Full of period charm, this classic single-level weatherboard pairs lasting character with a flexible five-bedroom layout, set behind a white picket fence and an established front garden. Its residential setting puts leafy parkland, everyday shopping and city-bound transport within easy reach, balancing a relaxed lifestyle with convenience.
A red brick path leads to the covered front porch, and the home opens into a bright entrance hall framed by an ornate fretwork arch. Timber floorboards run through much of the home, while leadlight glass and picture rails carry its heritage character from room to room.
The main bedroom feels like a retreat, with a period fireplace and timber mantel, a built-in wardrobe, split-system air conditioning and a private ensuite. Two more well-proportioned bedrooms each have built-in robes towards the front of the home. They share a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower, and a separate laundry sits adjacent.
Towards the rear, the dining area flows into a kitchen with a gas cooktop, canopy rangehood, oven, dishwasher and pantry, plus a peninsula bench with breakfast bar, that gives extra room for preparing meals. Next to it, a family room with split-system air conditioning offers a second, more relaxed living space. A fourth bedroom and a rear bedroom - or study - with a built-in robe, add flexibility for a home office, sleeping guests or a growing household.
Outdoors, a timber deck steps down to a private, fenced backyard shaded by an established tree, an easy setting for outdoor dining or quiet weekends. A garage at the rear is reached via the common driveway.
The location is a standout. Box Hill Gardens is a short walk away, and Box Hill Central is close by for everyday shopping, with Box Hill Station below it for an easy commute to the city. The busy dining strip along Station Street and Whitehorse Road is nearby, along with Box Hill Hospital, Box Hill Institute and green spaces such as Springfield Park and Hagenauer Reserve.
Families will like being zoned for Kerrimuir Primary School and Box Hill High School, with Box Hill North Primary School and Koonung Secondary College also close by. With period character, versatile rooms and a position near Box Hill’s thriving centre, this is an appealing opportunity for families and investors alike.
