5 Simmons Street presents a post-war family home set on a prime corner allotment in a tightly held Box Hill North pocket, offering flexibility, character, and strong long-term value. With landscaped gardens, a fully self-contained bungalow, and a central location close to schools and amenities, the property is ideally suited to families, multi-generational living, or investors—with outstanding potential for high rental income thanks to its dual-living configuration.
Framed by privacy fencing and mature gardens featuring Japanese maples and Silver Birch, the home feels private and well connected to its surroundings. Inside, the original character of the home is retained through polished floorboards, ornate cornicing, and a formal living room positioned at the front of the home. A cleverly positioned study with a classic corner window provides an ideal work-from-home space.
Modern comforts have been thoughtfully introduced, including ducted heating and cooling, a modernized bathroom with rain shower, updated laundry with WC, and plush carpeting in the bedrooms. Accommodation within the main residence includes well-proportioned bedrooms with excellent natural light and flexible layout options to suit family living.
The rear of the home opens into a welcoming open-plan family and dining zone, creating a natural hub for everyday living. The kitchen overlooks this space and features a freestanding cooker, sunny skylight, and spacious butler’s pantry. Indoor–outdoor flow is enhanced by direct access to both covered and uncovered timber decks, providing versatile entertaining zones throughout the year.
A standout feature of the property is the fully self-contained bungalow, offering exceptional flexibility and reinforcing the home’s strong potential for high rental income. With French doors opening to its own private courtyard, the bungalow includes a large bedroom/living area, clever kitchenette, modern bathroom, and private driveway access. Ideal for extended family, guests, or independent leasing, this versatile space presents an outstanding opportunity to generate consistent additional income or support a dual-living arrangement.
Positioned within walking distance of Box Hill Hospital and close to Box Hill North Primary School and Koonung Secondary College, the home also enjoys easy access to Box Hill Central, public transport, Westfield Doncaster, and major arterial connections via the Eastern Freeway and EastLink. This central yet peaceful setting completes a well-rounded offering combining character, flexibility, and location.
