152 Doncaster Road, Balwyn North, Vic 3104

Architect-designed and in the one family since it was built, this solid-brick 3 bedroom family home in the Balwyn High zone is laden with English-style charm and has as much classic appeal today as when it graced the pages of House & Garden in 1951.

Set deeply into a generous north-facing allotment of more than 700 sq m approx., it is in sound, original condition and comes with the distinct bonus of rear access and sweeping southerly views that may inspire renovation or redevelopment plans (STCA).

Comprising welcoming entry to a smart hall with a cloak cupboard, a spacious formal sitting room with atmospheric inclusions such as colonial-style glazing, a chandelier and an open fireplace complete with fireside shelving and wood storage, an elegant adjoining formal dining room with another chandelier, an original, country-style kitchen with a cosy dining nook, 2 spacious bedrooms with robes share an original terrazzo bathroom with a separate bath. A front bedroom with polished timber floors, access to a front terrace, storage and shelving, is currently used as an additional living room.

The generous rear garden has single garage access, a single carport and large garden shed. In a great location just metres to city and Kew Junction trams and buses, it is close to a choice of schools and parkland, Balwyn or Balwyn North shopping, freeway access and Westfield shopping. Ducted heating, air conditioner, generous off street parking.
