6/1078 Burke Road, Balwyn North, Vic 3104

Eclipsing its peers in style, space and quality, an interior designer-led renovation has transformed this unusually spacious two-bedroom villa into a carefully considered contemporary home. From its two north-facing living areas to a private rear alfresco domain, every element has been meticulously updated with a professional eye for form, function and enduring appeal. Privately positioned at the rear of a beautifully manicured garden group, its high ceilings and broad original windows define elegant single-level spaces in which classic character and refined contemporary design sit effortlessly together.

Engineered timber floors flow through a generous north facing living and dining room to a simply superb open plan kitchen where beautiful custom joinery has been specifically designed to provide effortless day-to-day functionality. Deep drawers, dedicated tray storage, even an appliance cabinet/breakfast bar concealed by clever pocket doors are reflective of the design quality evident in stone benchtops that provide ample preparation space, a Miele cooktop and dishwasher, convenient wall oven and an adjoining laundry, also with excellent storage. The rarity of a second living domain provides exceptional flexibility as a home office, guest bedroom or dining room. Across a wide hallway, two bedrooms form their own zone with an impeccable bathroom featuring a bath, independent shower and separate WC. Both bedrooms feature built-in robes and rear garden views, the main of king sized proportions with extensive built-in robes/storage. At the rear, a private courtyard garden and deck create a peaceful setting for relaxing or entertaining, enhanced by leafy outlooks towards the treetops of nearby parkland.

A comprehensive list of practical upgrades complements the renovation’s considered design, including double glazing throughout, wall and ceiling insulation, split-system heating/cooling and a bathroom featuring large format Italian tiles, premium Astra Walker tapware and underfloor heating. Beautiful bespoke joinery provides excellent storage throughout, while three separate entry points with security doors and upgraded window locks enhance everyday security. Further advantages include a 3.3kW solar system with LG NeON panels and Enphase microinverters, undercover parking with bicycle storage, and a friendly, community-minded group supported by a well-managed owners’ corporation.

Equally appealing to young families, first-home buyers, busy professionals and downsizers, this peaceful yet exceptionally convenient home is just footsteps from Kew High, Stradbroke Park, renowned Boccaccio’s supermarket, local cafés and buses to the CBD and Westfield Doncaster. Hays Paddock, Coles supermarket, Deepdene Primary and High Street trams to Kew Junction are also within walking distance, with Burke and Cotham Road trams, Camberwell Junction, leading private schools and the Eastern Freeway all easily reached.

A rare combination of single level space, designer quality and lifestyle convenience.
