4 Salisbury Street
Balwyn

A landmark family offering in one of the Reid Estate’s most coveted and tightly-held, treelined streets, this circa 1930s, solid brick classic is a bold celebration of light and proportion, architecturally renovated and extended to merge its original Art Deco character with a more contemporary, open and airy, alfresco style of living. Offered for the first time in 33 years, the home features a flexible four-to-five bedroom design that culminates in tranquil poolside living, all in an esteemed location that is zoned for both Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls Secondary College.

Introduced by a light-filled, double-height entrance void, the home creates a dramatic sense of occasion before flowing – with exquisite limestone under foot – past a traditional lounge / dining room to its open-plan rear. Anchored by a state-of-the-art, Caesar stone-topped kitchen where a suite of Miele appliances – including a steam oven, a warming drawer, gas and induction cooking – is complemented by a Butler’s Pantry and a Liebherr wine fridge, the informal meals / living area extends outdoors delightfully to a garden-surrounded deck where the worries of the world simply wash away. Also overlooking a heated in-ground swimming pool and BBQ area, this is a blissful entertainers’ oasis.

The bedrooms are each generously sized in the style of period architecture and appointed with expansive walk-though or built-in robes – the main bedroom also with a fully-tiled and renovated ensuite - whilst formal dining downstairs, could readily be repurposed as a fifth bedroom if required. Further highlights include a double lock-up garage, a wine cellar, under-house storage and a gas-converted fireplace in the lounge / dining. There is also Villeroy and Boch tapware in the renovated bathrooms and kitchen, saltwater chlorination and roof top Solar heating for the swimming pool and ducted heating throughout the home.

Walk easily to the cafes, dining, shopping, cinemas and city-bound trams of Whitehorse Road, as well as Burke Road trams or the nearby train stations for easy connection to a selection of fine primary schools, whilst both Kew and Camberwell Junctions are each just a few minutes away.
