The period statement of this clinker brick veneer 4 bedroom post war home has been perpetuated thanks to a clever extension and renovation that has retained the focus on original features, whilst creating a functional and stylish modern family home. The formal living, separate dining and main bedroom showcase the high ceilings with recessed features, cornices and picture rails, all hallmarks of this appealing home's original identity.
Northern light bathes the formal living area with its elegant mantelpiece and gas flame fire, and glass doors open to the separate dining room. The main bedroom, light and bright, is serviced by an en-suite with plus-size shower. There are two other generous bedrooms, and all provide extensive fitted robes. The family bathroom and powder room are centrally located.
Undoubtedly the hub of this warm and inviting home is the large, open family/meals space presided over by a stunning, as-new kitchen. Designed with practicality to the forefront, aesthetic appeal hasn't been forgotten with a muted modern palette providing the setting for an innovative island work-station full of storage opportunities; stainless steel appliances, Corian work surfaces, soft close drawers and state of the art pantry.
Downstairs provides a gym/playroom with access to a cellar and under-house storage, plus a 4th bedroom/home office, and leads out to an undercover alfresco space, double garage and a manageable size rear garden.
The home has ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a 5,000 litre water tank plumbed through to toilets and laundry. In the Balwyn High School Zone, close to local shops at Belmore Road, and shopping strip and tram at Whitehorse Road.
