55 Albion Road, Box Hill

Secluded behind a high brick wall, completely private and charming spaces dominate this romantic 1890 double-fronted Victorian residence. A delightful retreat, which is zoned for Box Hill High School, provides a home only moments from the bustle of Box Hill's thriving shopping and restaurant precinct, as well as the train, tram, hospital, TAFE, and Our Lady of Sion and Kingswood Colleges. A pretty garden and inviting, elevated verandah sweep inside to where the attractive timber-panelled walls are matched by the character of honeyed Baltic pine floorboards. A timelessly elegant extension accommodates the sublime solid wood, bespoke kitchen with stainless steel appliances, overlooking the relaxing open meals and living room before extending outward to a broad covered deck. Facing north, this alfresco area is enhanced by a lush lawn and level, secure garden ideal for children. The master bedroom is spacious and light-filled, with French doors opening on to the deck, and has a charming, heritage-style ensuite and built-in double robes. Two double bedrooms each feature generous double wardrobes and are charmingly appointed. Includes gas-ducted heating, evaporative air-conditioned cooling, garage, and double carport. Walk to restaurants, hospitals, trains, trams, and schools. Pets considered.
