Showcasing elegant period character in a coveted central location, this c.1929 residence retains an array of original details enhanced by quality contemporary renovations and a striking rear extension. Flooded with natural light and capturing enchanting garden views throughout, 'Tivendale' presents a refined family lifestyle with abundant space for entertaining and harmonious family living.
Framed by landscaped gardens with manicured roses and a classic picket fence, the home is set just a short stroll from buses and Box Hill City Oval, and within easy walking distance of Box Hill High School, Laburnum Station, Our Lady of Sion College, Kerrimuir shops, and Whitehorse Road trams. Zoned for Kerrimuir Primary School, the location is also mere moments from Box Hill Central, Box Hill Hospital, Blackburn Square Shopping Centre, and the Eastern Freeway.
Impeccably presented throughout with elegant elevated styling, the home features diamond-lattice windows and lofty ceilings with ornamental timber panelling and picture rails.
At the entry, a graceful formal living room with a picturesque curved bay window is positioned alongside a separate formal dining room, with each space centred around a cosy open fireplace.
At the rear, an expansive living and dining space is crowned by a soaring double-height ceiling, with magnificent oversized glazing capturing a scenic garden outlook towards an ornamental Crepe Myrtle and fish pond.
Sliding doors extend to an undercover timber deck with heating panels, creating an enticing setting for relaxed alfresco entertaining and year-round outdoor family living. The deck overlooks a securely fenced backyard with plenty of lawn for pets and children, framed by low-maintenance landscaped gardens.
At the heart of the home, a spacious modern kitchen features thick stone benchtops, a breakfast bar for casual meals, an island preparation bench, extensive storage with a concealed appliance cabinet, a fully integrated German-made Miele dishwasher, a St George electric wall oven and grill, and a Highland gas cooktop.
