25 Riverview Road

The welcoming warmth of this immaculate, c1925 period residence would be a delight to come home to. In the sought-after surrounds of the Balwyn High School Zone, the home seamlessly transitions from pristine period features at the front to stylish lifestyle convenience at the rear, with work from home possibilities an additional bonus. The formal living room, separate dining room (or study), entrance hall and main bedroom showcase original period features in proudly maintained condition. Superb timber joinery and detailing, lead lighting, decorative cornices and ceilings are complemented by contemporary timber flooring and the addition of a chic main bedroom ensuite. Two further bedrooms are serviced by the stylishly modern main bathroom and separate powder room. The northern orientation of the generous kitchen/family/meals space draws natural light into its open floorplan. A private and protected alfresco deck sets an idyllic scene for both everyday dining and special occasion entertaining. The as-new kitchen combines elegant presentation with quality appliances including induction cooktop and compatible rangehood, capacious cabinetry options, and stone benches and splashbacks. The reimagined garage now serves as a work from home office complete with powder room and kitchenette, that could easily find an alternate calling as a teen retreat or party space. Balwyn High, Balwyn North Primary, St Bede’s Primary, North Balwyn Village, parks and sporting reserves are within easy walking distance, with the CBD bus and tram servicing the Kew private schools’ precinct.
