Set behind a picturesque v facade in a highly sought-after family setting, this charming 1930s brick residence conveys an appealing combination of rich period character, updated modern function and exciting long-term potential on a generous 623sqm (approx.). Ideally configured for immediate, low-maintenance living, its light-filled interiors retain their high decorative ceilings, elegant leadlight detailing and enchanting original character in extended proportions that provide a wonderfully comfortable family environment surrounded by leading schools, Box Hill and Balwyn shopping, trams, trains and popular parkland.

A spacious front living room promises elegant living or entertaining with its original brick fireplace and diamond leadlight storage taking centre stage in a free-flowing arrangement with adjoining north-facing dining and open plan family areas that feature extensive built-in storage. Here, a fully equipped granite kitchen with café window provides easy modern functionality, while sliding glass doors step out to undercover alfresco areas and secure garden spaces that include a separate laundry with third WC and storage shed.
