Presenting beautifully understated grandeur, this 1920s gem sits quaintly on a raised block in Balwyn North's tree-laden Riverside Avenue. The stunning façade's linear Art Deco characteristics contrast well with the established front garden and cream accents, softening the home's curbside presence and striking the perfect balance between opulence and congeniality. The interior has a similar feel: grand yet homely. Divided into casual and formal living zones, a bold dark timber kitchen and spacious casual lounge area that open out to a vast backyard via period double doors make for the ideal central hub, while a separate formal lounge and dining area retain the home's sense of history and offer refined living options. The ground floor also has the convenient inclusion of a potential consult room. Situated to the left of the entrance hall, this room, in combination with the large driveway and off-street parking, affords the option of meeting clients at home without having to enter the main living areas. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including a master suite, as well as an impressive rooftop patio with treetop views across Balwyn. Featuring an established outdoor entertaining area with barbeque, there is also ample space for a pool and further lifestyle additions if desired. Double gates from the front of the property leading through to the back, allowing for rear car parking. With five potential bedrooms, an abundance of space, proximity to some of Melbourne's most elite schools, and the Yarra River, it offers a truly unrivalled family lifestyle imbued with history and charm.
