While still reflecting its gracious past, this classic Art Deco residence of 10 main rooms - set over three levels – has been stunningly throughout to produce a distinctive home to suit the demands & varying needs of today's modern families. What was originally the extensive ‘maids quarters’ on the lower ground level is now a large, separate but integrated zone extending to three areas plus renovated bathroom ideal to serve as a home office, live-in nanny quarters, a teenage bedroom/retreat, in-law or visitor accommodation, etc. Ideally located close to shops, transport, freeway access -- and with Balwyn High School zoning - the home’s principal areas, including living and dining, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms & study are set on the ground & 1st floor levels. Its elevated front entry terrace gives the property a commanding street presence while, inside, its north orientation floods virtually every room with natural light. The grandeur of its past lives on through its glorious array of original architectural highlights – including extensive terrazzo stone, polished timber parquetry flooring; a grand, sweeping staircase with ornate wrought iron work, period decorative glass $ cabinetry features. The entry hall, where the staircase takes centre stage, links to an impressive, large living room crowned by an original elevated fireplace & beyond to the elegant dining room complete with built-in period buffet unit & glass doors to a private garden. To the rear side is the near new fitted kitchen with loads of cupboards & bench work space plus meals area that also opens to the paved and grassed rear garden. On this level there is also a front facing study, a guest powder room & a laundry/bathroom. Upstairs, the four bedrooms all sit across the front of the house & include built-in robes. The master bedroom is notably large &, like all rooms, finished with superb, new drapes or Roman blinds. The large bathroom up here is quite spectacular with its original features enhanced with period style updates including fabulous mirrors. There’s a separate powder room as well upstairs. Other features include ducted heating throughout, a storage shed + remote control garage with internal access from the lower level -- & off-street parking.
