Balwyn North 189 Doncaster Road
As Time Goes By
Fronted by a brick paved driveway, amongst lush established gardens, this grand 4 bedroom solid brick family home was a statement of style when built in 1939. Most of the original features are still in place and it is certainly in well maintained condition, but nevertheless ready for modernisation to take it through its next 70 years.
The comfortable lounge room, separate formal dining room and a further cosy sitting room provide more than generous living spaces for a growing family, and if that isn't enough, the staircase with its iconic wrought iron balustrade leads upstairs to a huge family/rumpus room with tree top views, and where, if you have a receptive imagination, you just might hear the strains of music played in this room by musicians of the past.
Featuring 3 robed bedrooms upstairs, serviced by a striking black and pink bathroom, with a 4th bedroom downstairs, also powder room and laundry. The kitchen/meals area overlooks the rear garden and alfresco space and added features include ducted heating, air-conditioners, double carport, garage and rear deck.
In the Balwyn High School Zone with bus and tram at the front door and a short walk to Balwyn North and St Bede's Primary Schools and the North Balwyn Village.
