Balwyn North 3 Citron Avenue

In an elevated position with a sought-after postcode this impeccably-maintained, solid brick 45-square (approx) home presents a stellar opportunity for renovation or possible re-development (STCA). Designed by renowned architect Ben Alexander (OAM) in 1965 and built in 1967, the home is flooded with authentic retro style and grand space.

Four robed bedrooms (3 of them are huge) boast parquetry flooring, complemented by the soaring ceilings featured throughout the home, adorned with decorative cornices. In true 1960s glamour, the main bathroom offers separate toilet, shower room and bathroom (European shower) surrounding a dressing/vanity area. An added bonus is an ensuite adjacent to the laundry.

A bright, north-facing family room overlooks the leafy backyard, leading to a sunlit meals area surrounding the kitchen. With a dishwasher and walk-in pantry, the kitchen is in mostly original condition yet there is ample room for extension. The spacious formal lounge/dining room steps onto the terrazzo balcony boasting scenic views through neighbouring trees, even more beautiful at twilight.

Downstairs next to the large garage is a spacious rumpus room with ample storage, ideal for a home business with its separate entry or perhaps a teenage retreat. Some of the stunning retro features include etched glass doors and mirrors, and funky light fittings, plus awnings, shed, ducted heating and a garage with workshop area, which can fit up to 6 cars.

In a spectacular location, walk to Greythorn shopping centre and reserves with nearby buses, schools and freeway access.
