Superbly located in a prized neighbourhood celebrated for its heritage homes and proximity to trams, trains, and Chapel Street, this outstanding Balaclava residence presents a captivating mix of Victorian era charm and elegance coupled with sleek enhancements designed for effortless contemporary liveability in north-facing splendour.

Beautifully maintained, the single-fronted, block-fronted weatherboard facade is picture-perfect with ornate ironwork verandah and plantation-shuttered windows in front of a neatly landscaped front garden.

Enhancing seamless indoor/outdoor living and entertaining, bi-fold doors open to the expansive north-facing L-shaped alfresco dining deck with auto awning and gas-plumbed barbecue area. Adorned with stunning ceiling roses, the two bedrooms in the front section of the home are of a good-size, with quality carpets and built-in robes, while the recently upgraded bathroom has a stone twin-vanity and luxe walk-in shower with dual head rain shower. Includes Euro laundry, attic storage with pull down ladder, central heating plus split system, and back-to-base security and alarm system.
