Family Elegance with an Alfresco Entertainers' Spirit

Reflecting the very finest of European-inspired, family-sized elegance, this grand, four-to-five bedroom residence is exclusively set in one of Balwyn's most sought-after, Balwyn High School-zoned pockets. Exquisite taste is coupled with a love of indoor-outdoor connection in this proud, family entertainers' paradise. <br/><br/>A sense of class, formality and tradition gives way to a more relaxed open-plan style of living, as the home opens up to reveal a granite-topped kitchen with a Miele cooktop and family/meals, all with glossy Herringbone flooring and an open fireplace. Two sets of French Doors open to a vast outdoor living area - partially undercover for all-season enjoyment - as it overlooks a heated in-ground swimming pool and a half-court basketball court. Also warmed by a fireplace, the home's lounge provides a more formal space while a separate dining room can readily be used as a music room. <br/><br/>Four upstairs bedrooms deliver luxurious accommodation finished with either walk-in or built-in robes - the master with its own fully-tiled ensuite. Also upstairs, servicing the bedrooms, sits an additional living area/teen retreat and a central bathroom that has been finished with a central spa bath, independent shower and two basins. <br/><br/>Downstairs, the study could easily be used as a fifth bedroom with plenty of its own storage, plus there is a double lock-up garage, solar electrical pads on the roof, a rainwater tank, a huge laundry with volumes of cupboard space, excellent storage throughout the home and secure driveway parking for an additional two vehicles, as well as intercom entry, ducted vacuum, central and zoned heating and air conditioning. <br/><br/>With its promise of a quality education at Balwyn High School, Greythorn Primary School or any of a number of nearby private schools, this brilliant location is moments from Balwyn East shopping village and Whitehorse Road, as well as city-bound trams, buses, Boroondara Sports Complex and the beautiful Maranoa Botanical Gardens. <br/><br/>Land size: 1,045sqm approx.
