8 Highton Grove
Balwyn

In the June 1929 edition of Australian Home Beautiful this property was described as "an interesting Balwyn home" - however in the intervening years this impressive two-storey English-style residence has been totally transformed into a magnificent zoned family living and entertaining domain befitting today's lifestyle. Quietly tucked away in a leafy cul-de-sac in the coveted Reid Estate, one of Boroondara's finest residential precincts, it is close to prestige schools, shopping options and transport.

The property features a sunny, white interior with polished timber floors flowing between a formal sitting room, dining room, bathroom, informal living. Also included is a gourmet kitchen/living area, which features stone bench-tops with Euro appliances including fitted bench-top steamer, built-in kitchen aid, WIP and laundry/chute. The informal living areas have floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors that open onto a wide deck with an auto-awning, a gas mains barbeque, and a fully-tiled in-ground pool and easy care garden - this creates idyllic indoor/outdoor facilities for entertaining family and friends on any scale. Upstairs there are five bedrooms, main with WIR, ensuite and private balcony with northern views and a family bathroom. The 5th bedroom, situated over the large two-car garage, possesses an ensuite and would be suitable as a retreat or home office.

Other features include hydronic heating, JetmasterFPs, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, roof storage, in-ground trampoline, Jane Jones inspired landscaping with low maintenance stone walled front garden, fountain/pond and 40,000ltr underground water tank, utility area with sheds, remote double garage with powder room and off-street parking.
