19 Bon Vue Rd, Balwyn North VIC 3104

A lawned front garden with established shrubs and a white lamp post leads to the covered porch, where the entry door holds textured panels and opens to a hall of board flooring. Timber architraves, skirtings and joinery run through the ground floor, and chandelier-style fittings hang above the principal rooms. Timber sliding doors, glazed in textured panels, close the formal living room off from the hall when required; inside, a wide window looks over the front garden, split-system air conditioning sits above, and an arch opens through to the formal dining room alongside.

The rear of the plan is given to informal living. The kitchen wraps in timber cabinetry beneath a tiled splashback bordered with floral feature tiles, a peninsula bench, double sink under a window to the garden, all supported by a dishwasher, cooktop, wall-mounted double oven, rangehood and pantry. It looks across the meals area and through to a family room lined in painted brick, both opening by sliding doors to a raised tiled terrace. Elevated above the lawn behind a painted balustrade, the terrace steps down to a north-facing rear garden of edged beds, flowering ornamental trees, paved paths and timber paling fences.

Practical spaces are well distributed. A study sits immediately off the entry, with a powder room, a laundry with washer and dryer provision and its own external door, three linen cupboards and storage beneath the stairs. The double garage is entered from the paved driveway, which continues as a path along the side of the home to the rear garden. Beneath the house, further storage is tucked away.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are carpeted. The main bedroom is served by a walk-in robe and an ensuite with shower, timber vanity, mirrored cabinet and WC. Three further bedrooms have built-in robes, and two of them look north over the rear garden to a long outlook across rooftops and treetops. The family bathroom pairs a bath with a separate shower, timber vanity, tiled floor and tiled splash back, with a separate WC and a linen cupboard adjacent. On the landing, a study nook sits beside a void over the stairwell and opens through to the front balcony.

THE LOCATION

Bon Vue Road is a quiet residential street on the elevated northern side of Balwyn North, close to everything without carrying any of the through traffic. A small strip of shops sits within easy walking distance on Bulleen Road, good for a coffee, a meal out or the everyday errand, while the Doncaster Road retail centres cover the weekly shop and Westfield Doncaster delivers the full department store, cinema and dining offering a short drive east.

Getting around is straightforward. Trams run along Doncaster Road, freeway bus services stop nearby on the Eastern Freeway, and the freeway entry at Bulleen Road puts the city and the eastern suburbs within comfortable reach by car.

For families, the address is zoned for Belle Vue Primary School and Balwyn High School, both within easy reach. Marcellin College sits just across the creek, with Camberwell Grammar School, Carey Baptist Grammar School, Genazzano FCJ College and Ruyton Girls' School among the independent options in the wider area.
