Traditional elegance and luxurious contemporary ease form a compelling combination for families of every age and stage in this simply magnificent, "modern heritage" residence. Honouring the area's architectural past while providing thoroughly modern accommodation, a period-inspired façade and classic interior detailing add grace and refinement to substantial five bedroom plus study proportions just minutes from prestigious schools. Multiple living zones provide easy family flexibility, complemented by undercover indoor/outdoor entertaining zones and a mature landscaped garden featuring a dedicated fire pit/ conversation zone. Five bedrooms are served by three designer bathrooms in a floorplan ideal for multi-generational families with a sumptuous ground floor main bedroom suite, two additional ground floor bedrooms and two further bedrooms positioned upstairs with a retreat and family bathroom.
A wide central hallway with premium timber floors leads past an executive office/living with a period-style open fireplace, bay window and adjoining powder room to the lavish main bedroom, a private parents' retreat with bay window sitting/study, fully fitted walk-in robe and double ensuite. In their own zone, two bedrooms with excellent built-in robes share a central bathroom with bath and independent shower, while at the rear, separately zoned open plan living areas include a gas fireplace and a substantial stone entertainers' kitchen with extensive drawer storage, quality appliances, walk-in pantry and central island. Framed by expansive triple sliding glass doors, the interiors flow effortlessly to an undercover entertaining domain, surrounded by the lush, landscaped garden with fire pit. Upstairs, a light-filled retreat services two further bedrooms, each complete with walk in/ built-in robes, tall-boy storage, seating and desks, alongside a third bathroom with double vanity.
On an impressive 688sqm parcel (approx.), comprehensive appointments include a family-sized laundry with ample storage and the added convenience of a laundry chute, zoned ducted heating/ cooling, bedroom ceiling fans, extensive built-in storage, timber fretwork, high ceilings and skirting boards, picture rails and leadlight windows, hardwood timber floors, water tanks, garden irrigation, secure pedestrian entry and an internally accessed remote double garage with storage and rear roller to additional parking plus front driveway parking.
From this peaceful position, children can walk to Union Station or catch the #109 Whitehorse Road tram for a convenient commute to Melbourne's elite private schools, while Elgar Road buses provide easy access to the highly regarded Kingswood College and Koonung Secondary College. Also within walking distance are Box Hill Hospital, Box Hill Central, Box Hill TAFE, Aqualink Box Hill and Kingsley Gardens, while Mont Albert Primary School, the shopping and dining precincts of Balwyn, Westfield Doncaster and the Eastern Freeway are all just moments away.
