This 1950's clinker brick home is quietly nestled within a peaceful, tree-lined street in a tightly held Box Hill North pocket. Elevated high on the street, the home showcases enduring character, generous proportions and outstanding scope for transformation.
Beyond the entry, original timber panelling sets a warm, character-rich tone, leading through to an expansive living room anchored by a decorative inbuilt mantelpiece. Bathed in natural light and enjoying leafy outlooks to the outdoors, this space is further enhanced by extensive built in cabinetry, highlighting the home's solid bones and original craftmanship. The flexible three-to-four-bedroom layout continues with a country-style kitchen featuring a butcher's block in the bench, gas cooking, a central bathroom and separate laundry. Adding outstanding versatility, a self-contained rear wing provides independent accommodation, complete with its own bedroom, bathroom, separate toilet and kitchenette, ideal for extended family living, teenagers or private retreat.
Outdoors, a vast backyard offers abundant room for children to roam, entertaining or future enhancement, while a tradesman's garage with workshop delivers exceptional practicality. Zoned for the sought-after Koonung Secondary College and Box Hill North Primary School, and moments from parklands, Hagenauer Reserve athletics track, a walk to Box Hill Central, Box Hill Train Station and Box Hill Hospital, as well as fine eateries and cafes, the location completes an offering of rare appeal.
Whether you choose to renovate and restore to its former glory or capitalise on the substantial 700sqm land to build a new family friendly residence (STCA), this is a compelling opportunity in an established, family-friendly setting. Land 700m2 approx.
