** Pool Maintenance and garden maintenance included** Embrace the rich romance of the timeless double brick façade and elegant portico which announce the enchanting interiors of this substantial four bedroom plus study residence. Celebrating a high-set position overlooking a spectacularly manicured botanic garden as well as one of Canterbury’s most renowned tree-lined boulevards, a broad entry foyer with high ceilings and alluring timber floorboards is a refined introduction. These views are at their finest from the idyllic balcony that flows into the formal fire-side lounge room and charming dining room. In contrast, the enormous open-plan meals/family room sits alongside, where natural light from a central courtyard and a separate alfresco with auto louvered roof reflects effortlessly throughout. At the rear, a massive rumpus room with wet bar spills out via French doors to sun-kissed decking which surrounds the pool. The connoisseur’s kitchen is an expansive centrepiece, ready to host the largest of parties. Featuring a walk-in pantry and two AEG ovens, the vast stone surfaces will make catering very easy. With three bathrooms and powder room, there’s a dual-vanity ensuite and gorgeous dressing room off the master bedroom. In addition, the central heating/air-conditioning and split system air-conditioners. Within metres of Maling Road Village cafes and the train station, live close to Balwyn Village and elite schools including Fintona Girls’ School, Camberwell Grammar and Camberwell Girls’ Grammar.
