36 Kitchener Street

Deepdene VIC 3103

Boldly renovated to defy cliche in an exclusive Balwyn High School-zoned street, this unashamedly bespoke three bedroom two bathroom plus study residence masterfully utilises lofty light-filled expanses, rich natural textures and brilliantly designed levels to create a home that rejoices in all the chic of the 1970s. Seamlessly integrated to largely paved, north-facing, outdoor living and organised under striking vaulted ceilings where abundant natural timber is complemented by polished concrete flooring, this is an endlessly engaging home of exquisite taste to suit discerning families who love to entertain.

At its heart, the kitchen / meals is set under one of the homes vaulted ceilings with slab-heated polished concrete flooring and induction cooking as it steps up a timber-floored dining room with a clever built-in bench seat and then steps down again to a chic, 70s-inspired sunken lounge. Here, a wrap-around lounge suite is built-in and warmed both by a roaring fireplace set in stacked stone and more sub-floor heating for an ambient living experience. Together, the spaces spill outdoors to paved outdoor entertaining, flanked by easy-care gardens and a firepit area to ensure everyone has a place whenever the family entertains.

The primary bedroom brings to parents a sense of indulgence, set upstairs, under another vaulted ceiling with a built-in super king-sized bed, huge walk-in robes, an ensuite and remote-activated blinds, as well as an adjacent living room / retreat and a brilliant office. In such a details-oriented home, additional highlights include securely gated intercom entry, a lock-up garage with mezzanine storage, custom built-in robes in the remaining bedrooms and hydronic heating as well as air conditioning to complement the sub-floor heating.
