Private Auction | Saturday, 8 August 2026 at 3pm Composed with the grace of French Provincial architecture, this immaculate residence commands its tree-lined street with undeniable scale and presence, unfolding across two levels behind secure gates and manicured gardens. Zoned for Balwyn High School, this family home sets a tone of grandeur from the moment you step inside, with soaring ceilings and wide parquetry floors delivering an immediate sense of occasion. Ground floor accommodation includes a north-facing bedroom with fully tiled ensuite and walk-in robe, ideal for guests or multi-generational living, alongside a study that closes off for quiet focus. A formal living and dining room, elegant beneath a crystal chandelier and opening to a tropical garden outlook, offers a sophisticated setting for relaxing and entertaining, while a substantial open-plan family domain at the rear unites living, dining and kitchen around a Heat and Glo fireplace and extensive glazing, with concertina doors extending the living zone outdoors. The impressive Miele-equipped kitchen centres on a waterfall-edged stone island, complemented by a concealed butler's pantry with its own Bosch cooktop and additional storage, a genuine asset for hosting or extended households. Outside, a paved undercover alfresco terrace, fire pit with bench seating, herb gardens and secure boundaries create a private, low-maintenance retreat for children and adults alike. Upstairs, an expansive retreat with projector setup provides a versatile living zone, leading to a main bedroom wing with walk-through dressing room and hotel-calibre ensuite featuring a spa bath and twin vanities. Three further robed bedrooms, each with ensuite or semi-ensuite access, provide space and privacy for a growing family. Further appointments include a powder room, ample laundry with external access, ducted heating and cooling, alarm and video intercom, ducted vacuum, exterior storage shed and an internally accessed double garage. Close to Fintona Girls' School, Camberwell Grammar and Balwyn Primary, this is a rare opportunity in one of the area's most sought-after family pockets. Whitehorse Road's shopping village, cinema and dining are an easy stroll away, trams connect toward Kew's private schools, and Maranoa Botanic Gardens offers a leafy retreat close to home. A home that combines scale, quality and address in equal measure, built for family life today, and for many years to come.
