Gracefully set within exquisite leafy gardens and true to its name, ‘Oasis’ is a superbly renovated circa-1920s Edwardian residence that unfolds as a private sanctuary of light, greenery and luxurious family entertaining with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an independently accessed home office with dual workstations. Every space tells a story and flows to a beautifully crafted open-plan and alfresco rear, while framing leafy verdant outlooks and culminating in poolside entertaining that promises endless hours of fun with family and friends.

At its heart, a Smeg-equipped kitchen with stone benches, subway tiling and a big Butler’s Pantry is perfect for everything from the daily family grind to large-scale entertaining, as the open-plan dining living rooms extend outdoors through two sets of concertina doors to a broad undercover deck with distinct dining and living zones. All overlooking one of the largest (solar heated and salt water chlorinated) in-ground swimming pools in Balwyn - completed with a BBQ area - the promise here is that this will be a home at which your children’s friends want to congregate.

Also offering an ambient central lounge room that is warmed by a gas log fireplace and a vast upstairs living room, the home offers plenty of respite from the open-plan if needed. Parents can also enjoy the tranquility of a primary bedroom set downstairs with generous walk-in robe and a fully-tiled ensuite that also offers a heated towel rails.

Introduced by a newly poured and tiled front veranda, the attention-to-detail is evident upon entry in this home that also features high ceilings, an upstairs bathroom with rainwater shower and a bathtub, as well as a downstairs powder room and a carport with securely gated driveway parking for a second vehicle. Further highlights include a huge amount of storage throughout – including under the home and in the roof cavity – plus there is attractive Oak flooring, plantation shutters everywhere, hydronic heating and split system air conditioning, as well as ducted vacuum and a security alarm.

A timeless family sanctuary, ‘Oasis’ is close to everything that delivers the Balwyn lifestyle – zoned for Mont Albert Primary School and pivotal to countless private schooling options, while offering easy access to all the cafes, dining, shopping and transport of both Whitehorse Road and Union Road, and buses to the CBD and Box Hill.
