3 Balham Ave, Kingswood is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 6 parking spaces and was built in 1920. The property has a land size of 941m2 and floor size of 146m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last transferred in October 2021.
If there's one thing better than a C1920 sandstone bungalow, it's the one with just shy of 1000sqm at its feet, the scope to extend and make your own mark within, and an enviable position in the leafy, near-city suburb that is tightly-held Kingswood.
Take note of the wide frontage first, a sure-fire sign this 3-4-bedroom home will serve big spaces drenched in natural light, shining a spot on its soaring decorative ceilings, fireplaces, colourful leadlight, polished timber floors and prominent timber work.
The original home serves three bedrooms - including a master with its own ensuite - formal lounge and dining rooms, and an eat-in kitchen with dishwasher, loads of storage and the space to dance a waltz with reckless abandon.
Along the way, the footprint of this robust home was extended to include a rear family room and home office/nursery/4th bedroom, ensuring this is every bit a move-in ready home for a growing family with those local schools and colleges in its sights.
Wait until you see this backyard, a boundless reminder that a more contemporary extension - and perhaps a pool - is written in the tea leaves, rather than an afterthought.
And if you think it can't get much better, the huge insulated rear garage - with mezzanine, high-end shelving, power, and the floor space for up to six cars - comes along to put the cherry atop a home that calls on the city in under 10 minutes, all just a walk from Mitcham Square. It's the one.
