32 Hilda Street, Balwyn

Commanding a distinguished street presence opposite the park, this grand residence is a study in refined craftsmanship and considered luxury. A stately portico entrance sets the tone, leading into a striking foyer where herringbone timber floors, soaring ceilings, and exquisite chandeliers establish a sense of timeless elegance. The formal lounge, framed by park vistas, is anchored by a marble-clad fireplace, creating an intimate retreat. A dedicated media room, complete with a projector and screen, offers an immersive cinema experience, while the expansive open-plan living and dining space is designed for effortless entertaining, bathed in northern light and centred around a second marble fireplace with custom-built cabinetry. The kitchen is a statement in both beauty and function—endless marble surfaces, a Miele gas cooktop, twin ovens, an integrated coffee machine, and a dishwasher are complemented by an expertly designed butler’s pantry with a secondary cooktop and sink. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, expansive glass doors retract to reveal an alfresco entertaining zone, overlooking a meticulously landscaped garden and a sparkling swimming pool. Ascending the sculptural timber staircase, a private retreat leads to the main suite—a sanctuary of indulgence with park views, a Juliette balcony, custom walk-in robes, and a travertine-wrapped ensuite featuring dual vanities and a freestanding clawfoot bath. Two additional ensuite bedrooms provide private accommodations, while two further bedrooms share a sophisticated family bathroom with twin vanities. A rear-facing balcony offers a quiet escape, overlooking the pool and gardens. A thoughtfully designed ground-floor guest suite with a fully tiled ensuite and built-in robes enhances the home’s versatility. Additional features include a home office, a full laundry, a powder room, zoned ducted heating and cooling, a double remote garage, and secure off-street parking. Situated in a sought-after pocket of Balwyn, this exceptional home is mere moments from North Balwyn and Balwyn Villages, trams along Whitehorse Road, and within the coveted Balwyn High School zone—just 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD.
