The old adage 'they don't make them like they used to' certainly applies to this timeless red clinker brick home in the Balwyn High School zone. Privately screened by well-established gardens, with breathtaking northerly views that need to be seen to be believed, it stands as a stunning reminder of a bygone era, immaculately preserved to this day. Inside, it is like stepping back in time, with a spacious timber lined lounge and dining room accentuated by a built-in buffet, retro lighting and stone feature fireplace.
The contemporary kitchen, meals and family room enjoy glorious north facing sunlight, with sweeping views towards the Kinglake Ranges - that can be fully appreciated on the peaceful decked balcony. Two generously sized, robed bedrooms rest in between a fresh family bathroom and there is the added bonus of ducted heating, cooling, two garages and an extra downstairs living area - opening out to the lush back gardens. Simply spotless, some modern touches could see this classic home brought into a new era, while the generous 667sqm approx. allotment offers great future development potential; with an assortment of neighbouring home styles to draw inspiration from (STCA). A highly coveted Balwyn High School zone position completes the picture; within walking distance to buses, trams and Leigh Park, just moments from recreational facilities, reputable primary and secondary schools, Greythorn Road shops, Doncaster Park and Ride, Westfield Shopping Centre and the Eastern freeway.
