176 Whitehorse Road

Elevated and set back behind its north-facing frontage, this single level brick Edwardian presents an exciting opportunity to immediately enjoy a prestigious Balwyn lifestyle. Surrounded by many of the area's finest homes, extended three-bedroom proportions provide comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation while a deep 466sqm parcel with no heritage overlay and a prime location support a range of renovation or new home possibilities (STCA) whenever the time is right. Beyond its charming verandah entry, a spacious foyer introduces three bedrooms with high ceilings and rich period character, including one with northern bay window, another with bay window and open fireplace. At the rear, previously extended areas host generous living and dining areas with a firebox and rear garden views, an immaculate, fully equipped modern kitchen, basic bathroom and laundry. Freshly painted throughout, further highlights include ducted heating, split system cooling, leadlight windows, polished hardwood floors, sunny rear garden with fruit trees, oversized carport and multi off-street parking. Move straight in, then when ready, retain the three original rooms and design a contemporary rear transformation, second-storey addition or even a brand new home, capitalising on the parcel's northern orientation, possible first-floor Ranges views and wonderfully convenient lifestyle location. Relish the easy convenience of doorstep trams to Kew private schools or a short stroll to renowned local cafes, Balwyn Cinema and parks. Walk to Balwyn Village shops, boutiques and restaurants, Deepdene Village cafes, Camberwell Grammar, Fintona and Balwyn Primary. An astute strategy for education-focused families, investors or those seeking to downsize to an easily managed, independent home.
