12 Kyora Parade, Balwyn North, Vic 3104

Offered for the first time in more than half a century, in a tightly-held Riverside Estate position, this iconically retro family residence began life as a 1940s clinker brick classic before embracing an inspired 1970s transformation that remains wonderfully authentic today. Set on an elevated allotment of 836 square metres (approx.) with a non contributory heritage overlay, the home offers four to five bedrooms, four bathrooms, lofty light-filled family proportions and the opportunity for genuinely independent multigenerational living, renovation or extension (STCA) in one of Melbourne’s more esteemed family locales.

Rich in character and filled with warmth, the home opens to reveal polished hardwood flooring complemented by retro timber panelling and etched glass internal doors, as a European-equipped kitchen / meals flows through formal dining to an old school lounge room that is northern light filled and serviced by a built-in bar. Offering remarkable flexibility the home presents four bedrooms upstairs, including a main bedroom with walk-in robes and an ensuite, plus an optional large and more accessible downstairs bedroom (with access to an ambulant bathroom), or alternatively a second living area. There is also an independently accessed studio with ensuite and kitchenette that caters to teenage children, home office needs or rumpus requirements.

Also offering a double lock-up garage with a large workshop space, as well as a sunroom, laundry, indoor and outdoor powder rooms and an expansive paved outdoor entertaining that overlooks a sweeping lawn and established lemon tree, the home presents plenty of room for both present and future.

Zoned for both Kew High School and Belle Vue Primary School, the home is exclusively situated within easy reach of elite private schools, as well as the village shops and cafes of Belle Vue, plus you have endless Yarra parkland, High Street shopping, trams, city-bound buses and easy access to the Eastern Freeway.
