2 Para Street
Balwyn

A refined expression of sunlit proportion and irresistible poolside splendour, in a prestigious Balwyn setting, this spectacular five bedroom residence has been comprehensively renovated for fresh, al fresco living that leaves a lasting impression. Defined by quality and a love of natural light, the home offers warmly embracing spaces for families to grow, to gather with friends and also to be apart as needed.

Masterfully crafted to create enlightened indoor-outdoor connections in all directions, the home flows past a lavish north-facing lounge and dining to a contemporary open-plan rear. A stone-topped island bench provides a welcoming social focal point and a sense of demarcation in a newly-updated SMEG and Bosch-equipped, gourmet kitchen that overlooks vast family meals and living, all arranged around an ambient fireplace with built-in shelving. Seamlessly, twin concertina doors create easy connection to a partially undercover outdoor living with gas mains BBQ connections, a ceiling fan and outdoor heater for year-round al fresco entertaining, all adjacent to a new, heated, in-ground swimming pool, spa and water feature.

Importantly a formal lounge and dining area are well-removed from the open-plan, offering an added dimension to family living and entertaining, all freshly carpeted and oriented to enjoy northerly light while framing delightful garden outlooks.

Upstairs, the master suite is impressively proportioned for parental indulgence with a fully-tiled spa ensuite, walk-in robes and a private balcony - all adjacent to a large rumpus area, whilst downstairs, another generous robed bedroom with semi-ensuite access can serve as a second master bedroom or guest bedroom. Also upstairs, another pair of bedrooms share easy access to a fully-tiled, family-sized bathroom with an independent shower and bath, while the fifth bedroom can also be used as a downstairs home office with its own delightful garden vista.

Thoughtfully designed from top-to-bottom with rare attention to detail and surrounded by immaculately landscaped automatically irrigated and mood-lit gardens, the home is entered via a stunning timber swivel door and allows you to discover towering ceilings with superb hardwood under foot, as well as the additional joy of a double garage with direct internal access to the main home, secure driveway parking for a third vehicle, brand new central and zoned ducted heating and air conditioning. A comprehensive list of additional features includes but is not restricted to ducted vacuum, superb hardwood flooring, a convenient upstairs storeroom, a clever study nook, a laundry chute, an alarm and secure video intercom entry.

Perfectly positioned for a prosperous family life near Mackay Park, great cafes, plenty of shopping, dining and city-bound trams on Whitehorse Rd, plus you have an incredible selection of easily accessed elite schools including Kew High School, Genazzano College, Trinity Grammar, Xavier College, Methodist Ladies College and Ruyton Girls School.
