This landmark abode in the Balwyn High School zone offers unique manor house accommodation spread over two magnificent levels. Built in 1941 in Georgian revival style, this residence sits proudly on the high side of the street and has an impressive presence in this coveted locale.
From the exquisite cottage-style front garden to the glass conservatory at the rear, it exudes English charm and tranquillity. Constructed in solid double brick, and with laminated window glazing ensuring a peaceful interior atmosphere, it's packed with period flourishes such as decorative coffered ceilings.
The flexible family-friendly floorplan includes an elegant inner hallway sitting area with an open fireplace, and a stylish formal living room with a gas log fire and outlook to the garden. It is complemented by a large family room with built-in storage reminiscent of a country house library.

The recently renovated chef's kitchen boasts a Qasair rangehood, V-ZUG induction cook top, V-ZUG Combair oven and Combi-Steam oven and plentiful storage.
