This superb mid-century modernist home, 'Stargazer House' designed in 1952 by renowned architect Peter McIntyre, presents an outstanding opportunity for those seeking a one of a kind home in this prized Balwyn North pocket. Occupying a stunning elevated corner position, the home's striking faade with its pitched roof of soaring windows has become a local landmark. Renovated and extended over the years, the home's tri-level floorplan is enhanced by the clean lines of its glass walls and Shug windows, providing light-filled living and year-round leafy vistas. A welcoming, wide entry foyer featuring Castlemaine slate leads through to the wonderfully flexible floorplan including lounge room with Jetmaster fireplace, sitting/meals area with built-in bar and deluxe granite kitchen featuring Blanco appliances overlooks sunny family/dining room. An entertainer's dream, every room opens out through French doors to low-maintenance garden with entertainment deck, paved terrace and majestic Lemon Scented Gum. The original open tread steel-beam staircase leads up to the private master suite with walk-in-robe and ensuite. Two further bedrooms including one with study nook are accompanied by family bathroom with dual vanities, separate bath and shower. Full length windows with remote-controlled blinds offer sublime, unobstructed skyline views, perfect for enjoying sunsets and starlit vistas from every room. Located at the basement level, is a sound-proofed home theatre, 500 bottle fitted wine cellar and office. Includes split system cooling units, ducted heating and laundry with powder room. The architecturally significant home is further enhanced by its prime position, close to Bellevue Village shops and Primary school, Kew High School, Koonung Creek parkland, Belmore Road buses, North Balwyn Village with easy access to Eastern Freeway and Westfield Doncaster.
