern rear aspect and an abundance of natural light throughout - evoking the sophistication and style of the Hamptons. The home was featured twice in Home Beautiful Magazine, first soon after construction in 1948 then again in 2010 and showcases a delightful ambience which leaves a lasting impression.
Introduced by a distinctive charcoal and white trimmed façade, the preserved Hamptons theme continues inside where the split-level interior features polished timber floors flowing through an entrance hall to a cosy sitting room, three bedrooms with built-in robes and a pristine family bathroom. An inviting family room with a generous garden outlook sits alongside an open plan dining area and stylishly appointed kitchen, equipped with stone bench tops and prestige Smeg and Westinghouse appliances. Leading to an external laundry, marvellous man cave/shed and a wide paved outdoor dining and entertaining area bathed in northern sunshine ideal for relaxing with family and friends. Other features include plantation shutters, ducted heating and evaporative cooling, gas fireplace, R/C air conditioners, a pretty cubby house, ample storage including a storeroom plus extensive off-street parking.
This opportunity is further enhanced by its family-friendly location, within walking distance of Balwyn East shops and restaurants including Coles and the Greythorn shopping precinct, including pharmacy, medical services and post office. Walk to Balwyn East Kindergarten and Friend Street Kindergarten, with easy access to Whitehorse Road, Greythorn Primary and Koonung High schools plus nearby parks, public transport into the CBD, Koonung Creek trails, Boroondara Sports Complex and the Eastern Freeway.
