Turn the page of local history to one of the early homes built in this area. Constructed by the dairy owner who serviced the rural properties of North Balwyn, this brick residence was built c1930s overlooking the tranquil Koonung Creek Valley where cattle grazed and the freeway now runs.

This exceptional residence in the Riverside Estate has housed 4 generations of its next family over the past 70 years, and while retaining its superb period features, has been extended to cater for modern family living. This combination of the traditional and the contemporary is presented in immaculate condition surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and alfresco entertaining spaces.

The original front section of the home is all double brick and comprises an elegant formal lounge and separate dining room, spacious main bedroom, entry hall, study, second bedroom and refurbished bathroom, enhanced by traditional high ceilings, cornices, light fittings, custom joinery and cabinetry, and leadlight windows.

The stylish contemporary kitchen opens onto a vast family living area flooded with natural light, looking out over the lush private garden and inviting rear verandah, and another bedroom, fitted laundry and second bathroom.
