12 Yongala Street, BalwynVIC

Affluent space and opulent style in the coveted Balwyn High School zone

Encapsulating the grandeur of European architecture and fused with today’s finest finishes, this stunning modern mansion delivers a palatial family lifestyle in the revered Balwyn High School zone. Set across a sprawling floorplan including five bedrooms, a home office, and four-bathrooms, the home nurtures private retreat and vibrant entertaining through three luxurious living domains, plus private alfresco enjoyment.

A stately display of majesty on a tree-lined boulevard, the opulent façade echoes a European elegance, flaunting a cobble-stoned driveway, cast-iron gates, decorative parapets, and ornamental mouldings. Inside, chevron-patterned Oak parquet meanders through the lavish layout, highlighted by stunning pendant lights, plaster beadings, dazzling marble accents, and a sweeping Oak staircase with a cast-iron balustrade.

A glamorous sitting room hosts refined gatherings against a relaxing gas fireplace, complemented by a bespoke walk-in cellar. The home’s heart is an enormous living and dining domain, hosting daily relaxation, lively dinners, and magical celebrations in supreme style. At centre stage, the kitchen is dressed in striking New York marble and two-pack joinery, mingling family and friends across a huge hostess island. Effortlessly catering to the masses, a wide Falcon stove is enriched by an extensive array of Miele appliances, including a second cooktop in the butler’s pantry. Stretching onto a sheltered bluestone patio with a built-in barbecue, the home offers year-round, indoor-outdoor entertaining amid a leafy, secluded garden setting.

Upstairs, a family retreat nurtures sibling interaction and homework, segregating the parental wing from the kids’ domain. The master bedroom is a palatial sanctuary, offering a customised dressing room, a private balcony, and a luxurious ensuite with a sensual soaker tub. Three king-sized bedrooms provide youngsters with space for rest and study, each afforded with fitted robes and ensuite access.

Downstairs, the private guest suite indulges visitors with a fitted robe and a marble-swathed ensuite, while a dedicated home office provides a bespoke fit-out for business. Providing a guest powder room, a large laundry, and an internal-access double garage, this affluent chateau is finished with every luxury for the modern family. Promoting an idyllic lifestyle in a premium family locale, the home is a leisurely walk to Balwyn’s indulgent eateries and shopping, city-bound trams, and verdant parklands, while minutes from elite private schools, the Eastern freeway, and Westfield Doncaster.
