1 Hertford Crescent
Balwyn

Simply stunning in its scope, breath-taking in its scale and luxuriously appointed without compromise, this palatial five-to-six bedroom residence is a builder's own, meticulously crafted, 104sq masterpiece. Set on a staggering allotment, in the ever-popular zone for Balwyn High School, the home creates a picture-perfect indoor-outdoor connection to suit the most discerning of families and home entertainers.

With an almost theatrical sense of occasion, a generous entrance hall introduces a formal lounge, semi-attached dining and an office / sixth bedroom, all under soaring ceilings. Effortlessly, the flow continues to an extravagant gourmet kitchen where an integrated Liebherr refrigerator is complemented by an imposing stone-topped island bench, a butler's pantry and a suite of Miele appliances that includes twin ovens, a warmer, dishwasher and induction cooktop. Effortlessly, two sets of concertina doors connect the open plan to a huge undercover alfresco entertaining area with an outdoor kitchen and further connection to a heated, showpiece swimming pool.

Climb a floating staircase of timber, cast iron and glass to discover the luxury of five bedrooms all privately staged and adjacent to another lounge/living area. Of these, the master suite is palatial with huge robe storage and a fully tiled ensuite, whilst a second bedroom also combines walk-in robe storage with another ensuite.

In keeping with a home of this magnitude, the basement offers an incredible ten car garage, plus there is a third bathroom upstairs, another in the pool house, two more powder rooms and a laundry with a clever drying area. Further luxuries include central and zoned ducted heating and air conditioning, as well as hydronic heating upstairs, solar power, a security alarm, ducted vacuum and much more.

This peaceful pocket of family harmony is merely moments from Balwyn Village and city-bound trams along Whitehorse Road that offers easy access to elite Melbourne private schools, plus you have beautiful spaces of Maranoa Botanic Gardens just around the corner.
