The big picture. Have you ever dreamed of a country home, but with an inner-city address? Because this grand, red brick residence certainly looks the part, especially considering it sits on an impressive 1664sqm of lawn, paved courtyard and gardens. Inside, 14ft ceilings and generously sized rooms add to the sense of space and splendour. And speaking of space, two separate living rooms provide a wealth of areas for entertaining or relaxing. The finer details. This stunning residence offers not one, not two, but three working period fireplaces in the two living spaces and one bedroom respectively – so put on the kettle and get cosy. An ornate front veranda is perfect for a quiet glass of wine on warm evenings, while the back courtyard is ideal for larger al fresco gatherings. Finally, a permit to subdivide and possible reconstruction caters to those with a creative vision for this incredible site. The extras. Those looking to stretch their legs beyond the residence's expansive grounds will be delighted to discover parklands and reserves just off either end of the street. And while you may be surrounded by nature, this home still offers Melbourne's inner east at your fingertips. Palace Balwyn Cinema and the cafés, shopping and trams of Whitehorse Road are less than 1km away and Burke Road is just three minutes' drive from home. • Bluestone foundation home • Fourth bedroom can be converted into study • Gardens with fully-grown deciduous and non-deciduous trees • Kitchen with walk-in pantry • Large double garage and workshop at rear of property • Carport and extensive parking space in driveway • Separate laundry • Two bedrooms with built-in robes • Freestanding bath • Air conditioning in several rooms • Permit to subdivide with possible permit to demolish • 14ft ceilings keep residence naturally cool in summer
