17 King Street

Balwyn VIC 3103

This elegant double fronted Victorian family home sits side by side with its twin, both of which were first built in 1880 and now arguably remain amongst the earliest homes in Balwyn still standing. Preceded by a picket fence and neatly maintained garden lined with Iceberg roses the home is attractively framed by a pair of Weeping Cherry trees; the faade features an iron lacework verandah introducing a previously renovated, extended and recently refurbished interior adding generous split-level contemporary living and entertaining areas to an original period layout.

Featuring high ceilings with roses and rose coloured glass, the polished timber central hallway is flanked by a formal sitting and dining room, three downstairs bedrooms with built-in robes, one with an ensuite and a family bathroom with spa bath. Through to an expansive family domain incorporating a superbly equipped kitchen with CaesarStone benchtops, large island bench, premium appliances including a Bosch double oven and Smeg stainless steel cooktop and adjacent laundry. Leading to an upstairs retreat and a large main bedroom with WIR, dual ensuite and balcony. Plus a covered alfresco entertaining area and an ornamental tree-lined, private garden with a central water feature - perfect for year round relaxation and dining. Other features include alarm, remote double garage with substaintial attic storage, access from Eyre Street. OFPs, ducted heating, R/C air conditioner (main bedroom), surround sound and Plantation shutters.

Complemented by a leafy tree-lined street moments from Whitehorse/Burke Road transport options, Deepdene Primary and Village shops, cafes, restaurants and the Balwyn Cinema; plus easy access to some of Melbourne's finest schools, including Kew High zoning, plus several nearby parks or the Outer Circle trails for recreation.
