18 Birdwood Street, Balwyn, Vic 3103

Situated in a quiet, family-friendly pocket of Balwyn between Belmore and Whitehorse Roads, this elegant, luxuriously appointed architect-designed residence is introduced by an instantly appealing rendered and Daniel Robertson half-brick façade, complemented by a low-maintenance garden lined with box hedges and standard roses.

Impeccably maintained, the home offers a stylish, light-filled interior and a rare opportunity to downsize without compromise or enjoy an exceptional family lifestyle. Designed for family living, the generously scaled two-level layout offers exceptional space throughout, featuring high ceilings, herringbone parquetry flooring, and the valuable addition of a second living zone. Three large bedrooms include a front main bedroom with a walk-in robe and dual-shower ensuite, while a shared family bathroom, fitted study/home office or fifth bedroom, generous formal sitting and dining room, powder room and laundry complete the ground floor. Upstairs, a large rumpus room accompanies a guest bedroom with an ensuite.

A stunning, open plan family domain incorporates expansive living and dining spaces and a gourmet kitchen appointed with Caesarstone benchtops, a wide island bench, filtered water tap, walk-in pantry and prestige Artusi, Miele and Ilve appliances. Overlooking the outdoor entertaining area, the living domain opens to a paved natural stone travertine terrace and covered dining area with a stainless-steel barbecue.

Comprehensive appointments include an alarm, intercom, hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, OFPs in the study (decorative) and sitting room, fully tiled bathrooms, integrated Bose sound system, ample internal storage, remote exterior awnings, sprinkler system, remote gates and a remote double garage with storage, rear access and secure internal access.

This superb residence is further enhanced by its ultra-convenient position in a tree-lined street, moments from the popular Boccaccio Cellars, Burke Road and the Harp shopping precinct, with its restaurants and cafés. Stradbroke, Myrtle and Macleay parks, together with the Outer Circle bike and walking tracks, provide excellent recreational options. Proximity to an array of prestigious private and public schools, transport along Burke and Belmore Roads, and convenient CBD access via the Eastern Freeway further underpin its outstanding lifestyle appeal.
