12 Balfour Street, DoncasterVIC

Architecturally envisioned by CJY Architecture, this newly completed four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence with a secure double garage exemplifies the convergence of spatial intelligence, material authenticity, and restrained elegance. Sat on a rare, perfectly level block with an impressive 11.5-metre frontage, it offers a refined architectural response to contemporary family life.
A dramatic six-metre entry void invites an abundance of natural light into the home’s central axis, establishing a sense of vertical release and arrival. Beyond, the interiors unfold in deliberate sequence—anchored by an expansive open-plan living and dining domain that opens to a sun-drenched alfresco terrace and rear garden, while the north-facing façade ensures daylight permeates the home from morning through evening. A tranquil internal courtyard, framed in full-height glazing, serves as a contemplative visual break and draws natural light deep into the heart of the home, enhancing the sense of openness between the living area, kitchen, and guest suite.
At the core lies a sculptural three-and-a-half-metre island, carved from natural Italian Calacatta marble, surrounded by a suite of integrated Miele appliances, twin gas cooktops, integrated fridge and freezer and a Sirius rangehood. A Vintec wine cabinet—widely regarded as a benchmark in climate-controlled wine storage—adds a sommelier-level touch of sophistication. The adjoining butler’s pantry, concealed behind a pivot door, reinforces the home’s commitment to both culinary performance and clean-lined aesthetics.
The flexible layout includes a fully self-contained ground-floor guest suite, while the upper level accommodates three further bedrooms, including a luxurious master retreat with walk-in robe and double vanity ensuite. A secondary lounge and integrated study niches support quiet retreat, collaboration, and multigenerational adaptability.
Volumes are heightened by three-metre ceilings on the ground floor and 2.7 metres above, while Rylock double glazing and zoned commercial-grade Daikin VRV climate control ensure thermal comfort and acoustic insulation. Throughout, bespoke full-height joinery, concealed pivot doors, and premium wool carpeting contribute to a language of refinement and permanence.
Positioned within the sought-after Birralee Primary and Koonung Secondary College zones, and just moments from Westfield Doncaster, the Eastern Freeway, and multiple direct bus routes, this residence offers not merely proximity—but accessto exceptional education, lifestyle amenities, and enduring architectural value.
