434 Balwyn Road
Balwyn North

Effortlessly elegant in the catchment for Balwyn High School, this superb single-level residence is a securely gated and family-friendly haven with three-to-four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a tasteful sense of 1970s-inspired chic. Rich in earthy tones with plenty of light and timber surfaces stylishly throughout, the home has been crafted to defy convention and is easy to maintain in a sought-after position near Balwyn Road shops, glorious parkland and easy freeway access.

Accessed via a large, solid timber front door, the home is instantly engaging with its use of natural textures in a beautifully tiled entrance hall that unfolds to reveal a vast lounge and dining that is warmed by a gas log fireplace as well as an ambient, skylit family room / possible fourth bedroom with a wood burner heater, parquetry flooring and attractive timber paneling. Well-designed for a family lifestyle, the kitchen / meals fills with northern sunlight and highlights a welcoming informal breakfast bar for the morning rush hour.

Also warmed by attractive parquetry flooring, the bedrooms are wonderful sanctuaries – the primary bedroom with a dressing room and semi-ensuite access to a large family bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms have each been completed with large built-in robes custom-crafted of rich solid timber. Securely gated with a double lock-up garage and driveway parking for another two vehicles, the home also features paved outdoor living that basks in northern sunlight, as well as an easy-care backyard, ducted heating and two air conditioners.

Walk easily to some wonderful local cafes, dining and shopping on Balwyn Road, as well as Boroondara Park Primary School – for which the home is zoned – plus you have easy access also to the Eastern Freeway and High Street trams for easy city commuting.
