26 Parring Road, Balwyn VIC 3103

This circa 1919 early Californian Bungalow with Japanese touches is being offered for sale for the first time in 66 years. Sitting on an incredible 1,297sqm (approx.) allotment in a prestigious cul-de-sac adjoining Maranoa Botanic Gardens and Beckett Park, the property is also in the coveted Balwyn High School Zone.

Today, this weatherboard home is the last surviving wooden house from that early era and is one of the few single dwellings still on an original large block (50ft x 277ft; 15 x 84m approx.). The others have all been redeveloped.

The understated potential for this block is obvious; a generous 1,297sqm (approx.) flat allotment with an East-West orientation and no easements, the opportunity to redevelop here is enormous. Enriched by exclusive, private access onto Beckett Park and a prestigious cul-de-sac location only steps from Balwyn shopping village and the 109 tram to Box Hill and the city.

This already premiere allotment is enviably situated on one of the highest points in Melbourne, thus a two-storey home should deliver city views. Build a luxurious dream home with ample room for a tennis court and pool, sub-divide or turn the site into a multi-unit / townhouse development (STCA).
The existing four-bedroom home has seen better days, but has had a good life being the central home of a large family as well as hosting many functions and happy times over the years. It is now ready for a new beginning. Will it be yours?
