18 Hood Street
Balwyn North

Inspired by the grandeur of French Provincial architecture, palatially proportioned and infused with a stunning sense of modern luxury, this breath-taking five bedroom plus study residence is peacefully situated in one of the most exclusive and tree-lined Balwyn High School-zoned streets. Timelessly elegant with deluxe interiors, superbly landscaped gardens and an alluring alfresco flow, the home is ideal for the most discerning of family entertainers.

Defined by glorious chevron-styled American Oak flooring and set under towering ceilings, the home has been carefully curated to create seamless indoor-outdoor connection as it flows past a spectacular sweeping staircase - set under a double height ceiling with a showpiece chandelier - to its open-plan crescendo. With glorious marble benches and a suite of Miele appliances, as well as a Butler's Pantry, the kitchen is a gourmet chef's delight as it continues outdoors to undercover alfresco dining where an outdoor kitchen has been enhanced with ceiling fans and heating for year-round enjoyment.

Each of the bedrooms has been completed to the most exacting of standards, with fully European-tiled ensuites and custom built-in robes - as well as a kitchenette and balcony with glorious park views in the main bedroom. Importantly, a separate lounge - with gas fireplace - and an upstairs retreat offer plenty of peaceful places for growing families, plus there are two powder rooms and a double lock-up garage and securely gated driveway parking for another two vehicles. Additional luxe features include a five-star energy rating, double glazed windows, abundant storage, intercom entry, central and zoned heating and air conditioning.

Walk to the open spaces of Macleay Park, as well as Balwyn High School and Balwyn Primary School, all with High Street nearby with shops, cafes, trams and easy access to elite private schools, plus you have the Eastern Freeway and Westfield Doncaster nearby.
