36 Illawarra Road, Balwyn North, Vic 3104

Achieving the perfect Balwyn lifestyle merely metres from the gates of locally zoned Balwyn High School, the substantial five bedroom, three bathroom design of this family residence is complemented by a beautiful renovation.

Beyond the romantic clinker brick façade, a medley of timber parquet floors, plush carpets and high ceilings decorate the formal fire-side lounge, the retreat with city glimpses and the warmly inviting open-plan dining and family room. While your friends relax under the alfresco with views across the deep, child-friendly garden, you'll cook effortlessly in the connoisseur's kitchen featuring a stone island, Miele appliances and a Fotile gas stovetop.

Working from home is a joy in the study with French doors out to the alfresco. With two master suites, one on each level featuring a walk-in robe and fully-tiled ensuite with a smart toilet, other luxuries include a powder room, a bathroom with free-standing tub, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, split system air-conditioners and a garage.

Around the corner from Hislop Reserve, Gordon Barnard Reserve and the Boroondara Sports Complex, enjoy the easy walk to Balwyn North Primary School, mouth-watering eateries, the tram to Kew's private schools, and buses to the city, Westfield Doncaster and Box Hill.
