Set behind a picket fence in a sought after pocket of Box Hill is an appealing weatherboard home with an inviting verandah set amongst pretty gardens, enticing you forward to see what secrets it holds within. From the moment you enter this charming home, you'll feel that you've been enveloped in a warm hug. It offers all the period features you would expect; ultra-high ceilings, timber fretwork, leadlight windows, 4 x OFPs with beautiful mantles, ceiling roses, decorative cornices, deep skirtings & picture rails. The floorplan is traditional with a long central hallway & rooms off each side. One side boasts a formal lounge & a separate dining room. Both of these draw you in, exuding character & a cosy feeling that makes you want to settle in & admire all the features on offer. The other side offers 2 large bedrooms & the kitchen, which is well placed, allowing you to interact with family/guests in the dining room or the open plan space next door. It has a social breakfast bar with a bespoke mosaic benchtop at one end as well as a central built in granite chopping board in the centre. The cabinets are timber & the upright oven/stove top is complimented by a brick surround, giving an almost rustic feel to the hub of the home. The rear offers a laundry with good storage, 2 toilets plus a central bathroom with a corner spa plus a long vanity & large mirror. In addition is a spacious open plan family room which is the perfect place for casual family fun & a stunning undercover alfresco deck, accessible via double French doors. This leads you to a delightful surprise; a freestanding light filled studio that could be used as a teenagers retreat, a private study/home office or potentially for a home based business. The options are endless as are the spectacular cottage gardens that surround the house & deck, filling the area with a variety of colour & visual stimuli. Upstairs is also a pleasing revelation; a bedroom plus an additional living area or open study/office bathed in abundant natural light from large windows & high attic style rooflines. This area could potentially make a wonderful parents wing dependant on needs of the family as there is also a private timber deck that overlooks the garden vista & paving below. The home offers GDH, extensive ceiling fans plus evaporative cooling throughout. There is further storage with a lock up timber shed in the back plus a single carport at the front. The proximity to wonderful amenities is also part of the attraction; an easy walk to the centre of Box Hill to trains, buses, cafes/restaurants, grocery & fashion shopping, as well as a zoning to the tightly held Box Hill High School. Also close to Sion & other popular schools. A short drive to Eastlink, a number of popular shopping centres including Doncaster Shoppingtown & many parks & recreational facilities. It's time for this timeless home to turn the page; will you be the one creating the next round of memories?
