With the tranquil expanses of Maranoa Botanic Gardens and Beckett Park at the end of its leafy cul-de-sac, this private, sunlit retreat weaves modern comforts and turnkey simplicity into the beloved Balwyn lifestyle.

Set well-back from its prestige street to enjoy peaceful seclusion from the nearby bustle, a tastefully updated interior cleverly distinguishes first-rate accommodation from open entertaining areas. With robes in each, two broad bedrooms are served by a stylish bathroom with twin vanities, a walk-in rain shower, and separate WC, while a substantial main living/dining area provides ample room for hosting, unwinding, and working from the comfort of home. Certain to impress the passionate cook, a gourmet kitchen features a Westinghouse oven, Haier dishwasher, and induction cooktop, while a wrap-around courtyard proves a sublime space to socialise among greenery.

Enjoyable from the outset, highlights include reverse-cycle heating and cooling, premium carpets, durable floorboards, a full-size laundry, lock-up garage, and zoning for respected Chatham Primary and Balwyn High School. In the heart Boroondara’s elite private school belt with Camberwell Grammar and Girls’ Grammar, Fintona, and Strathcona all just moments away, it’s mere footsteps to local village cafés, restaurants, and shopping options, Doncaster and Camberwell-bound buses, and trams for quick access to bustling Box Hill, while CBD commutes are a breeze courtesy of the Eastern Freeway.
