1180 Burke Road, Balwyn North, Vic 3104

A landmark family residence, steeped in tradition and brimming with future possibilities, this exquisitely charming four bedroom Art Deco double brick two storey home with sweeping upstairs views that span from the towers of the CBD to the Macedon Ranges is set on a magnificent allotment of approximately 894 square metres (Frontage of 19.2 meter approximate). Offered for the first time in over 40 years in North Balwyn’s most prestigious and tightly held Riverside Estate, the home is perfect for discerning families with a desire to enjoy the character and comfort of a spacious period classic within close proximity to shops, public transport and schools.

Elevated grandly above the street and framing delightful treetop vistas in all directions, the naturally light-filled home features Art Deco origins with rich timber panelling, gracious staircase, built in curved seating, cabinetry, etched glasswork and stunning built-in mirrors. The elegant entrance hall opens to a classical Blackwood timber kitchen/meals area with seamless connection to the informal living room which features a built-in mantle piece and mirrors.
Equally rich in character, the entrance hall also opens to a formal dining room and lounge room featuring an impressive fireplace with built in timber cabinetry, which further enhance the home’s rich ambiance.

Upstairs each of the four generously spacious bedrooms enjoy the privacy of their own corner position with brilliant views - some to the City and the mountains - whilst a terrific terrace is a first class vantage point for some of Melbourne’s most spectacular fireworks. Further highlights include a large traditional Deco Bathroom with separate toilet, a laundry/powder room downstairs, as well as a lock-up garage with workshop and storage, secure carport parking and driveway parking for another five vehicles. In addition there is central ducted heating and reverse cycle air-conditioning/heating upstairs.

This is a premier family location within walking distance to trams, buses, supermarket, North Balwyn Village, shops and cafes on High Street, the glorious open spaces of Hays Paddock, the Yarra Trail, and close to a stunning selection of Melbourne’s most coveted private schools.
