A landmark family offering, breathtakingly renovated within Balwyn’s esteemed Reid Estate, this four-to-five bedroom, three bathroom Art Deco residence with a contemporary reimagining that embodies the best of modern day architectural excellence, while boldly defying cliché at every juncture. Set on a prized north-facing allotment and framed by exquisitely landscaped gardens, this is a showpiece home in which vast. gallery-like, spaces create seamless outdoor connections to simultaneously elevate daily life and delight alfresco entertainers.

Brilliantly zoned for family versatility, the home opens to a character-filled entrance hall with polished Brushbox flooring before flowing through to an open-plan rear that is effortlessly connected to a north-facing backyard with multiple sundrenched entertaining zones that have been carefully zoned to also retain a sense of intimacy. Underpinned by a gourmet European kitchen in which a vast stone bench with waterfall edges is set under striking pendant-style lighting and complemented by a walk-in pantry, the open-plan also features a built-in bar to make home entertaining a delight.

Offering all the space and spaces required by the growing family of today, the home also features an independently accessed rumpus / pool room at the rear with its own stunning bathroom and potential to serve as a fifth or multigenerational bedroom.
