3 Walker Street
Balwyn

With its regal 1940s heritage sensitively restored and enhanced by an upstairs extension and an open-plan renovation, this character-filled red brick English-style residence flows joyfully through an open-plan rear to poolside alfresco living and dining where all your alfresco entertainers' aspirations will be met in style. Cast on an enviable plot of 663sqm (approx.), with four bedrooms and a potential open study upstairs, the home offers a refined sense of family grandeur, in a coveted Balwyn High School-zoned setting.

Crowned by soaring ceilings and polished hardwood under foot, a central hallway leads past formal dining and a lounge - each with fireplaces - to a gourmet kitchen arranged around an island of granite with a SMEG oven/cooktop and concertina doors that fold back to create an alfresco entertainers' paradise. Undercover and with outdoor heating, the deck is suited to year-round enjoyment whilst overlooking an inviting in-ground swimming pool.

Parents can enjoy the privacy of a downstairs master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robes, while a kids zone, upstairs sees a trio of bedrooms - each with built-in robes - set adjacent to an open living area/retreat and a family bathroom with separate WC. The classical charms of the home are further enhanced by ducted heating and reverse cycle air conditioning, an additional split system, ducted vacuum, a powder room and driveway parking for two vehicles.

Embrace all the trappings of a premium position in the zone, just a short stroll from Whitehorse Road where the cafe scene, dining options, shopping, cinemas and trams are set to delight, plus you can enjoy the benefits of easy proximity to an impressive selection of elite private schools.
