Box Hill South 2 Verona Street

Loaded with character and set in an appealing shaded garden, this 1930s 3 bedroom brick home in almost original condition represents a time capsule of its era. Light fittings, cornices, built in hall cabinets, timber veneer internal doors and floral carpet give an insight into the design and outfitting of a modern suburban home in Box Hill South's earlier days.

The Art Deco influenced bathroom would have been a design statement at the time, the roomy kitchen has space for the central table that might have served as a work bench and family day to day meals table. The living and separate dining room are spacious and well maintained and the generous main bedroom is at the front of the home, the slightly smaller second bedroom next to it. The family/sun room, laundry, third bedroom and toilet are at the rear. The back door opens to a small private deck, a peaceful place for contemplation and there is a garage, a shed and fruit trees in the good size back garden.

A comprehensive renovation project could offer this gem a chance for a second life as a comfortably modernised and extended family home, or the land of 820 sq m approx be considered for redevelopment (STCA) in an elevated area with the possibility of views from a future upper level.
