An architectural landmark of enduring elegance, “Bel-Air” is a distinguished 1934 Art Deco residence offering five bedrooms, three bathrooms and exceptional family space, where original period detailing and contemporary updates unfold amid impeccably landscaped gardens.

Commanding a prominent corner position, its striking brick façade celebrates the streamlined Moderne style through graceful curves, horizontal detailing and a dramatic semicircular entrance and stairwell. Beyond two charming white gates and a glazed front door, a magnificent entrance hall introduces oak herringbone parquetry flooring and a sense of space that defines the home throughout.

A gracious formal living room with fireplace provides a refined setting for entertaining, complemented by a generous formal dining room opening to the patio. A separate living room flows through to the light filled meals area and beautifully updated kitchen, where sleek cabinetry, an integrated refrigerator, induction cooktop, double sink and a premium suite of Miele appliances, including a conventional oven with steam function and microwave combine style with practicality. A substantial study with fireplace offers a work from home retreat, while a separate laundry with ample storage and a third bathroom on the ground floor add convenience.

Ascending the sculptural staircase, a captivating curved gallery with recessed display niches leads to five spacious first floor bedrooms, four with built in robes and two with access to their own balconies and elevated leafy outlooks. Two bathrooms serve this upper level, one beautifully modernised and the other retaining its original charm. An expansive first floor rumpus room provides a superb family retreat or the flexibility to become the fifth bedroom if required.

Outside, established hedges and immaculate landscaped gardens create an exceptional sense of privacy. An inviting entertaining patio overlooks the 10 metre solar heated swimming pool with glass safety fencing, offering a wonderful setting for relaxed family living. Further features include gas ducted heating to the ground floor, split system heating and cooling and a double garage.

Within walking distance of Mont Albert Primary School and close to Koonung Secondary College, this prestigious Balwyn address enjoys easy access to Whitehorse Road cafés, restaurants and shopping, local villages, trams connecting Box Hill and the CBD, and Beckett Park and Maranoa Botanic Gardens.
