Brimming with charm from the outset, the picture-perfect weatherboard facade hints at the character-filled home that lies behind its impeccable exterior. Warm timber lines the floors which complement the home’s original wooden window frames. Many of the home’s original features have been preserved throughout the years including the picture rails, original fireplaces, leadlight windows and ornate plasterwork on the ceilings.

On the right, as you enter the property, lies the home’s formal dining and living room. Connected by large double doors, the living areas offer a free-flowing plan that easily accommodates a crowd when entertaining, or is perfect for relaxing with the family. Along the other side of the property, lies three bedrooms. The middle room is slightly smaller in size, making it the perfect space for a home office. However, its built-in wardrobes would easily make it a bedroom - particularly for a child. The other bedrooms are both large and light-filled, and the master bedroom is included in this at the rear of the property - with garden views, an en suite bathroom, and walk-in wardrobe included.

Sharing a wall with the dining room is the kitchen, which stands at the heart of the home. The kitchen interconnects to the formal dining room and opens out to the home’s informal lounge at the rear of the property. Benefitting from the large glass doors that line the rear wall of the lounge, the kitchen remains light-filled too. Though proportionally smaller than some of the other large rooms in this commodious home, the kitchen is ample and has a well-considered layout that makes cooking a dream.

The informal lounge offers a staircase to the upper level and also opens out onto a gorgeous undercover wooden deck that overlooks a manicured lawn. The excellent indoor-outdoor flow makes this the perfect space to entertain and unwind.

Upstairs lie the home’s remaining three bedrooms. Each is light-filled, incredibly spacious, and feature built-in wardrobes - perfect for storage. Two of the three also boast air conditioning, which is ideal in Melbourne’s hot summer months. The three bedrooms are serviced by a large central bathroom on the second storey.

Additionally, a further lounge lies upstairs and overlooks the front garden, with its beautifully maintained lawn and pristine landscaping. The lounge opens out onto an undercover balcony that has views of the hills beyond, making it the perfect place to watch the sunset from the comfort of your own home, wine glass in hand.

A home of this calibre is rarely seen in Box Hill North, so don’t let this pass you by. Just a stone’s throw from excellent transport links, Bushy Creek Trail and a short walk from Box Hill Central, this house offers homeowners the best of everything right on your doorstep. For those with children, the home is under one and a half kilometres away from Berengarra School, Our Lady of Sion College and Box Hill North Primary School.
