Overview

This remarkable Art Deco residence at 6 Houghton Street captures attention with its iconic curved windows, polychromatic brick chimney, and a striking full-height curved wall that sets it apart architecturally. Its design provides a harmonious blend of historical charm and contemporary updates, offering a unique lifestyle opportunity in Balwyn North.

Built in 1948 and lovingly extended over the years, the home presents six spacious bedrooms arranged over two levels. This flexible layout benefits families seeking room to grow, multi-generational living, or professionals wanting dedicated work-from-home space, with a ground floor bedroom easily adaptable into a study. Upstairs bedrooms impress with built-in wardrobes, ceiling fans, and views that include the city skyline, enhancing daily comfort and aesthetic pleasure.

The home’s formal living and dining spaces, alongside an expansive family room warmed by a cosy gas fireplace, provide excellent areas for both everyday living and entertaining. The well-equipped modern kitchen opens seamlessly into these living zones and extends to a private alfresco garden — a welcome retreat fostering indoor-outdoor flow and year-round enjoyment.

Practical considerations abound with ducted heating, ceiling fans, a security alarm, and a garden irrigation system supporting comfort, safety, and maintenance ease. Parking is well catered for with a single drive-through garage complemented by a rear carport, serving the needs of multiple vehicles.

Beyond the property borders, the location’s appeal is underscored by access to highly sought-after school zones including Balwyn High School and proximity to public transport options servicing the Kew independent schools precinct and the CBD. Nearby parks and recreational spaces further augment the lifestyle benefits, while major road upgrades like the Eastern Freeway and North East Link promise enhanced connectivity across Melbourne.
