Balwyn 2 Barnsbury Road

Enter the grounds of this exemplary property on the 'Golden Mile' and you return to the Roaring Twenties age of trophies of African Safaris and extravagant entertaining with nothing spared except thrift.

Now ready for some new energy, this magical circa 1920 double storey 5 bedroom residence turns away from the street and faces north overlooking large grounds with sunny gardens and a heated pool. It features decorative plaster work, bevelled glass, open fireplaces, a timber panelled Baronial hall, a generously proportioned living room and grand adjoining music or drawing room opening to the garden and perfect for entertaining. On the other side of the hall, the dining room (also timber panelled) adjoins the updated timber kitchen with a chef's Eurolec stove and ample storage; it opens to a large meals area-family room and the garden. The study/5th bedroom is downstairs next to a bathroom. A marvellous staircase ascends to the 4 upstairs bedrooms, all with built-in robes. The main bedroom includes a retreat/6th bedroom, and the magnificent marble bathroom is a grand feature. A splendid upstairs sunroom with walls of glass on 3 sides views the pool, gardens and distant hills.

This fabulous property is ready to enjoy another generation's energy and imagination to revitalize its future in a privileged position close to Camberwell Grammar (boys and girls), Burke and Whitehorse road's trams, and local shops.
