Tastefully renovated family character meets an extraordinary sense of future opportunity in this grand, four-to-five-bedroom residence, set on an elevated cul de sac allotment of 824 square metres (approx.) that reveals sweeping views to the north and to Mount Dandenong. Exclusively situated within Balwyn's highly sought after Beckett Park precinct, this is a radiant mid-century classic that fills with northerly light while presenting the perfect blend of character for today and potential for tomorrow. The home's hub is a Bosch-equipped kitchen in which stone benchtops are complemented by twin ovens, gas cooking and a large Butler's Pantry, whilst open-plan dining / living is both spacious and warmly welcoming. Meanwhile, downstairs, one of the home's bedrooms - with independent access and built-in robe storage - can be utilized as an additional living space, rumpus or even home office, directly looking out upon paved outdoor living and entertaining. The main bedroom is an extraordinary space with a substantial wall of built-in robes and a fully-tiled ensuite, whilst another of the bedrooms spills out to a sun-drenched north-facing terrace. Additional highlights of this impressively presented home include two double carports - one with workshop space - and driveway parking for another four vehicles, as well as ducted heating, evaporative cooling, refrigerated air conditioning and split systems to ensure year-round comfort, plus there is polished hardwood flooring, a fully-tiled main bathroom, powder room and superb gardens. Merely moments from the village-like charms and shops of Belmore Road, as well as all the fine dining and city-bound trams of Whitehorse Road, this is a first class family location zoned for Mont Albert Primary School and with easy access to a staggering selection of elite secondary schools including Genezzano College, Carey Grammar School, Methodist Ladies College, Xavier and Trinity Grammar.
