16 Howard Street, Box Hill, Vic 3128

Step straight into a page from an interior or garden design magazine when you enter this truly inspiring circa 1890s residence. Loved and lived in for over 30 years, this double-brick home is pure delight. Greeted at the front gate by a bullnose verandah and palms carefully planted out for you to enjoy the privacy, relish the mix of old world charm and modern living.

Open the ornate front door with leadlight windows to a majestic hallway complete with period arches, leading you past 2 bedrooms; the main with an open fireplace. An inviting lounge room with its own large open fireplace is the perfect spot on a winters evening, accompanied by a dining room. Move through to embrace the wonderful kitchen with stainless steel oven, walk-in pantry and meals area that overlooks, through French bi-fold doors, an alfresco area that can only be described by incredible, and home to an 18 seat table setting surrounded by exceptionally designed gardens.

Paved pathways take you through this magical place where you will find a fully self-contained bungalow; ideal as a guests retreat, teenage hideaway or home office. There are also 2 garden sheds positioned amongst the plants, including nectarine trees, a huge crab apple tree providing shade on a hot summer's day, lavender, rosemary and a plethora of stunning flora.

Add to this magnificent terracotta tiling floors with feature mosaic inserts, 12ft ceilings, decorative cornices, picture rails, ceiling roses and double-hung sash windows, European laundry, attic storage, gas heating, sensational insulation and plenty of off-street parking.
