Balwyn

Dramatically transformed by a landmark renovation into a contemporary masterpiece, this historically significant circa 1888 Victorian classic - with no heritage overlay - is enviably positioned in the prized zone for Balwyn High School, just metres from Whitehorse Road. Sparing absolutely no expense, this is a magnificent four bedroom residence with a home office / shed and a north-facing covered alfresco flow that promises endless hours of poolside family fun and entertaining.

Grandly elevated and evoking some of the feel of the proud farmhouse it once was, the home immediately exceeds expectation and opens up in spectacular style as if flows to an open-plan rear that is instantly engaging. A full suite of Miele appliances is complemented by 100mm stone benches with waterfall edges and seamless connection to two separate outdoor living areas that underline the home's bold entertainers' spirit. Concertina doors fold back to embrace the northern sun on a large deck that oversees an electric / gas heated in-ground swimming pool, while a second set of doors connect to a more serene, paved BBQ area.

The main bedroom is a blissful parental surprise with walk-in robes and a fully-tiled ensuite that highlights a floating wall-mounted vanity, while the remaining bedrooms are each loftily proportioned with built-in robes - one with a fireplace.

The level of detail is staggering within this home with a rear access to an oversized single carport, secure parking for a second vehicle at the front of the home and a convenient mud room, as well as a rear home office / shed and a spa bath sitting magnificently under an atrium style ceiling in the main bathroom. App-activated smart technology controls the central heating, air conditioning and pool heating, plus there is secure intercom entry, a security alarm, CCTV surveillance, a swim jet in the pool and irrigated gardens.

Just a leisurely walk from Whitehorse Road's cafe scene, dining, shopping and cinema, as well as Balwyn Primary School, while city-bound trams can take you to any number of Melbourne's finest private schools, while both Balwyn Park Macleay Park are both nearby as well.
