Balwyn North 161 Bulleen Road

"Sold by Jeremy Desmier of Fletchers." Directly opposite Bellevue Primary School and just metres from shops, restaurants and freeway access, this spacious family home is an idyllic entertainer, with a self-contained studio/flat in the backyard.

Offered for the first time in 28 years, the home has been extensively renovated and extended and has the financial benefit of solar electricity. The carpeted formal lounge and dining rooms with decorative cornices retain their original elegance, extending to a large well-appointed kitchen with St George appliances and a dishwasher. Overlooked by the kitchen, a tiled living area offers informal entertaining space and access to the rear deck and the private easy-care entertaining courtyard.

Three generous bedrooms with built-in wardrobes share 2 spa bathrooms - the master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and deluxe ensuite featuring twin basins, shower, toilet and an impressive atrium surrounding a luxurious oval spa bath. Adjoining the garage is a self-contained studio apartment with a bright living/bedroom, gas-appointed kitchen, spacious ensuite bathroom and a split system, which may serve as a home office or accommodation for teenagers, guests and relatives.

Cleverly positioned skylights and windows create a bright atmosphere throughout the home and further highlights include: ducted heating, evaporative cooling, air-conditioners and ceiling fans, security alarm, attic storage, a double garage with a remote door and ample off-street parking. The allotment of 703 sq m approximately may entice developers who wish to capitalise on the convenient location (subject to council approval).

Close to the Koonung Creek Trail, instant freeway access offers a quick commute to the city via car or bus, as well as Westfield Doncaster.
