Balwyn VIC 3103

A spectacularly large haven of family style and sophistication in the zone for Balwyn High School, this elegant, Englehart built French Provincial-styled contemporary classic reveals a lavish floor plan with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two offices and a sumptuous alfresco flow. Grandly elevated in one of the area's preferred treelined streets where sweeping views to the city skyline are proudly revealed, this is a palatial home to suit the most discerning of families.

Crafted for gourmet cooking and tasteful entertaining, a Miele-equipped kitchen with stone benches, a Butler's Kitchen and a walk-in pantry is organised around a wonderful waterfall-edged island that is perfect for the morning rush hour or relaxed pre-dinner drinks. Seamlessly, the open-plan extends outdoors to undercover alfresco dining, a paved entertaining area and easy-care gardens, plus there is a more formal dining room, a lounge and vast upstairs living, ensuring there are plenty of spaces to gather and plenty of spaces to be alone.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is remarkably large with its own north-facing terrace, an opulent (spa) ensuite and twin walk-in robes, as well as a huge home office. Meanwhile, a second bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and the third bedroom is set downstairs with semi-ensuite access to a central bathroom, whilst the remaining two bedrooms share semi-ensuite access to the home's fourth bathroom. The city view can be seen from the living room, balcony and bedroom windows on the second floor; the famous developer Englehart is located about 1km around; The room contains a large rainwater storage facility underground.
