30 Merton Street, Box Hill, Vic 3128

Wonderfully set on a nature-inspired allotment, this practical home awaits the modern family. Filled with the charm of a bygone era, enhanced with the presence of contemporary appointments and nestled amongst tranquil surrounds, it is still only moments away from Box Hill's bustling hub. Every day begins with the calming melody of native birdlife playing their tunes from the treetops that surround this magnificent property. Mature gardens not only envelop the home in privacy but paint the home in a portrait of perfection.

Inside, the warm and inviting home is equally alluring, where its two spacious living areas are filled with natural light and exude charm and warmth via its timeless character infused with a modern touch. Formal lounge and dining provide elegant retreats for formal gatherings, with the presence of a gas log fireplace and a pleasant front garden aspect making for an enticing escape when a break from the daily grind is required. Open-plan living stands proud at the heart of the home, characterised by its radiant nature, large kitchen (feature island bench, stone benchtops, easy-to-clean splashback and quality stainless steel appliances) and indoor-outdoor options.

Slide open the glass doors to allow the fresh breeze to waft through the home, then venture onto the elevated deck, which is ideal for entertaining or sipping cocktails at sunset. Bedrooms are of generous proportions, and in the case of the Master bedroom, it's styled with a modern ensuite with semi-frameless shower. In an added treat for green thumbs, an organic garden plus a 20,000-litre water tank is sure to please, so too the collection of fruit trees that adorn the property.

Polished timber floorboards, beautiful high ceilings dressed with decorative plasterwork, gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling adds further appeal. Not only is this home located within the Box Hill High School zone, but Box Hill Central is only minutes away, so too is Box Hill train station and tram transportation for added convenience. The Eastern Freeway, scenic parkland and Laburnum Primary School are also only moments away.
