527 Punt Road, South Yarra

(known as 2 Pasley Street South) In this prized precinct, just metres from Fawkner Park, Balliol is a solid brick Victorian villa which offers a myriad of opportunities for families, downsizers and renovators to update, extend or personalize (STCA). Set on 544 sqm (approx.) the single level residence’s generous proportions and charming period details provide the perfect balance of character, potential and lifestyle. Behind a high fence and separate driveway entrance from Pasley Street South, this surprisingly quiet and extremely livable home is framed by established gardens that evoke a sense of romantic charm and abundance. Showcasing a classic Victorian design, the leadlight entrance opens to a wide central arched hallway which flows through to the light-filled family living and meals area complemented by a country style kitchen with stainless steel appliances and excellent storage. The spacious formal living room with a black marble mantelpiece and the main bedroom have front garden vistas. The flexible floorplan allows for a variety of uses from the formal dining room through to additional bedrooms served by a central bathroom. The kitchen and informal dining and living area, with a bathroom nearby, step out to the generous back garden with off-street parking for two cars. Additional features include ducted heating, security system, plantation shutters, Euro laundry, auto driveway gates, garden shed and studio. Walking distance to elite schools, South Yarra Station, trams, Toorak Road shops, cafes, the Royal Botanic Gardens and Prahran Market, this home represents an extraordinary opportunity in this tightly held area.
