17 Highview Road, BALWYN NORTH VIC 3104

AMAZING PERIOD GEM, in the ZONE! ***BALWYN HIGH ZONE*** This beautiful, 4-bedroom home is a perfect 'find' for those seeking a comfortable family home or as a large ideally designed home for a group of professional singles to share or others just looking for something rather different, a bit special & even a little 'funky'. Set on a corner block, this 2-storey, architect designed home with three double bedrooms, a sectioned bathroom & huge open plan living/dining downstairs plus another huge living/rumpus area upstairs along with another double bedroom with ensuite.

The house is positioned within the BALWYN HIGH ZONE, a stone's throw to Belle Vue Primary School and close to local shops, Koonung Creek Reserve, transport and freeway access. With a passive solar design through wide eaves, wall of north facing glass and clever highlight windows, the house is light and bright throughout. The downstairs floorplan takes in a huge, open-plan living and dining area with gas heating, a very functional kitchen with generous size meals area and a wing comprising three excellent bedrooms - all with built-in robes and sharing a sectioned bathroom with separate toilet, separate shower and separate bathroom.
