Balwyn North 152 Doncaster Road
Elegance from another era...
Architect-designed and in the one family since it was built, this solid-brick 3 bedroom family home in the Balwyn High zone is laden with English-style charm and has as much classic appeal today as when it graced the pages of House & Garden in 1951.
Set deeply into a generous north-facing allotment of more than 700 sq m approx., it is in sound, original condition and comes with the distinct bonus of rear access and sweeping southerly views that may inspire renovation or redevelopment plans (STCA).
Comprising welcoming entry to a smart hall with a cloak cupboard, a spacious formal sitting room with atmospheric inclusions such as colonial-style glazing, a chandelier and an open fireplace complete with fireside shelving and wood storage, an elegant adjoining formal dining room with another chandelier, an original, country-style kitchen with a cosy dining nook, 2 spacious bedrooms with robes share an original terrazzo bathroom with a separate bath. A front bedroom with polished timber floors, access to a front terrace, storage and shelving, is currently used as an additional living room.
The generous rear garden has single garage access, a single carport and large garden shed. In a great location just metres to city and Kew Junction trams and buses, it is close to a choice of schools and parkland, Balwyn or Balwyn North shopping, freeway access and Westfield shopping. Ducted heating, air conditioner, generous off street parking.
Quality, original light fittings throughout Rewarding renovation or redevelopment potential (STCA) Sweeping southerly views to Balwyn Hill Central, convenient, family-friendly address Large, established front and rear gardens

Fletchers Area Guide Balwyn North, VIC 3104
Agency of the Year 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023 (Rate My Agent), Fletchers Balwyn North - Winner Balwyn North is located 10 kilometres east of the Melbourne business district and is also known as North Balwyn. As part of the post-war development plan, Balwyn North is recognised as the first of its kind to be part of suburbia. With large residential homes on generous blocks and few industrial sites Balwyn North was the ideal family suburb. Today it is part of the Government region known as the City of Boroondara.
