22 Lucifer Street, BALWYN NORTH

Inspired by exquisite French Provincial architecture and luxuriously appointed, this extraordinary, five bedroom, Balwyn High School-zoned residence sits right on the cusp of the village-like charms of the Boroondara Shopping Centre on Balwyn Road. Perched at the pinnacle of residential excellence, the home is suited to the most discerning of families and forms a wonderful connection to this most exclusive of Balwyn North surrounds. A grand, light-filled entry creates an immediately uplifting visual impact as it highlights rich Oak flooring, striking chandeliers and a showpiece staircase of timber with wrought iron balustrades. Elegantly, the home opens to a fireplace-heated kitchen/dining/living in which a central, stone-topped island provides a family focal point, while a suite of Miele appliances caters to gourmet cooks and a Butler's Pantry helps maintain a sense of clean lines. A vast bank of concertina doors fold back to reveal an outdoor living area that promises joyful alfresco entertaining, while a brilliant window splash back introduces streams of natural light. Each of the bedrooms has been fitted with generous walk-in robe storage - three with their own ensuites and the remaining pair of bedrooms sharing semi-ensuite access to another bathroom. The upstairs master bedroom, in particular, is staggeringly large, whilst the downstairs master/guest room enjoys the luxury of its own outdoor living area. Additional highlights of this well considered home include a formal lounge, huge upstairs rumpus with a built-in desk, a fifth bathroom, central and zoned heating and air conditioning, as well as an internally-accessed double garage. Simply step outside to discover fine cafes and strip shopping at the village on Balwyn Road, whilst High Street is just a couple of minutes away with more cafes, shops, restaurants and city-bound trams that can also connect you to a selection of elite private schools.
