32 Nungerner Street, Balwyn

A picture of period elegance brought into the modern day, this thoroughly reimagined five-bedroom residence offers refined comfort, supreme quality, and a wealth of space for a family to enjoy. Shrouded by the foliage of a premier Balwyn street, a manicured front yard and charismatic façade prove charming precursors for inspired spaces to come. Providing all the room and versatility a family could ever ask for, four substantial bedrooms all boast their own walk-in robe and ensuite, with a quiet home office doubling as a fifth bedroom. With open wood fires making for cosy winter nights, vast front sitting and dining areas complement a brilliant entertainer’s suite at rear, afforded a calm, airy ambiance by leafy sights and natural light. Oversized stacker glass makes indoor-outdoor movement completely seamless, revealing a covered alfresco ideal for hospitality with its bar heaters, ceiling fan, and top-of-the-range barbecue kitchen including a sink and commercial under bench refrigeration. Tall, sculpted hedges ensure total privacy in a sun-soaked backyard, with a kids’ play area neighbouring a solar-heated pool/spa and garage/gym with its own bathroom to lift appeal beyond compare. The most passionate cook is certain to feel at home in Miele, Ilve, and Fisher & Paykel-equipped main and butler’s kitchens, combining to feature 900mm induction and gas cooktops, three ovens, two dishwashers, and an integrated fridge/freezer. With every facet considered, optimised, and made perfect for family life, highlights include a 2000-bottle wine cellar, expansive upstairs retreat, comprehensive heating/cooling, three-phase power, a powder room/sixth WC, automated blinds, skylights with solar blinds, solid spotted gum floors, camera security, a storage/communications room, Vintec wine fridge, laundry with chute, ornate details furthering period charm, and covered parking for five cars behind electric gates.
